Star of Strictly Amy Dowden has been congratulated by fans as she celebrates the release of her book, Dancing in the Rain.
The Welsh dancer has had a rollercoaster year and a half after battling with cancer. Amy was first diagnosed with grade 3 breast cancer in May 2023. However, after undergoing a mastectomy, she found out the cancer had spread. She endured eight rounds of chemo between August and November and received the all-clear.
Amy will make her Strictly return later this month after being unable to compete last year.

“Just want to say a big THANK YOU to all who have pre ordered and everyone who supported me through this. Really hoping it helps others to keep pushing towards their dreams through tougher times,” she continued.
