Amy Dowden on being hours from death, avoiding bitterness and the healing power of Strictly
In this episode I’m joined by Strictly Come Dancing legend, TV presenter and candidate for Britain’s most resilient woman Amy Dowden.
Amy’s huge success is all the more remarkable as it has been achieved whilst battling Crohn’s Disease which she has been living with since the age of 11.
Last year Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer. When she developed sepsis towards the end of her chemotherapy, her family were told she only had hours to live.
But throughout all this continual crisis, Amy has remained positive, focusing on the future and determined to share her astonishing story - just as she does in this episode - in the hope that it will help others.
Amy is the most brilliant example of someone who, in crisis, has focused on the things they can control whilst putting their positivity to work.
