Strictly Come Dancing's Amy Dowden is heartbroken to be leaving this year's competition due to a foot injury.The Welsh professional dancer, who had been impressing the judges with celeb partner JB Gill, expressed: "I'm so sad, so upset and asking why me, why now that our journey has been cut short." This is another blow for the gifted 34 year old, who was diagnosed with aggressive grade 3 breast cancer in May last year.

Amy is wedded to fellow dancer Ben Jones and before her shocking diagnosis, the pair had plans to expand their home before starting a family as they both have a strong desire to become parents.

However, Amy and Ben's dreams of parenthood were put on hold to focus on her health. The couple met in their early 20s and the dancer expressed she "definitely" wanted to become a mum. "We run a dance school with lots of little girls and boys," the star told the Mirror. "I'm a dancing mum already." Amy underwent a single mastectomy following her diagnosis and revealed in her BBC documentary Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me that her chemotherapy treatment induced menopause, which could affect her chances of becoming a mum. "I had a hormone-fed cancer, so they needed to put me into menopause because my hormones were feeding the cancer," she explained. "My whole body was feeding cancer.

But also because I was having chemotherapy and as amazing as chemotherapy is, it destroys a lot of cells in your body. Your eggs, your ovaries, everything can be damaged and not necessarily reboot again." The star revealed that her doctors had made a promise to her and Ben regarding their wish to start a family, stating: "They have promised me.There are no guarantees but they will give it their best shot."
