Amy Dowden is to star in a BBC documentary about her cancer fight.
Strictly's Amy Dowden aiming to help others with BBC cancer documentary
The 32-year-old star - who is best known as a professional dancer on 'Strictly Come Dancing' - was diagnosed with breast cancer in May and has been keeping her half a million followers up to date with her journey on social media, but she wants to "do more" to raise awareness.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Amy’s breast cancer fight has inspired millions of 'Strictly' fans already, but she wants to do more. She’s been sharing every stage online to try to remind everyone to check their breasts and the film will take it one step further.
"The result will be a raw but sensitive film as Amy fights back to fitness - and her beloved dance."
Amy recently underwent a mastectomy but revealed she will need additional chemo after more tumours were found in her body following her operation.
Sharing pictures of herself in hospital on her Instagram Stories, she wrote: "I hardly slept. Broke down into tears as soon as I got in the room. Port has been a success. Cold cap on. So far coping and not as bad as I thought with cold cap.
"But just wishing this wasn’t happening to me! Nurses here are just incredible. Thank you NHS and I’ve got my fellow pink sister sat by my side and made sure I walked through the door this morning."
However, Amy later admitted she was feeling better, writing: "Got my tea which makes me feel better. Just feeling very emotional today mixed with nerves and fear but like my lovely nurse has said I just need to think of the end goal.
"I’ve always set dreams and goals in life I guess none like this one (always dance related) but I’m going to see it like this."
