Star of Strictly Amy Dowden was accompanied by her husband Ben Jones to her last hospital appointment before Christmas today (Thursday, December 21).
The 33-year-old Welsh dancer announced in May that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. After undergoing a mastectomy, she received a second diagnosis of cancer. Due to having chemotherapy, Amy didn’t compete in this year’s series of Strictly. However, she still managed to make a few appearances.
However, last month, Amy rang the bell at the hospital after she completed her final round of chemo.
