Amy Dowden shares sweet way husband Ben supports her through cancer treatment
Amy Dowden has opened up about the sweet way her husband Ben Jones has been supporting her through her cancer treatment.
The Strictly Come Dancing star, 33, was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year while living with Crohn's Disease. She underwent a mastectomy a month after her diagnosis but was later told she would need to undergo chemotherapy after doctors had found cancer elsewhere in her body.
She was recently rushed to the hospital after developing an infection and going into septic shock, following a round of chemotherapy. And now, the star shared a glimpse into her journey and opened up about the ways her husband has been looking after her.

Amy and Ben have been together since 2011Speaking about his endless support, Amy told Women's Health: "He's been through so much with me with my Crohn's but I guess, like, nothing will ever break us now. If I mention something once, he'll buy it, or if it's a food I want, he's cooking it."
Amy and Ben's love story began in 2011, with the two later making history in 2016 when they became the first all-British pair to win the British National Latin Dance Championship. The following year, Ben popped the question on New Year's Eve, and Amy happily accepted. In July 2022, the two professional dancers tied the knot at the luxurious wedding venue Oldwalls, in Wales.

When they got married, Amy spoke Hello! magazine about her nuptials, with the Caerphilly-born star saying: "I always knew I wanted to get married in Wales. It was a day I'd dreamt of since I was a little girl and, well, it was even more than that. Everything was perfect – from the flowers to the food to partying all night long."
The happy-in-love couple have had to deal with some extremely difficult times together in the early stages of their marriage, with Amy receiving her cancer diagnosis before they'd even been married a year. Marking their one-year anniversary in July, Amy took to Instagram with a series of beautiful wedding snaps.
She wrote: "One year since our special day with our favourite people. What I would do right now to re-live this perfect day. Not the anniversary or year we certainly had planned but I am sure and determined to have many more better ones with you! Thank you for being by my side, spoiling me, being Mr positive when I'm not, and choosing to love me! Love you always."
