Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden was flooded with support from friends, fans and loved ones after she marked her first wedding anniversary with her husband Benjamin Jones on Sunday.
The milestone comes as a bittersweet celebration for the Welsh dancer, who last month exclusively revealed to HELLO! that she has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Reflecting on her difficult year, Amy penned in the caption of her anniversary post: "One year since our special day with our favourite people. What I would do right now to re-live this perfect day.
"Not the anniversary or year we certainly had planned but I am sure and determined to have many more better ones with you!
"Thank you for being by my side, spoiling me, being Mr positive when I’m not and choosing to love me! Love you always," she wrote.

Amy's fans rallied around to send supportive messages in the comments section of her post. "Everyone has everything crossed for a speedy recovery," wrote one fan, as another penned: "Happy anniversary, and yes, let’s stay positive."
When was Amy Dowden diagnosed with cancer?
The professional dancer, who joined Strictly back in 2017, discovered a lump in her right breast the day before she and Ben flew to the Maldives for their belated honeymoon in April.
After seeking medical advice, Amy was later diagnosed with grade three breast cancer.

Staying positive, Amy is more determined than ever to make it back into the Strictly ballroom in time for the new series.

Who is Amy Dowden's husband?
Amy's husband Ben is also a professional dancer, and the couple were once British National Latin Dance champions, becoming the first all-British pair to win the competition.

© HELLO!"We are both surrounded by lots of family and friends who are going to be an important support to us in the coming months, we are both staying very positive and remain optimistic moving forward," he shared.
