Strictly Come Dancing’s Amy Dowden Rushed to Hospital After Live Show Incident
In a shocking turn of events, Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden was taken to the hospital after an ambulance was called to the BBC studios just minutes after the live show concluded on October 26. The dancer had recently made her return to the ballroom following a year away due to a breast cancer diagnosis, during which she celebrated her recovery with the announcement of “no evidence of disease” in her body eight months ago. Additionally, Amy has been open about her struggles with Crohn’s disease.
According to sources, an ambulance arrived at Elstree Studios shortly after 9 PM to address what was termed a medical emergency. Reports indicate that Amy had collapsed backstage following her performance of the foxtrot to Toploader’s “Dancing In The Moonlight,” alongside her celebrity partner JB Gill from JLS. While the BBC did not confirm Amy’s participation in the results show filmed after the live event, it has been reported that JB appeared without her.
Following the incident, Amy’s representative released a statement detailing the situation. “Amy was feeling unwell and an ambulance was called as a precaution. She is feeling much better and wishes to express gratitude to the Strictly family for their support and concern. We kindly ask for privacy regarding her health matters.”
