Amy Dowden has provided fans with an update following her second mastectomy surgery. Taking to social media, the Strictly star confirmed the operation has gone well. She shared an image of herself in her hospital bed on her Instagram account. The professional dancer was first diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2023. At the time, she underwent treatment including a mastectomy, chemotherapy, fertility treatment. She also almost died of sepsis, before recovering and returning to Strictly. She had revealed earlier in the week how she required another mastectomy operation. And in an update, she has shared it went well - and she was even watching the Celebrity Traitors finale. Taking to Instagram, Amy shared an image of herself in a hospital bed with husband Ben and family members with her. She wrote: "Thank you for all the messages and love. "Sorry I’ve not replied to anyone, (only just looked at my phone). Surgery went well and lots of sleep and resting up." She went on: "Hubby & Family have been looking after me and the besties have turned up with the goods and nothing is stopping us from watching the traitors…keeping the tradition going." Many of her Strictly pals and cast mates were quick to comment on the update. Among them was fellow dancer Dianne Buswell, who said: "Heal and rest up Amy." * This is a breaking showbiz news story.
