Overview

• Dowden and Apprentice alum Thomas Skinner were the first pair eliminated after losing the week‑two dance‑off to Chris Robshaw and Nadiya Bychkova, with three judges voting to save Robshaw.
• Speaking at the Women of the Year Awards, she said she felt gutted to finish last and feared she had let fellow cancer survivors down.
• The 35‑year‑old, diagnosed with stage‑three breast cancer in 2023 and later given the all‑clear, said she entered this series to show life after cancer.
• She described having lost confidence as a dancer after treatment but thanked Skinner for helping restore her joy in performing.
• Days after the exit, she returned to the live show as a guest and posted an Instagram selfie from the ballroom captioned “And we dance,” hinting at ongoing involvement.
