Earlier this year the BBC star shared the shock news that she was diagnosed with an aggressive grade of breast cancer after finding a lump the day before her honeymoon.
Within moments of being given the devastating test results, fiercely brave Amy asked the doctor: "How long until I’m back on the dance floor?"
Revealing her health battle on Instagram, she wrote: "Hey all, I've got some news which isn't easy to share.
"I've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, but I'm determined to get back on that dance floor before you know it.
"Welsh love Amy x."
Speaking following Amy's cancer diagnosis, the BBC said in a statement: "Amy is an exceptional person, both on and off the dance floor, and is adored by her entire Strictly Come Dancing family.
"Everyone on the show is sending Amy all our love and she knows that we are all here to support her, whenever she needs us."
