Port out but unfortunately gained a boot for a fractured foot.<\/p>\n\u201cAbsolutely gutted and heartbroken as this means the plans for me to dance in the Strictly Ballroom this year are no longer possible. This is what has kept me going the past few months.\u201d<\/p>
She concluded the caption: \u201c2023 is certainly not my year, roll on 2024 I say!\u201d<\/p>\n
Following her diagnosis, Dowden underwent a mastectomy and was then told she would need chemotherapy after cancer had been found elsewhere in her body.<\/p>\n
Her chemotherapy came to an end last week, with the Strictly star announcing the news on her social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cStill can\u2019t believe I had my last chemo on Thursday. The relief is like no other. But I couldn\u2019t have got through it without these guys,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTHANK YOU! My toughest journey yet but I did it. Honestly so many to thank but it\u2019s so appreciated. All your love and support throughout this stage has been utterly amazing and I\u2019ll never be able to thank you enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
The professional dancer has featured on the show in some capacity during the latest season, with Amy making a return during the Saturday night performances to watch and cheer on her co-stars and their celebrity partners.<\/p>
