- In new Instagram posts, the Strictly Come Dancing professional says her energy and movement are returning and she feels more like herself.

- Dowden says her dressings have been removed, bruising has eased, and she will continue recovery and physio before returning to the dance floor.
- She remains off Strictly for now but is eager to watch the Blackpool special and has reunited with colleague Carlos Gu during a visit.
- The Welsh dancer previously had a mastectomy and chemotherapy after a 2023 diagnosis, was told in February 2024 there was no evidence of disease, and continues hormone-related care.
