Strictly Come Dancing favourite Amy Dowden has shared her latest health update with fans after being given the go-ahead for another round of chemotherapy.
The 33-year-old from Caerphilly was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and has been going through treatment since.
But Amy has now revealed “the finish line is in sight” and that she should be “ringing that chemo bell” after the next session.
Over the last few weeks, Strictly viewers have been delighted to see surprise appearances from Amy on the recent live shows of the BBC dancing competition alongside the other professionals.
