PRO dancer Amy Dowden says she was determined to win last week's dance-off because it is only being on Strictly that has made her feel herself again after her cancer fightback.

Amy, 34, whose celebrity partner is JLS singer JB Gill, had to take a year off from the show after being diagnosed with stage three breast cancer last May. She was given the all-clear in February.

She said: "I never truly felt really like me since my cancer journey, until I was back on Strictly and working with my lovely JB.

"That's what I found hardest going into the dance-off - I'm not ready to have this taken away from me.
