“Amy Dowden MBE is doing much better and the Strictly family send her love and wish her well,” a Strictly Come Dancing representative stated.
The fact that Lauren Oakley, another professional dancer, can fill in for rehearsals and perform in Saturday’s show for JB Gill’s couple’s choice dance makes her very happy. We all hope Amy will return to dance with JB the following week.
