Amy Dowden Faces Setback with Foot Injury on Strictly Come Dancing

Amy Dowden, a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, has officially stepped out of the current series due to a foot injury. At the age of 34, Amy recently battled stage 3 breast cancer and was previously in remission while managing Crohn's disease. Following her emotional return to the show, she collapsed backstage just after a performance, prompting concerns about her health. To allow for her recovery, Lauren Oakley has been introduced as her replacement partner for JB Gill. On a recent episode of It Takes Two, presenters confirmed that Amy would not be returning for the remainder of the series, as her health and recovery are the top priority. Acknowledging her struggles, Amy expressed gratitude towards Lauren for stepping in and also thanked her fellow dancers for their support during this difficult time.
