Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden was taken to hospital after “feeling unwell” following the live show on Saturday. An ambulance was called to Elstree Studios in Borehamwood as a “precaution” but the Welsh dancer is “feeling much better”, her representative said. Dowden, 34, could not compete in the BBC dance competition last year because she was undergoing treatment for breast cancer including having a mastectomy and chemotherapy.
A post shared by BBC iPlayer (@bbciplayer) A spokesperson for Dowden said: “Amy was feeling unwell and so an ambulance was called as a precaution. “She is feeling much better and would like to thank the Strictly family for their love and concern. “We request Amy’s privacy in matters of health is kindly respected.
” Before she was taken to hospital on Saturday, Dowden and her celebrity partner, JLS singer JB Gill, glided their way to a score of 32 with their foxtrot to Dancing In The Moonlight by Toploader. An East of England Ambulance Service spokesman said: “We were called just after 9pm on Saturday to attend a medical emergency at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood. “An ambulance was sent to the scene.
One patient, an adult female, was transported to Barnet Hospital for further care.” Dowden first found a lump in her breast the day before going to the Maldives on her honeymoon with fellow professional dancer Ben Jones, and was subsequently diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. In February, she announced tests showed.
