Amy Dowden’s Journey Through Cancer and Dance | Leeds News

Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description

Amy Dowden, Strictly Come Dancing star and breast cancer survivor, is on the run in Celebrity Hunted alongside partner Carlos Gu—ditching dance shoes for a fugitive lifestyle. Diagnosed with stage three breast cancer at 32, she endured chemo and two mastectomies, including a second in November 2023. In 2024, she declared no evidence of disease—a triumph she calls her greatest achievement. Marking three years since her first surgery, she now lives with profound gratitude, having faced fertility treatments and early menopause before modern medicine. A genealogical discovery revealed her paternal great-grandmother also battled breast cancer and died at 39 in 1921, deepening her appreciation for today’s medical miracles. Married to dancer Ben Jones, they run a dance school and are preserving embryos while navigating the uncertain path to motherhood, driven by an unwavering desire to build a family.
