Her Strictly co-stars and fans have rushed to show her their support
Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has been flooded with support after sharing the emotional moment she shaved her head. The talented dancer has been candidly sharing her journey after being diagnosed with stage three breast cancer.
The Caerphilly-born dancer then later confirmed after her surgery that doctors found another type of cancer which she described as a “massive blow” as it meant she would not be able to compete in Strictly this year as she'd have to undergo chemotherapy. On Thursday , Amy took to Instagram and shared a video of her sat in a chair ready to have a hair shaved by her husband and her family. In the tear-jerking clip, the 33-year-old could be seen taking selfies with each of her family members while her hair was still chopped in a bob cut.
"I’m missing every possible aspect of dancing. I just wanted to keep my identity with my hair and I tried telling myself it wouldn’t go. But I would dread the pain of waking up to the shredding every day. I’ve not been able to take control of this journey so far, but as you can see with some of my loved ones I took the courage and CONTROL.
