Strictly’s Amy Dowden ‘under the weather’ days before second live show
Strictly star struck by illness ahead of next live show
- Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden is feeling unwell with a sore throat just days before the next live show.
- During an appearance on 'It Takes Two' with her celebrity partner Thomas Skinner, Dowden's hoarse voice was noted, and Skinner had prepared a special drink for her.
- Despite her illness, Dowden praised Skinner's transformation and growth in confidence following their first dance, a paso doble, which scored 12 points.
- The pair are scheduled to perform a salsa to "Bonkers" by Dizzee Rascal and Armand van Helden in their upcoming routine.
- Dowden has recently faced significant health challenges, including a stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis in 2023, while Skinner's casting has been controversial due to his past political affiliations.
