The dancer, who has Crohn's disease, called being formally made a Member of the Order of the British Empire for services to fundraising and raising awareness of bowel conditions an "out-of-body experience".

The BBC show's first Welsh professional was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 shortly after returning from her honeymoon.
