The dancer has opened up after she was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in May last year

Amy Dowden has shared a fresh health update as she was seen during her latest visit to the hospital. The Strictly Come Dancing star was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in May last year after she found a lump in her breast in April, the day before going to the Maldives on honeymoon with her husband, fellow professional dancer Ben Jones.

While she was told the positive news that there was no evidence of disease, Amy will not receive the “all clear” for five years due to her type of cancer. Amy has since said she is “working hard” to get her body ready for a return to Strictly Come Dancing following her battle with breast cancer. She told BBC Breakfast on Tuesday : "I can’t believe it’s a year since I found the lump. But I’m just so grateful in the year for the treatment I’ve had, the NHS, and all the charities, everybody that’s helped me to be still here today."

Amy is now supporting The Big Help Out, a campaign to showcase how volunteering benefits both communities and the people who take part, and she said: "Unfortunately one in two of us in our lifetime is diagnosed with cancer but charities like Cancer Research UK, Macmillan Cancer Support, Young Lives Vs Cancer, Breast Cancer Now, they wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for volunteers.
