BBC Strictly star Amy Dowden broke down in tears (Image: BBC) Amy Dowden revealed she broke down in tears last night as a nurse issued a stark warning after the Strictly Come Dancing favourite was diagnosed with grade III breast cancer in May last year. The professional dancer underwent a difficult recovery from having a masectomy and chemotherapy sessions as she issued a new update.
