STRICTLY Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden has said she no longer feels "emotionally attached" to her body following her most recent mastectomy.

- HANNAH ROBERTS

The Welsh dancer, 35, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 and subsequently underwent chemotherapy and a mastectomy.

In November she revealed she would have another mastectomy and said in an Instagram post that she had not received a new cancer diagnosis and could "expect a straightforward recovery".

Dowden, from Caerphilly, appeared on Channel 4's Stand Up To Cancer and reflected on her 2023 appearance when she spoke to the show with a shaved head amid her treatment for the disease.

She said: "Two years ago, very different story when I was here last.
