Amy Dowden has reconnected with her Strictly Come Dancing co-star Sara Davies following breast cancer surgery.
The 32-year-old Strictly professional is recovering from surgery as she battles grade three breast cancer, and the 39-year-old entrepreneur has been assisting her after she underwent a complete mastectomy.
Taking to Instagram, she appeared on camera with Sara and explained that her companion was going to assist her with a new injection she required.
She said: ‘I’ve gotta give myself a new injection today, and this one’s very different. I’ve got a pen at the moment but this one is like a syringe, isn’t it?
‘And I’ve not done it on my own before so guess who’s going to do it with me? You don’t mind, do you? Also, what did I show you last night?’
‘I got to see the new boob,’ Sara beamed, adding that it was a ‘nice boob’.


‘Do you know what she said? “You should get the other one done,” ‘ Amy laughed, as her friend giggled: ‘I just said, that is one good looking boob! Marvellous job! Fantastic!’
Amy added: ‘Other than the nipple, you wouldn’t really know, would you?’
The couple met when Sara, a former Dragons’ Den star, participated on the 19th series of the BBC’s Latin and ballroom show in 2021, and then reappeared on camera after the dancer received the injection.


‘No crying! I was expecting her to scream at us, I was expecting her to hit us, none of that,’ Sara quipped, while Amy then posted another video explaining that she ‘had no choice’ about undergoing a full mastectomy, noting she had ‘more than one tumour’.
She assumed she’d require a ‘expander’ rather than an implant, but physicians were able to ‘place the implant in’.
‘For me, it’s a better option because not more surgery etc. I woke up and they’d managed to put the implant in. So I have had reconstruction,’ she explained. ‘I believe later on you can have the nipple tattooed – not sure if I’m gonna do that yet.’

Meanwhile, she uploaded an Instagram snap of the duo grinning together and claimed they are working on something big, adding that it is ‘exactly what she needs’.
She wrote alongside the selfie: ‘With my super lovely @saradaviescc 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 working on something super fun! EXACTLY what I needed! #havemissedher #friends #dragonandawelshdragon #recoveringwiththebest (sic)’
The 32-year-old professional ballroom dancer revealed her diagnosis in May after discovering a lump in her breast before leaving on vacation.
She was getting ready to leave on her honeymoon with her new husband Ben Jones, who is also a professional dancer, when she felt something was amiss and went to the doctor in April.
‘If I only have radiotherapy I’ll be back on Strictly this season,’ she recently told The Mirror. ‘Once radiotherapy is done there’ll be nothing to stop me, there’s no pressure but Strictly is leaving the door open. It’s having something to work towards.’
