BBC Strictly fans call for Amy Dowden to land new role in Christmas show return

Amy Dowden rushed to hospital with blood clot on lung

Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has shared a picture of herself on the set for the BBC series’ Christmas special. The festive snap has left some fans speculating about whether the star might be ready to take on a whole new role.

The professional dancer has been forced to sit out this year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing after being diagnosed with breast cancer back in May.

However, the 33-year-old star seems to be set to make an appearance on BBC One’s Christmas special this year, as she shared a sweet snap of herself on set.

The picture posted to Instagram showed Amy in a festive white and gold Christmas jumper sitting behind one of the judging panel tables.

The star, who wore a decorative golden headband on top of her blonde wig, could be seen smiling and holding up a score of 10.

The Welsh dancer’s fans were quick to take to the comments section to send her messages of support, with some suggesting that she deserved to take on a brand new gig within the show.

“You should be a judge on the Xmas special!” Becka suggested, while Paula agreed: “Fifth judge for the final [clapping emoji].”

“Awww when can you start dancing again? You would be a great judge,” Shelly wrote, as Rebecca added: “Awww hope you get to be a judge.” (sic)

“Such a shame you couldn’t dance for the Christmas special like you wanted to,” Becca added sympathetically, “Sending all my love.”

Susanne commented: “You look amazing. So happy you were at the Christmas Special. It is really lovely to see you on TV.”

“Been watching Strictly from day one and your smile and laugh made me my favourite dancer,” Stephen wrote. “So glad to see you back on the show. Stay strong.”

Last week, Amy spoke of her “nightmare” dash to hospital, as doctors fear a blood clot on her lung had moved towards her heart.

Thankfully, she confirmed that she is alright, but admitted that her health woes “just seem to be never-ending” after finishing up chemotherapy over three weeks ago.

Strictly Come Dancing returns this Satuday at 7.35pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
