The heartfelt post garnered a flurry of supportive comments, with her Instagram followers chiming in to commend the couple for their resilience and to wish them continued strength and happiness. One admirer commented: “People forget about the incredible person behind the scenes when the worst thing imaginable hits. Happy anniversary, onwards and upwards to you incredible couple xx.”
“You’ll get through everything together xx congratulations on your special day xx,” added a second, while a third admirer penned: “Most couples would not have survived this test. You have smashed it. Onward and upward you two.”
Another fan shared the sentiment with a message of encouragement: “You really learn the love you have during your toughest times and years. So glad you had each other. It’s tough on both. Wishing you both healthy, happy and fun-filled years ahead. Ye deserve it.”
After her initial cancer diagnosis, the Express reports that Amy opted for a vasectomy. Following the surgery, doctors brought her the grim news that the tumours had spread, and in July, another form of cancer was found. Commencing chemotherapy treatments the subsequent month, Amy faced a formidable battle.
Compelled by her health struggles, the celebrated Welsh dancer missed out on the 2023 instalment of Strictly Come Dancing. Against the odds, she announced her triumphant return to the series later this year, sharing exhilarating news with fans that her latest scans showed “no evidence of disease” after the treatment course.
Now, the TV star is in full recovery and is set to take part in this year’s BBC show. Amy heartwarmingly communicated her eagerness to revisit the glittering stages, confessing an emotional longing to re-embrace her role in the popular dance competition.
