Amy Dowden says she has "stopped being angry" and is determined to move on from her cancer. The 34-year-old star - who announced she had grade three cancer in May 2023 - has given her fans a candid look into her treatment and recovery in an emotional new documentary. She also has her own book 'Dancing In The Rain' out next month.

In a new interview with Prima, Amy speaks about overcoming her battle with breast cancer, tackling negative thoughts, her new book, and why she’s so excited to return to the dancefloor this autumn. She told the magazine: “I’ve come through the other side, and I can’t be angry any more. I can’t change what’s happened, I can only move on.

I have the rest of my life ahead of me and I can’t give it any more time than it has already taken.” “When you suffer from a chronic illness or cancer, there’s a weird sense that the world is spinning without you. Your normality is taken away and you lose a sense of purpose.

I’m usually such a busy bee, but I was waking up every day and not doing what I love, so the book gave me purpose in what was a very lonely dark time.” Amy was initially diagnosed with grade three breast cancer, aged 32, in May 2023 after finding a lump in her breast the day before she went on her honeymoon. She hoped the surgery would solve it, but two months later was told doctors had found "more tumours" and "another type of cancer".
