Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has made a surprise appearance on the show – and revealed she is now over halfway through her cancer treatment.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old professional dancer announced in June she had undergone a mastectomy<\/strong> after discovering she had stage three breast cancer<\/strong> – and was unable to have a celebrity partner this year.<\/p>\n

During Saturday night’s programme, Claudia Winkleman had revealed that “a very special member of our Strictly family” was appearing to read the terms and conditions.<\/p>\n

“We have missed her so much and are delighted that she is well enough to be back with us tonight, please welcome the one and only Amy Dowden,” the presenter said.<\/p>\n

Dowden then delighted audiences in the studio and at home when she entered from behind a golden fringe wall – sporting a shaved head and a white glittery dress.<\/p>\n

The cast were cheering “Amy” following her surprise appearance – and Dowden replied “I’ve missed you all”.<\/p>\n

She added: “I’m doing really well, I’m over halfway through treatment, through chemo, and I can’t wait to be back with you all permanently.”<\/p>\n

Co-presenter Tess Daly said: “So lovely to see you Amy, we love you to bits.”<\/p>\n

Dowden revealed in August that she had contracted sepsis<\/strong> after her first round of chemotherapy.<\/p>\n
