Amy Dowden Dances Back to Strictly Finale After Surgery

Amy Dowden, a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, has shared exciting news about her participation in the show's grand final. Despite recently undergoing her second mastectomy operation in early November, she has received clearance from her consultant to perform in a routine. Dowden assured fans she would adhere to strict precautions, emphasizing that she would not be performing any lifts or overly strenuous movements as she continues her recovery.

Filming from her car, Dowden expressed her deep happiness and gratitude for the opportunity to return to the dance floor, even if her part is small. She has been diligently following her doctor's advice and has completed all necessary physiotherapy stretches. The dancer highlighted the importance of taking things gradually, six weeks post-surgery, and is committed to her recovery while being part of the show's special finale week.

Dowden, who was previously declared cancer-free in February after a May 2023 diagnosis, clarified that this recent surgery was not due to a new cancer diagnosis but followed extensive discussions with her medical team. Her return for the grand final underscores her dedication and love for the show, as she eagerly anticipated rejoining her colleagues for the energetic finale.
