Amy Dowden supported by Strictly co-stars as she urges followers to ‘be kind’

Amy shared a statement following last weekend's backlash

Strictly star Amy Dowden was supported by her co-stars after she shared a statement urging her fans to “be kind”.

The Welsh dancer, who has been vocal about her cancer journey, returned to Strictly this year after her health forced her to pull out halfway through the competition in 2024.

For the 2025 series, Amy has been paired with former Apprentice star Thomas Skinner. Following their first performance together last weekend (September 27), Thomas faced backlash, with viewers declaring they wanted him to be the first voted out.
