Amy Dowden Temporarily Replaced on Strictly Due to Health

Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden was hospitalized following a collapse during a live show, attributed to her ongoing health challenges, including Crohn's Disease and a recent battle with breast cancer. Dowden, who has returned to the show after a period of remission, was performing with her partner JB Gill when the incident occurred, leading to concerns about her ability to continue in the competition. Lauren Oakley, a fellow professional dancer, will temporarily replace her for rehearsals and performances. Despite the health scare, Dowden is reported to be recovering well and hopes to return to the show soon. The incident has raised concerns among insiders about her future participation, but her mother and representatives have reassured fans of her improving condition.
