Amy Dowden discusses her cancer treatment
While Amy Dowden has been given the all clear after she was diagnosed with breast cancer, the Strictly Come Dancing professional has revealed treatment will continue for five years.
She joined Craig Doyle and Sian Welby on This Morning to chat about her new book, Dancing in the Rain and BBC documentary, Amy Dowden: Fight of My Life.
Amy remarked: "Thank you for having me, it's been quite a whirlwind of the last 18 months and actually yesterday my family came and watched me dance for the first time since and tonight the documentary coming out.
"It feels like a lot of emotions at the moment."
Craig asked: "How are you?" as Amy shared: "I'm doing really well thank you. I still have my monthly injection and will do for the next five years but at the moment my tests are good, everything is positive and I just feel like in this last week being back at Elstree at Strictly, I really feel like the old Amy is back."
Later, Amy touched on her return to Strictly, which launches on September 14, sharing there is a special number.
Craig remarked: "When you describe this process and everything you've been through, it's kind of amazing that we're going to see you on the new series of Strictly. I mean, fair play to you, it's inspiring. You must be so grateful and excited."
"Yeah and the Strictly family they were there for me every step of the way," Amy shared. "Yesterday, I can't say too much but dancing again a very special number and the boys came and picked me up at the end and run me off the floor. It was so emotional and so lovely. It was so surreal and I just can't stop smiling."
Amy refused to dish on who her celebrity partner is but encouraged fans to tune into the launch next month: "14th of September, we've been working so hard on the 20th year."
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10am and Strictly Come Dancing returns to the BBC later this year.
