Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden was visibly moved as she marked one year since being told she was cancer-free.
The professional dancer, 34, courageously battled breast cancer in 2023 after finding a lump and subsequently underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy treatment.
It was last February that Amy discovered she had no evidence of cancer, and despite still needing treatment, Amy said it was something she’d “dreamed of”.
Reminiscing about her announcement from a year ago, the Caerphilly-born star reshared the original post on Instagram Story captioning it: “One year ago today I shared this news,” followed by a face holding back tears emojis, and ending with pink hearts and bows.
She concluded her message with a crucial reminder: “Please remember to check your chest!”
