Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden will not be returning to the show this series, it has been announced. The Welsh dancer, 34, who is understood to be in remission from breast cancer and has Crohn's disease, was forced to pull out of last weekend's show after collapsing backstage. Fellow professional Lauren Oakley was drafted in as her replacement to perform with JLS star JB Gill for Saturday's night's show. It was confirmed on Monday's episode of It Takes Two that Amy will not return for the rest of the series, as she recovers from a 'foot injury'. A Strictly Come Dancing spokesperson said: 'Sadly, Amy Dowden MBE will not be partaking in the rest of the competition this year. 'Whilst Amy focuses on her recovery following a foot injury, fellow Professional Dancer, Lauren Oakley, will step in as JB's dance partner. 'The health and wellbeing of everyone involved in Strictly are always the utmost priority. The whole Strictly family sends Amy love and well wishes.' #amydowden #strictly #strictlycomedancing #jbgill #jls #bbc #news
