She told Hello! magazine<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ve been on the phone to the Strictly team. They said they\u2019re getting me some fabulous wigs ready [for any appearances].

It\u2019s the tonic that I need at the moment.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are so many ways to be involved, and they\u2019re going to be guided by me. I\u2019m just really grateful for them keeping me involved, and giving me the support and encouragement I need.\u201d<\/p>\n The dancer added: \u201cThat\u2019s something I\u2019ve really noticed, in the last few months in particular: my Strictly family on and off the show.\u201d<\/p>\n In a statement to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Strictly\u2019s executive producer Sarah James said: \u201cWe will continue to support Amy whilst she receives her treatment, and will work closely with her to ensure she can be involved in the upcoming series.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone in the Strictly Come Dancing family is continuing to send all our love and well wishes to Amy.\u201d<\/p> The dancer has also thanked her fans for the support she has received since announcing her diagnosis.<\/p>\n Following an Instagram Live earlier this year, Amy posted a message to her fans and said<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019ll tackle this next step the best I can and very blessed to have the love and support of my family and friends along with you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n The dancer said the rest of the year looked \u201cvery different to what was planned\u201d but added: \u201cHopefully I\u2019ll enter 2024 cancer free\u201d.<\/p>\n If you have been affected but the issues discussed in this article, you can visit MacMillan<\/a> or call 0808 808 0000 for support.
