So Now I’ve Got Breast Cancer

Special Guest: Strictly’s Amy Dowden


Listen Later

I'm really excited to tell you that we're starting season 2 with a bit of sparkle. Amy Dowden is one of the highest ranked ballroom and Latin American dancers in the county, and star of Saturday Night blockbuster TV show Strictly Come Dancing.  And like many of you, I was so  angry and sad  when she told us that she had breast cancer in May last year at the age of 32. She’s bravely shared each step of her journey, and  I’m thrilled that Amy has joined me to talk about her diagnosis, dealing with breast cancer in public, and of course, her  dancing.

Amy’s new series of Dare to Dance will be available on BBC iPlayer from 10th March.
