Amy ruled out for week after shock hospital dash

AMY Dowden will miss Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing show with fellow pro Lauren Oakley stepping in to dance with JB Gill instead.

Lauren trained with the JLS star yesterday after Amy's shock collapse at the weekend.

BBC bosses have now confirmed Amy, who was declared free of breast cancer in February, will miss the pair's couple's choice dance for week seven.

A Strictly spokeswoman said: "Amy Dowden MBE is doing much better and the Strictly family send her love and wish her well.

"She is delighted that fellow professional dancer Lauren Oakley is able to step in for rehearsals and to perform in Saturday's show for JB Gill's couple's choice dance.

"We are all hopeful that Amy will be back to dance with JB next week."
