Strictly Come Dancing fans have noticed Amy Dowden did not appear on Sunday night's results show - as she collapsed backstage on the show. The 33-year-old Welsh actress missed out on the 2023 season of Strictly as she battled cancer - but made a triumphant return for the 2024 season after beating back the disease. She has been paired with JLS star JB Gill and on Saturday night they secured 32 points from the judges after performing a lively Foxtrot.
However, Amy fell ill soon after the live show was filmed and had to be rushed to hospital. She was then absent from the results show as a result - as this is filmed on Saturday night immediately after the live show. A representative for Amy told The Mirror : "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." Amy bravely battled breast cancer last year - and after a health check in March was thrilled to reveal "no evidence of disease".
She then set her sights on getting back to the dancefloor and was given a partner in the current series to make a full comeback. Appearing on BBC Breakfast in March Amy had said: "This is the longest I've never danced for since May so I need to get my body back into it. And obviously, my body's been through so much with chemo so it's building up gradually.
But I have missed it so much. I used to go and support them.
