Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has been told 'sorry' as she shared an upbeat post after 'taking control' during the 'hardest step' of her cancer journey so far.

Last week the dancer, who has been one of the pros on the BBC One dance contest since 2017, shared an emotional video of her loved ones helping her shave her head as she revealed she had crossed the halfway point in her chemotherapy treatment.

She said that it was "hardest step so far" as she explained that she tried to save her hair as she felt like "so much" had been taken away from her following her stage three breast cancer diagnosis that made her feel like herself.

"It’s going to take some time to get use to and learn to love and embrace but, I’m now focusing not on the hair I’m losing but the hair I’m going to get back and the happy dancing, tea lover who talks way to fast whilst rolling every rrrrr who is still there inside with or without hair!" Amy has now shared another video from the day she shaved her hair as she roped her family into a bit of a dance challenge.

The group could be seen in the garden with Amy dancing away at the front. She could be seen with short hair before she covered the camera and returned with her head shaven as she continued to dance with her loved ones' backing. "When @diannebuswell sends you reel ideas!" Amy started the caption of her post.
