Strictly Come Dancing pro dancer Amy Dowden has been very open about her cancer journey, from her diagnosis, to her struggles with chemo, and coming out the other side

Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has been open with fans about her treatment for breast cancer since she first got her stage three diagnosis.

Speaking to Hello Magazine, she said: "I was in the shower and I felt this hard lump in my right breast. I was in shock; I checked again." Now a full year on, there is "no evidence of disease", but she is left coming to terms with the toll it's had on her. Amy didn't want to do it, but her former dance teacher stepped in to encourage her. She was undergoing IVF to create and freeze embryos at the time, hoping she and Ben might still have children.

Speaking on The One Show, Amy shared how difficult it was to lose her hair from chemo. The star said she wasn't able to brush her hair or look at herself in the mirror during this time.
