Amy Dowden has shared a poignant post two years after her cancer diagnosis as she admits that she now happier and healthier than ever after beating the disease.

Taking to her Instagram stories to reflect on her life-altering cancer journey, the Strictly Come Dancing professional shared a video from the midst of her treatment two years. The heart-wrenching video saw the 34-year-old star wrote: “Two years ago today, I’ve been reminded.”

“I’m honestly feeling happier, stronger, and healthier than ever. So grateful and just want to remind those who may need it that this too shall pass.” It comes after Amy admitted that she was ‘deluded’ to think she was ready for a Strictly comeback.

Amy continued in her latest post: “I’m forever grateful and don’t ever take for granted how I’m feeling. This a reminder to live life to the fullest and to remember to check yourself. If you aren’t who is going to? Early detection can save lives.”

In stark contrast to the video clip from her BBC documentary, Amy posted a recent photo of herself looking fit, healthy, and happy during dance rehearsals. Alongside the photo, she wrote: “To now, living my best life in rehearsals.

“Be patient, be kind to yourself, and remember to celebrate all the wins along the way.

“It’s been quite the journey and process to get here and certainly not easy at times but I’m so glad I pushed through and my love for dance is MORE than ever. I didn’t even know that was possible but it is.

Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2023 after she discovered a lump in her breast in April, just before her honeymoon. She sought medical advice upon her return, leading to the diagnosis.

The much-loved BBC star then received the “no evidence of disease” news from her doctors in February 2024, following a health check after her cancer treatment.

In another Instagram post reflecting on her diagnosis, Amy sent an inspirational message to her followers while she was enjoying some time away on holidays with her twin sister Becky. The Strictly Come Dancing star wrote: “Some much-needed twin time.

“We had the perfect little escape – full of sunshine, sangria, beach days, rooftop swims, incredible food, and most importantly, proper quality time together,” she wrote. Amy went on: “After my cancer diagnosis, I promised my family (and myself) that I’d take more downtime. I used to live life at 100mph, saying yes to everything and everyone. But cancer shifts your perspective.

“This year I’ve been incredibly lucky with new job opportunities which have been full on but so rewarding and I can’t wait to share all to you very soon. So having time to slow down isn’t just okay – it’s essential.

“These past few days have been the perfect reset and I’m heading into the new season feeling recharged, happy, stronger, and HEALTHIER than ever.” Amy went on to share some good news about her twin sister as she told her followers: “Also bursting with pride for my sister @becky_dowden – she was accepted into her master’s program in midwifery while we were away (yes, while still working full-time in the NHS!).

“I’m so proud of her and loved treating her to a well-deserved break.” She concluded her lengthy caption by sharing her excitement for the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing. Amy gushed: “Feeling grateful, grounded, and SO excited for @bbcstrictly rehearsals to start tomorrow. Year 9 – let’s go.”
