And as she faced missing the rest of the contest due to injury, she said: "I'm so sad, so upset and asking, why me."

Amy missed Strictly 2023 as she had treatment for breast cancer and was thrilled to return and to be paired with JB Gill.

She said: "The past few months I finally felt like me again.

"Cancer was no longer the first thing I thought of when I woke up. It was choreography, music choices... I felt free again.

"My goal since hearing those words you have cancer' was to get back on the Strictly dance floor.
