Strictly star Amy faces second mastectomy
Merthyr Express
|November 06, 2025
STRICTLY Come Dancing star Amy Dowden admitted “there's no guarantee” as she updated fans on her health in her ongoing cancer battle.
The 35-year-old announced her breast cancer diagnosis in May 2023, meaning she could not take part in that year's series of Strictly. She underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy and fertility treatment before she almost died after contracting the deadly infection sepsis.
On Monday, the Caerphilly-born dancer revealed she is set to undergo a second mastectomy.
Her shock initial diagnosis came less than a year after she got married to professional dance partner Ben Jones, and delayed their desire to start a family. Before she started her chemo she was placed in medically-induced menopause but only after five of her embryos were retrieved.
