BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Amy Dowden confesses 'I cried' before starting countdown for huge move

Amy Dowden has told fans she 'cried' as her latest stint performing alongside her fellow Strictly Come Dancing stars came to an end.

The professional dancer has recently been travelling around the country as part of the show's hit UK tour. Amy made history on the Strictly Come Dancing Live 2025 tour by performing as part of the tour's first-ever trio alongside JLS star JB Gill and fellow pro dancer Lauren Oakley after both professional dancers performed with the singer during the BBC One contest last year.

But the weeks on the tour quickly passed and Amy marked the end of the tour on Sunday (February 9) with a moving post as she looked back at how far she has come since being diagnosed with cancer and having to take a step back from one of the things she loves most.

Alongside a string of pictures of her performing in arenas up and down the country, including in her series comeback dance in which she took the lead with Aljaz Skorjanec, as well as some snaps with her co-stars taken behind-the-scenes, Amy wrote: "#tourphotodump I’ve always loved the @strictlycomedancinglive arena tour but I didn’t realise how much I needed this tour! "My confidence, stamina, inner belief and dancing heart is beaming right now and is BACK BABY!
