Fans are wishing the professional dancer a brighter 2024. <\/p>
Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden has expressed her hopes of returning to the BBC show, following a difficult year in which she has battled cancer and other serious health conditions.<\/p>\n
In May 2023, the Welsh dancer announced she had been diagnosed with stage III breast cancer, with further complications including sepsis in August and blood clots, including one on her lung for which she is currently administering injections.<\/p>\n
Throughout her illness, Dowden has maintained a strong desire<\/a> to compete in Strictly Come Dancing once again \u2013 which remains a top goal as she looks ahead to 2024.<\/p>\n She told ITV\u2019s Lorraine: \u201cI just want to get myself back on that dance floor and it would be amazing to win Strictly, but [just] to be back with the gang, dancing, doing what I love, in front of an audience with the people I love. I\u2019ve missed it so much.\u201d<\/p>\n The beautiful and brave Amy Dowden is saying goodbye to 2023 and shared a feeling many can relate to holiday season \ud83d\udc95 #AmyDowden<\/a> #Lorraine<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/6jUDPFZamD<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Lorraine (@lorraine) January 3, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
