Strictly Come Dancing favourite Amy Dowden has bravely opened up about her recent health struggles, sharing an emotional update with her devoted followers after being rushed to hospital earlier this week.
The 33-year-old professional dancer, who has been battling breast cancer since her diagnosis last year, posted a touching message from her hospital bed alongside a photograph showing her giving a thumbs-up to the camera.
Unexpected Hospital Dash
"Back in hospital and another admission," the Welsh dancer revealed, explaining that she'd been admitted on Tuesday evening. Despite the concerning development, Amy maintained her characteristic positive spirit, adding: "Another week of being brave."
While the specific reason for this latest hospital stay hasn't been disclosed, it comes as another challenging chapter in Amy's ongoing health journey that has seen her undergo chemotherapy and other intensive treatments.
Overwhelming Support System
In her heartfelt social media post, Amy made sure to thank the incredible NHS team caring for her, writing: "Thank you to all the NHS staff who are looking after me."
The Strictly star also expressed deep gratitude to her army of supporters, whose messages of encouragement have provided comfort during difficult times. "And thank you for all the lovely messages," she added, acknowledging the outpouring of love from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
Cancer Journey Continues
Amy's health battle began when she discovered a lump in her breast just one day before heading to the Maldives for her honeymoon with husband Ben Jones. Since her diagnosis, she's been remarkably open about her treatment journey, using her platform to raise awareness about breast cancer symptoms and the importance of early detection.
Despite being forced to sit out the last series of Strictly Come Dancing as a competing professional, Amy made several special appearances on the show, demonstrating her unwavering determination and passion for dance.
Looking Forward with Hope
Throughout her challenging treatment, Amy has consistently maintained a positive outlook, often sharing uplifting messages with her followers. Her latest hospital update continues this pattern of bravery in the face of adversity.
As she continues her recovery journey, fans and colleagues from the Strictly family continue to send their love and support, hoping to see the beloved dancer back on the ballroom floor when she's fully recovered and ready to return.
