Strictly's Amy Dowden says condition left her 'scared' celebrities wouldn't dance with her

Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has revealed the heartbreaking reason she worried celebrities wouldn't want to be paired with her. Away from the dance floor, the 36-year-old has courageously spoken about her cancer journey, which saw her sit out the 2023 series while undergoing breast cancer treatment, as well as her ongoing battle with Crohn's disease . The dancer kept her condition under wraps early in her career as choreographers and partners considered her a "risk" who could potentially miss work during flare-ups.
