Amy Dowden has told fans she was rushed to hospital last week in latest news – with her family forced to “drop everything” to be at her bedside.
The Strictly star was diagnosed with breast cancer in May last year. She underwent a mastectomy but soon received another diagnosis. And in November, Amy rang the bell at the hospital after completing her final round of chemo.
Now, Amy has opened up about a recent health scare that saw her get hospitalised.
Amy Dowden rushed to hospital
On Monday (February 19) she took to her Instagram to share a series of snaps from her in hospital at the respiratory unit. Amy could be seen in some snaps having to use oxygen masks.
In the captions, Amy told fans: “So last week didn’t exactly go to plan! Feeling much better now and still taking it easy. But can’t thank the NHS and the care I received on respiratory unit enough!”

In the second snap, Amy posed from her hospital bed, with a member of family next to her bedside. She wrote: “Also to my family and Ben of course. Always dropping everything and spending endless hours next to my bed whilst I mainly slept.”
Amy and hubby Ben first struck up a romance in 2011 when they were dance partners. Fast forward to 2022, and the pair tied the knot in Wales.
Amy ‘feeling much better’
And in the third post, she uploaded a snap of her using an oxygen mask. Amy penned in the caption: “Feeling much better and thanks for the many messages after going quiet! Off to the oncology unit today for my monthly injection (missed it last week with being poorly). How is everyone? The sun is shining and certainly can’t wait for spring.”
Amy ‘looks and appreciates life so differently’
Meanwhile, for the final snap, Amy posed with her thumps up dressed in a cream hoodie. She penned: “Love hate with this monthly injection. Helping not feed my cancer. But it’s a brutal side needle and sitting watching everyone have chemo is [heartbreaking]. Just want to hug everyone and take it all away for them! But I look at all with such admiration with their strength and spirit. Then the oncology team are simply pure angels! Certainly look and appreciate life so differently now!”
