Strictly Come Dancing favourite Amy Dowden was devastatingly forced to quit this year's competition early - after a turbulent year with her health following her cancer diagnosis

Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden is to return to the show for its live tour. It comes after the 34-year-old, who made a return to the show this year after undergoing treatment for breast cancer, withdrew from the competition in November following an injury.

Amy Dowden will take part in Strictly Come Dancing's live tour after recovering from an injury. The 34-year-old from Caerphilly in South Wales was initially partnered with JLS singer JB Gill on this year's series. But the professional dancer was forced to withdraw from the competition after week six due to a foot injury.

Tickets for the glitter-filled live show, which start at £41.45, are now on sale, and will see the judges - Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke, Shirley Ballas and Craig Revel Horwood - return as well as former professional dancer Janette Manrara who will host, the same as previous years.

Amy Dowden will make her Strictly Come Dancing return on the Live UK Tour 2025 after a foot injury forced her out of the 2024 edition of the BBC series.
