Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden has announced the exciting news that she will be releasing a paperback edition of her book, Dancing in the Rain.
Strictly Come Dancing's Amy Dowden has been overwhelmed with heartfelt messages from fans after unveiling the cover of her upcoming book.
The 34-year-old Welsh dancer was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 but has since received the all-clear in February 2024.
Following her return to the popular BBC dance show, Amy has penned a memoir titled Dancing in the Rain, recounting her poignant journey through cancer diagnosis and treatment, which included chemotherapy and a mastectomy.
Amy recently shared an exciting announcement on social media, writing: "So guys, here it is, the day I've been waiting for...the reveal of the cover to my book, Dancing in the Rain, paperback edition.
"I hope my personal story can be inspirational for anyone facing challenges, big or small and if that is you, that it helps you to find the courage to rise up and meet them."
She also revealed: "PRE-ORDER the paperback edition now using the link in my bio, ready for its release on 28th August. I hope you like the new cover as much as I do."
Fans poured out their support, with many congratulating her on her inspiring achievement. A particularly heartfelt message was shared by a follower who had also been diagnosed with cancer, reports the Express.
They said: "I'm currently battling stage 4 cancer so know what you went through. Will purchase as it might help me."
A second person expressed their gratitude: "Amy, thank you for signing my hardback book when I met you in Liverpool. Good luck on strictly. Lots of love."
Another comment read: "Still the most incredible & inspiring book I have ever read! so proud of you always gorgeous! !" and another fan shared: "Absolutely loved this book. So proud of you, Amy."
Earlier this year, Amy received an MBE for her commendable work in fundraising and increasing awareness about inflammatory bowel disease. Besides battling cancer, Amy has been candid about her persistent struggle with Crohn's disease.
Upon receiving the honour, she reflected: "It's really surreal, it's been like an out-of-body experience but is it true honour to get an MBE and I will forever do what I can to raise awareness and fundraise for Crohn's and colitis, and Crohn's and Colitis UK charity, and also, recently as well for breast cancer - getting as many people as I possibly can to check themselves as earlier detection saves lives. It's an incredible honour, and one that still hasn't sunk in yet."
Marianne Radcliffe, the chief executive of Crohn's and Colitis UK, acknowledged: "People never used to talk about Crohn's or Colitis, but Amy has really helped to normalise conversations about these conditions by being open and honest, and adding some of her trademark sparkle."
