The professional dancer, 35, was diagnosed with cancer in May 2023 and underwent a gruelling treatment programme including chemotherapy and a masectomy, before revealing in February doctors had found no further sign of the disease. At the time, Amy explained that she wouldn’t get the official ‘all clear’ until five years down the line, and that she’d still need treatment. Now Amy has revealed that she is undergoing another surgery to treat the disease.

So I’d like to start by being clear what I am about to share is not to treat a new cancer diagnosis. ‘However following a recent appointment with my incredible medical team, we’ve decided that I’ll be having another mastectomy this week. They’re confident that all will go well and I can expect a straightforward recovery. ‘Once I have healed I look forward to rejoining my strictly family. Of course I’m going to miss not being there so much but I will be watching from home and look forward to cheering everyone on. Thank you always for all the support.’ More to follow. Got a story?
