Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden was visibly moved as she marked one year since being told she was cancer-free.
The professional dancer, 34, courageously battled breast cancer in 2023 after finding a lump and subsequently underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy treatment.
It was last February that Amy discovered she had no evidence of cancer, and despite still needing treatment, Amy said it was something she’d “dreamed of”.
Reminiscing about her announcement from a year ago, the Caerphilly-born star reshared the original post on Instagram Story captioning it: “One year ago today I shared this news,” followed by a face holding back tears emojis, and ending with pink hearts and bows.
She concluded her message with a crucial reminder: “Please remember to check your chest!”

Amy also provided a link to her acclaimed BBC documentary, Amy Dowden: Cancer and Me, which garnered considerable praise and support upon its release.
In the original post, Amy said beating cancer was her “greatest achievement yet” and that going through the treatment was “all worth it”.
The TV star revealed she would need to have monthly injections for the following five years and regular check ups, adding: “I have so much to strive and live for, and so grateful for another chance at life!”
Despite her challenging year, Amy returned to the Strictly dance floor in 2025 and was partnered with JB Gill.
Amy has been passionately involved in advocacy work to promote regular breast exams, following her own experience, and has even received recognition with an MBE for her fundraising efforts and raising awareness for Crohn’s disease.

On World Cancer Day, Amy shared an emotional tribute as she honoured the survivors and those lost to the disease.
Alongside images documenting her treatment journey, the Strictly star wrote: “WORLD CANCER DAY supporting those living with cancer, those supporting their loved one’s affected by cancer, admiring the survivors, honoring those we have lost, and never, ever GIVING UP.
“Please check yourself and if you notice any changes with your body or how you feel please book an apt with your GP! Forever grateful to the Drs, nurses, paramedics, NHS, researchers, volunteers, charities and to all those individuals who have helped and supported me!
“Since those words in 2023, sorry Amy it’s cancer, my life will never be the same. But I’m so grateful to those above who saved me, made me stronger and even more determined! Welsh love to all those affected by cancer, especially those finding today tough! #worldcancerday #mycancerjourney.”
