Full story on Amy Dowden’s backstage ‘collapse’: ‘Huge distress’, fire service mystery and Strictly replacement

The pro dancer was taken ill after Saturday's live show

Strictly Come Dancing favourite Amy Dowden was rushed to hospital on Saturday night (October 26) after falling ill behind the scenes of the BBC dance show.

Over the weekend, Amy and her celebrity partner JB Gill performed a stunning foxtrot to Toploader’s Dancing in the Moonlight. However, after the live show went off air, Amy is said to have suffered a ‘medical emergency’ and an ambulance was called. As a result, she didn’t appear on the pre-recorded Sunday night results show.

The dancer’s rep shared a statement thanking fans for their concern. It also said that Amy was feeling “much better”. However, it’s thought the star has been replaced at rehearsals today (October 28) as a result of Amy’s ill health. And there are also fears among fans that she may be forced to pull out of the rest of the series.
