“After a crazy week of hospital tests and apts [appointments] last week, Ben and I then went away for a few days and it’s exactly what we both needed.”

Amy vows to win Strictly
Earlier this month, Amy vowed to win Strictly as she said she had a “good feeling” about 2024.
“After having a mastectomy, chemotherapy, fertility treatment, the lot, I am now finally looking ahead to 2024,” she said on BBC Radio Wales.
“I’ve just got a good feeling it’s going to be my year and hopefully I’m going to get that Glitterball and I’m going to bring it back to Wales, because a Welsh professional dancer’s never won the show,” she then continued.
“That might be because I’m the only ever Welsh professional dancer to be on the show. But, yeah, that’s my aim for 2024, to get fit and healthy and to get myself back on that Strictly dancefloor.”
The closest Amy has been to winning was in 2019 when she reached the final with Karim Zeroual.
