Amy Dowden, a talented dancer on the popular show Strictly Come Dancing, has made the difficult decision to leave the current series due to health issues. This comes as a heartbreaking blow to fans who have been following her journey on the show.
Amy had previously taken a break from the show to undergo cancer treatment, but she made a triumphant return earlier this year. Unfortunately, she was forced to miss a live show with her celebrity dance partner JB Gill after falling ill the previous weekend. As a result, she was unable to rehearse with JB and did not perform during the latest live show.
Her fellow professional dancer Lauren Oakley stepped in to perform with JB and received high praise for their routine. It has now been confirmed that Lauren will continue in the competition with JB as Amy focuses on her recovery from a foot injury.
In a heartfelt statement on Instagram, Amy expressed her sadness at having to leave the competition. She shared her journey of overcoming cancer and the joy she felt at being back on the dance floor. Amy praised JB as a talented and kind partner and expressed her hope to dance with him again in the future.
The Strictly Come Dancing spokesperson confirmed Amy’s departure from the competition and emphasized that the health and well-being of everyone involved in the show is always the top priority. They sent Amy love and well wishes as she focuses on her recovery.
It is always difficult to see a talented dancer like Amy leave the show, but her health and well-being must come first. Fans will surely miss her presence on the dance floor, but they will continue to support her on her journey to recovery. We hope to see Amy back on the Strictly dance floor in the future, dancing once again with passion and joy.
