Why she kept cancer fears to herself

As well as heading back to the Strictly studios, Amy also recently made her Loose Women debut.

During the chat with the ladies, Amy explained that she initially kept her fears to herself after finding the lump and headed off on honeymoon with husband Ben: “He wouldn’t have gone and I really wanted this honeymoon break and what we could have done? I didn’t want anybody to worry until we knew.”

The dancer continued: “I came back and made an appointment with the GP. She sent me for an emergency referral. I can remember coming out of that and ringing my twin sister. I just knew I could tell. I’ve had Crohn’s disease since 11 years old and I’ve spent a lot of time in the hospital so I can read the doctors from the nurses.”

Amy eventually told Ben when the doctors said she needed someone at her appointments with her. She concluded: “I had to tell him when the doctors said you need someone with you.”
