Strictly news: Amy’s cancer journey

Amy and Ben tied the knot in the summer of 2022, heading off on honeymoon in April 2023. However, just before flying out to the Maldives, Amy discovered a lump in her breast. She got it checked out when she returned and, in May last year, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Now, speaking to The Mirror, Amy revealed that her whole honeymoon was “overshadowed” by the lump she had discovered. And, even though she was yet to get it checked, Amy said she “just knew” that it was cancer.

Honestly, there were moments when I was thinking is this going to be my last holiday ever?
