Amy Dowden has been struggling with breast cancer for some time, and she recently took to Instagram to post an update about her current condition. The 33-year-old is known for her dancing skills and has been married to Ben Jones since 2022, as per The Sun.

Dowden posted a picture where she had a smile on her face and started by writing that there was "no evidence of disease." Amy described it as her "biggest accomplishment," adding that she won't get a clear status for five years, but it is still enough for her.

"So grateful for all the care I received and continue to have. To my husband, family and friends who supported me unconditionally and to you guys! Thank you! I will still need a monthly injection for 5 years and regular check ups."

Amy wrote that her cancer treatment has left a different kind of impact on her body and that her recovery will take time. She mentioned that she is happy for the second chance she got for her life and her "life has changed forever." She continued:

"Cancer affects too many so I will continue to do all I can to raise awareness and make sure I get as many as I can to #checkthemselves. It's time to look ahead after what's been the toughest year, and one I certainly didn't expect!"

Dowden's friends and followers expressed their happiness in the comments section, with some of them calling it the "best news ever."


Amy Dowden and Ben Jones tied the knot in 2022

Ben and Amy then exchanged vows in 2022 in South Wales. In an interview with Hello Magazine, Amy said it was her dream to tie the knot in Wales. She added that everything was perfect like she wanted it to be. Her twin sister was one of the bridesmaids, along with Dianne Buswell.

Amy's father, Richard, accompanied her while she walked down the aisle. Oti Mabuse was supposed to attend the wedding, and Amy explained the same by saying:

"She kept the first two dates free, but had to confirm the tour before we had our new date. She's devastated she couldn't make it."

Back in October 2023, Amy Dowden and Ben Jones were spotted going on a date. The former posted a few photos from the date when they had a few drinks, and the caption stated:

"When your having a good day so your husband treats you to brunch."
