Professional dancer Amy Dowden made a surprise return to Strictly last night – the star appeared without a wig after recently shaving off her hair in her breast cancer battle
Brave Amy Dowden has broken her silence to say she "embraced the bald" after she appeared on Strictly Come Dancing without a wig amid her breast cancer battle.
Presenter Claudia Winkleman introduced the 33 year old star, who was wearing a floor-length white sequin gown, with Amy then telling viewers: "I am halfway through treatment for chemo, and I can't wait to be back with you all soon." Taking to Instagram, the dancer said: "There are no words to describe the pure joy and happiness I felt last night being back with my @bbcstrictly family. It is their love and support that gave me the courage to decide last minute to step out and brave the bald."
Amy, who revealed she'd been diagnosed with Grade 3 breast cancer in May this year, also revealed that it was supportive messages from fans that inspired her to ditch the wigs she's been wearing, for the show.
