Strictly’s Amy Dowden has revealed she didn’t check her own breasts until a cancer fundraiser event, as she made a plea for people to be more breast aware.
The 32-year-old was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, but revealed it was a trek in Pembrokeshire in 2022 with the charity Coppafeel that “saved her life”.
She said: “I was trekking and I met the most incredible people, some whom had been through breast cancer themselves. Hearing their stories made me realise I didn’t check my own breasts. There I am trekking, raising awareness, yet I wasn’t checking myself.”
This led to Amy checking her breasts once a month, as she urged men and women to check their breasts regularly.
