A number of Strictly Come Dancing stars have shown their support to Amy Dowden after she marked a major milestone in her battle with cancer.
Dowden revealed she'd completed her final round of chemotherapy this week after being diagnosed with breast cancer in May.
A tearful Dowden was embraced by staff as well as friends and family in the hospital as she rang the bell in the ward to mark the end of her chemo treatment.
The pro dancer admitted her chemo was the "toughest" part of her battle with the illness but was "eternally grateful" that her treatment has "hopefully now given me chance of more life".
Alongside the tearful update, Dowden also wrote: "I’ll never be the same Amy again but, what I do know is I’m so much stronger than I ever knew and I have made the most amazing friends along the way."
After she shared a video of herself ringing the bell on Instagram, it didn't take long for fans alongside a number of Strictly stars to share their messages of support.
