Amy Dowden shares emotional post about finally returning to work as she prepares for Strictly comeback amid show's abuse scandal

I have read about Amy Dowden, a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, and her loving tribute to her husband Benjamin Jones on their second wedding anniversary. I was deeply moved by her heartfelt words and the unwavering support she has received from her fellow dancers and fans.


Amy Dowden expressed feelings in a heartfelt post as she gets ready for Strictly Come Dancing again during the recent controversy surrounding the show’s abuse allegations.

Thirty-three-year-old professional dancer expresses her joy as she prepares for a fresh installment, having bravely overcome breast cancer.

In her own words, Amy expressed her immense joy and anticipation about returning to the tour by posting an impressive photo with Carlos Gu: “I’m so thrilled to be back on tour, and it’s hard for me to find the right words to describe my excitement.”

Over the past few weeks, I’ve focused on improving my fitness, increasing my strength, enhancing my nutrition, and boosting my overall health. My goal is not just to return to my previous state, but to surpass it and become even stronger.

Although it’s been a challenging experience for me, I firmly believe that the satisfaction and benefits I gain from giving my best performance make it all worthwhile. Let’s not become bitter; instead, let’s focus on improving ourselves continuously. And having an incredible support system like family and friends who always believe in me is truly a blessing.

After the heartfelt performance by Amy, fans couldn’t contain their emotions and quickly took to social media to shower her with praise, expressing their hope that she would return to dance on Strictly Come Dancing once more.

‘I am so happy to see you looking so well. You are such an inspiration❤️,’ one wrote.

I’m really looking forward to seeing you on tour this year and next. Your return to the stage will mean a great deal and be very special for me.

‘This is fantastic Amy does it mean you’ll be back on Strictly?’;

‘We have tickets for the Aberdeen show, we can’t wait to see you both’.

Last year in May, Amy was informed that she had breast cancer. Later on, she disclosed that physicians discovered additional tumors and she would need to go through chemotherapy treatments as a result.

I’ve been a huge fan of “Strictly Come Dancing” for years, and I was absolutely devastated when my favorite star had to take a break from the show last year due to her health treatments. But now, I’m thrilled to hear that she’s making a comeback! This September, she’ll be gracing the ballroom once again with her presence. Her resilience and determination in the face of adversity are truly inspiring, and I can’t wait to see her dance moves again. It’s a testament to her love for the show and her unwavering dedication to entertaining us all. I’m sure she’ll bring her A-game and leave us speechless with her performances. Let’s give her a warm welcome back!

She has since been told there is no evidence of the disease in her body after undergoing treatment.

Despite having been diagnosed with a type of cancer that requires a five-year wait for a clean bill of health, Amy won’t get the “all clear” right away.

Following the announcement of her homecoming earlier this month, Amy expressed her joy on Instagram about resuming her beloved activities. This revelation occurred only two days after she celebrated the one-year milestone since her initial surgery post-diagnosis.

She expressed her joy and gratitude to be back on BBC Strictly, sharing, “My heart is filled with happiness.” She added, “This team is simply the best, both on and off the dance floor.”

She expressed her excitement: “I’m thrilled to return soon to my favorite activity – dancing! I feel fortunate and more enthusiastic than ever before. Let’s get started! Many thanks to @bbcstricitly for their unwavering support.” #AmyIsBack

The dancer’s fellow professionals were quick to share their delight at the news of her return.

I’m ecstatically thrilled to pieces, almost jumping up and down with joy, to see you here where you truly belong, my dear! (Regarding Dianne Buswell’s statement)

The highly anticipated comeback of Amy is happening at a time when Strictly faced new allegations of bullying, sparking rumors that the program might be canceled.

As an obsessed fan, I can’t help but feel deeply troubled by the recent allegations against my beloved dance stars, Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima. The serious misconduct claims leveled against them have made waves in the news, leaving me anxious and concerned for their futures in the world of dance.

Ever since early 2023 when Amanda Abbington, a 53-year-old contestant on Strictly, accused my beloved partner Giovanni, who’s only 33, of threatening and abusing behavior, I’ve been holding my breath in anticipation. Her allegations came after three of his previous dance partners raised similar concerns. Despite Giovanni denying these claims, it left a dark cloud over the show that led to the departure of the 2021 champion. As an obsessed fan, this news has left me feeling uneasy and uncertain about the future of my favorite dance competition.

After her allegations, Strictly initiated a probe into others associated with the program and implemented fresh policies intended to enhance “backstage care and protection.”

Last Saturday, Graziano, aged 30, was let go due to a broadened investigation into allegations made by his dance partner Zara McDermott, 27. She claimed that he had physically harmed and verbally bullied her during their rehearsals for the 2023 competition.

A few days ago, Amy honored her husband Benjamin Jones on the occasion of their two-year wedding anniversary with a heartfelt tribute.

Fervent supporters of Strictly, leaning towards the left, were moved to tears as she shared a series of beautiful photos from the memorable event on her Instagram account.

As I show you these photos, dear partner of mine, turning 36 today, I can’t help but reflect on our second wedding anniversary. It’s only natural that we’ve faced challenges along the way as we build our life together.

Despite the challenges we faced during the past year, I am deeply grateful for your unwavering support and dedication. Your resilience in keeping our home clean and uplifting my spirits when I needed it most was truly invaluable. Thank you.

Based on my own experiences and observations, I truly cherish the bond we share. Despite the challenges that came our way last year, my love for you has only grown stronger. I am optimistic about the upcoming year, hoping for a more seamless journey. However, what gives me the most comfort is knowing that no matter what comes our way, we will face it together. There’s so much more to look forward to – new adventures, spontaneous plans, home improvement projects, dance classes, and simply enjoying each other’s company. Through all the ups and downs, we remain a team.

‘Love you always xxx your Amy xxx,’ she finished.

Fellow Strictly stars rushed to comment showing their unconditional support. 

Australian professional dancer Dianne Buswell, who served as a bridesmaid at Amy’s wedding in 2022, expressed: “Love love love! Happy wedding day to both of you from your loving bridesmaid. I do adore you both.”

Italian choreographer, who recently won “Strictly” with Ellie Leach, wrote: “Happy anniversary everyone ❤️❤️❤️ I can’t wait to celebrate with you.”

Ballroom legend and judge Shirley Ballas said: ‘Happy anniversary to two beautiful souls.’

Simultaneously, the heartfelt tribute stirred deeper feelings in many fans who expressed their thoughts: “Oftentimes, we overlook the remarkable individual behind the limelight during tough times. Rest in peace, dear couple. May your love continue to thrive and grow.”

Amy demonstrated her deep and enduring affection for Ben during their challenging early marriage days in April 2023, as she discovered a breast lump only one day prior to their honeymoon.
