Amy Dowden is still making sure to live life to the fullest with her grade III breast cancer diagnosis, with the popular dancer enjoying a date with her husband Ben Jones.
The 33-year-old shared a trio of photos of herself enjoying a meal with her beloved, with the professional dancer enjoying a green smoothie at the Pig & Pickle near Dudley. Amy shared a stunning snap of the pair together, both smiling together, before uploading a solo shot of herself grinning from ear to ear and one of Ben who smouldered as he gazed out of the window.
Amy looked simply stunning in a pretty floral dress and a golden wristwatch. She wore a stunning natural wig that mirrored her hair colour, adding a black hairband in to keep her locks under control. Ben, meanwhile, rocked a green jacket and white shirt alongside a digital wristwatch.
In an uplifting caption, Amy said: "When you're having a good day so your husband treats you to brunch #itsthelittlethings #havingagoodday #chemo #newwig," and fans were quick to share their love.

A third added: "That's so cute!! I hope you both have a great time together," while a fourth commented: "Following your story and in awe of your bravery and positivity, Amy. Sending love and healing vibes," and a fifth wrote: "A gorgeous couple, glad you’re feeling good today @amy_dowden you look beautiful as always."

I hadn't thought it was possible to get breast cancer at my age. My mum has had breast cancer, but she had it at a later age, in her 50s."
She continued: "I was in the shower and I felt this hard lump in my right breast. I was in shock; I checked again. I thought: 'Right, it could just be period-related, or so many things. I decided I was going to keep an eye on it for a few weeks. On holiday, putting body lotion on every day, I was noticing it.

The star has been undergoing chemotherapy, but she made her triumphant return to Strictly Come Dancing two weeks ago, on the show's annual Movie Week.

Bringing glitz and glamour to the ballroom, the 33-year-old stepped out in a bright white sequin dress for her return.
The TV star – who has spoken openly about her journey with cancer – also displayed her newly shaved head, and she couldn't have looked more radiant. Asked how she was doing, Amy replied: "I'm doing really well. I'm over halfway through treatment for chemo and I can't wait to be back with you all permanently!"
