‘Strictly’ star has confirmed the surgery is ‘not to treat a new cancer diagnosis’
www.independent.co.ukHere’s the latest available update I can share:
- Amy Dowden has been in the public eye largely for updates on her health journey related to breast cancer. In late 2025, reports indicate she announced plans for a second mastectomy, stressing it was not for a new cancer diagnosis and expressing hope for a smooth recovery.[1][3]
- She has also been seen publicly supporting Strictly Come Dancing from home while continuing treatment and recovery, with subsequent coverage noting ongoing treatment plans and a positive outlook about returning to the show when ready.[3][6]
- Earlier 2025 coverage highlighted hospital visits and emotional updates to fans as she navigated treatment, including hospital appointments and moments where she asked for support from her community, while reiterating her commitment to transparency about her health.[2][4]
