Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden has been keeping fans entertained as she takes to the airwaves on BBC Radio Wales, and the Welsh star issued a message to fans
Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has been dazzling fans not just with her dance moves but also with her radio presenting skills on BBC Radio Wales. The Welsh dancing queen stepped in for Wynne Evans, hosting his daytime show while he takes a break.
Over the moon with her latest venture, Amy shared her joy on Instagram, posting a picture from behind the Cardiff station’s desk and writing: “Loved covering the lovely @wynneevans radio show today. I’m back covering again tomorrow morning 9am-12! Get in touch, have loved hearing from you all this morning.” Her followers were quick to send their love and support, with comments like: “Was lovely to listen this morning – can’t wait for tomorrow morning too,” and “You did SO good! loved listening to you.”
Another fan added: “Love you Amy! Happy New Year you beautiful queen.” One thrilled caller even mentioned how starstruck they were: “I absolutely loved talking to you even if I was very star struck.”
Others are eagerly awaiting more of Amy’s voice on the airwaves, saying: “Yay- always look forward to hearing more Amy on the radio.” This isn’t Amy’s first time at the mic; she’s previously hosted on BBC Radio Wales, led her own BBC Wales dance series, Amy Dowden’s Dare To Dance, and regularly appears on ITV1’s Lorraine, reports the Mirror.
In 2024, following her breast cancer treatment, Amy briefly returned to Strictly Come Dancing before her journey was cut short by a foot injury. The dancing pro spoke of her desire to have a child after preserving embryos prior to her cancer treatment due to experiencing early menopause as a side effect of her chemotherapy.
Speaking on the What If podcast Amy revealed she and her husband Ben would love a family. She said: “I’m just saying yes to as many opportunities and living life to the full, spending time with loved ones as well and obviously, we would love a family. And we’ve got embryos because obviously I’ve got a hormone fed cancer, so I had to go to menopause, which happened the day I started chemo.
“So in a couple of years, when they feel it’s safe to, hopefully we’ll have the opportunity. And if not, there’s still lots of other opportunities, which we have spoken about.”
