AMY Dowden from Strictly Come Dancing gives us an update on her cancer battle while enjoying a rare date with her husband.
The 33-year-old was diagnosed with cancer for the second time in July.
She took to Instagram to share a lovely photo with her husband, adding the caption: “When your having a good day so your husband treats you to brunch #itsthelittlethings #havingagoodday #chemo #newwig”
One fan commented: “Love this of you both. What an incredible inspiration you are to the nation.”
Another fan added: “Love to you both. Keep smiling. We know what you both are going through. Keep fighting”.
A third supporter wrote: “Following your story, in awe of your bravery and positivity, Amy. Sending love and healing vibes PS saving my champers for the day you get the all clear!”
Amy is a professional ballroom and Latin dancer who gained recognition through her appearances on Strictly Come Dancing.
She was known for her dedication to the show before she had to leave due to her health.
Amy has started chemotherapy treatment and recently made the heart-wrenching decision to shave her hair.
She also revealed that she experienced complications after a round of chemo nearly cost her her life.
Speaking to The Mirror, she explained: “After both my first cycles I developed the life-threatening side-effects that can come with chemo, so I had it all in the first month.”
About a week ago, she attended the Pride of Britain Awards and showed her fighting spirit as she went bald on the carpet complete with a beautiful pink silk dress.
