The star has been actively sharing updates around her health on the platform, and revealed news she would be undergoing a second mastectomy earlier this month.

Her post read: “As you all know I’ve always been very open about my health and the care I receive.

“So I’d like to start by being clear that what I am about to share is not to treat a new cancer diagnosis.

“However, following a recent appointment with my incredible medical team, we’ve decided that I’ll be having another mastectomy this week.

“They’re confident that, all going well, I can expect a straightforward recovery.

“Once I have healed I look forward to rejoining my Strictly family.”

Amy added: “Of course I’m going to miss not being there so much but I will be watching from home and look forward to cheering everyone on. Thank you always for all the support.”

The star later thanked fans for their support following her announcement, and said she remained hopeful to return to Strictly in 2026.
