Bikini clad Amy Dowden shares sizzling snaps of herself on holiday with her husband Ben Jones before the ‘craziness begins again’

by

Amy Dowden recently posted a collection of photos from her Mallorca vacation with her husband, Ben Jones.

The 35-year-old star of Strictly Come Dancing showed off a black bikini with gold details while on the beach. She completed the look with a straw hat and sunglasses.

The dancer displayed her toned physique in a revealing bikini while posing against a beautiful, clear ocean backdrop.

She also shared a stylish photo with Ben before dinner, showing her in a softly colored striped dress.

Oh my gosh, Amy looked absolutely incredible! Her hair was perfectly styled, all smoothed back, and she had these amazing stud earrings. And the sandals! Strappy and perfect for a vacation… she just always looks effortlessly chic, it’s unreal!

In a social media post, she mentioned they were enjoying a relaxing vacation before things got hectic again.

Amy impulsively booked a short getaway to the beach, hoping to relax before things get hectic again.

Amy will resume her Reborn tour at the end of May, teaming up once more with Carlos Gu, who she previously toured with last year.

Reborn isn’t just a dance show with one routine after another; it’s a show that tells stories through dance, drawing inspiration from the performers’ own lives.

Amy’s performance showcases her journey recovering from breast cancer and rediscovering her passion for dance. Carlos, on the other hand, shares how his life has transformed and how he’s found a sense of freedom and self-discovery while living in the UK.

The dance show premiered last spring with performances at venues across the UK, and was so successful they’ve decided to continue it for a longer period.

While Amy and Carlos haven’t been officially confirmed for the next season of Strictly, they haven’t been ruled out either.

Amy and Carlos avoided directly answering questions about the recent firings on Strictly Come Dancing when they appeared on BBC Breakfast last month.

Gorka Márquez, Luba Mushtuk, Michelle Tsiakkas, Nadiya Bychkova, and Karen Hauer—ages 30 to 43—will no longer be part of the show.

Amy, a BBC show participant since 2017, and Carlos, who joined in 2022, discussed their live tour, “Amy and Carlos: Reborn.”

As a huge Strictly fan, I was so excited to hear Charlie talk about the upcoming series! He acknowledged all the buzz around who’s going to be partnered up this year – you know, who’s going to be on the show itself. It’s that time of year where everyone’s guessing, and he just confirmed that’s definitely happening!

‘There’s a lot of it knocking around at the moment, are you able to say anything about that?’

Amy responded, saying people have been constantly asking about it, but the BBC hasn’t made any official announcement yet.

We’re excited about the possibility of returning to Strictly Come Dancing later this year, but please keep an eye out for official news before jumping to conclusions.

‘There is so much speculation, but nothing has come from the BBC.’

Charlie went on to say that he believes it’s essentially a job, and sometimes people get distracted by the excitement and perceived prestige of being on the show.

Essentially, this task falls to you, and figuring out if you actually have the work to do is a bit complicated, isn’t it? It’s a job that needs doing.

Amy replied: ‘It is, but we put our heart and soul into it, we love it.’

Carlos added: ‘It’s our life! It’s not only work. 

As a dancer, this is the ideal platform to showcase your talent and truly shine.

‘As a dancer and as an artist, both we are, we live our life and give everything that we have.

You know, when I work on a project, it’s not just about earning a paycheck. It truly becomes a part of who I am. It’s more than a job – it’s a passion that I pour my heart and soul into, and honestly, it feels like a lifestyle.

According to a source, significant changes are happening, and the dancers are scheduled to discuss their contracts in the coming weeks.

After a period of difficulty, leaders are looking to rebuild with new people and begin a new chapter.

Gorka has been on the show for ten years and reached the final three times. He met his partner, Gemma Atkinson, while appearing on the series in 2017.

Gorka Marquez has officially announced he’s leaving Strictly Come Dancing, resolving recent speculation about his involvement in the show.

He’s the newest prominent figure to depart the popular show, as part of a major cast overhaul happening before the show’s 24th season later this year.

He announced on Instagram on Tuesday that he’s leaving Strictly Come Dancing. He explained that after stepping back last year because of scheduling issues with both Strictly and Dancing With The Stars Spain, he’s decided to retire from professional dancing on the show.

‘I will always be incredibly grateful to Strictly and the BBC for everything. 

Being on the show wasn’t just a job; it completely changed my life. Over the last decade, it helped me turn my hobby into a career, find love, start a family, and create lasting friendships.

‘For that, I will forever be thankful. 

Even though my time competing on Strictly is over, I’m so thrilled to still be dancing with everyone on the Pro Tour starting this week! It feels amazing to continue being part of the Strictly family – it truly means the world to me.

Now’s the moment to relax, watch the action, and maybe even score some points as a judge!

I’m so grateful for all the support and love everyone has shown me during this amazing experience. And remember to keep dancing!

Luba has been with the show for eight years, but hasn’t been paired with a celebrity dancer recently.

Michelle became part of the show in 2022, joining other talented performers like Vito Coppola, Carlos Gu, and Lauren Oakley.

In 2024, she danced with Jamie Borthwick on the show, but they were unfortunately eliminated after ten weeks.

The Daily Mail then revealed that Nadiya has been dropped from the show.

Nadiya has been a professional on Strictly Come Dancing for eight years, dancing with a variety of celebrities like TV’s Dan Walker, singer Matt Goss, and actor Davood Ghadami.

I’m absolutely gutted! I just found out – and I have to share, even though it’s awful – that Karen, who’s been on Strictly since 2012 – the longest-serving female pro, can you believe it?! – has been dropped by the bosses. It’s just… shocking! I can’t believe they’d let her go.
