Yahoo News Strictly star Amy Dowden shares hair growth secrets following chemo
Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has shared secrets of her hair regrowth following her chemotherapy treatment.
The dancer was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer last year, undergoing chemo as she was forced to sit out last year's season of the BBC show.
As part of her treatment – which came to an end in late 2023 – Amy shaved off her hair, and has now opened up on Instagram about the process of growing it back.

"So many ask about my hair growth and how it's growing so fast!" she told her followers in her Stories. "Well thanks to @_thegoodnessguide. She got me on the bone broth...
"Going to share a video later of how I make it and you will see in the past few months the difference in my hair growth! Hope this helps. Also look it's come back curly."
Amy is set to return to the Strictly dancefloor later this year, and already has a busy 2025 line-up too as she's just announced a tour with fellow pro Carlos Gu for next March and April.

Amy & Carlos: Reborn will hit stops across the UK, with the pair sharing "an intimate portrait of their lives and journeys, in this inspirational show in which the transformative power of dance shines through".
"Featuring a dazzling cast of world-class dancers and vocalists, the tour will take audiences on an emotional and uplifting journey through powerful and show-stopping routines," the description adds. "Reborn is a testament to the joy of dancing."
Amy is also set to front a new BBC documentary about her cancer journey called Amy Dowden: Fight of My Life, which will give a “raw, deeply personal, and honest” account of her chemotherapy and the support she has received.
Strictly Come Dancing will return later this year on BBC One, while spin-off Strictly: It Takes Two airs on weeknights on BBC Two. Both shows are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
