AMY DOWDEN IS OUT
Amy Dowden, the Welsh dancer from Strictly Come Dancing, has been forced to pull out of the rest of the competition.

She had hoped to return to Strictly as part of her recovery, but her foot injury has put an end to that.

Amy is gutted, but hopes to appear in a professionals group dance later in the series.

Lauren is getting a very kind and patient partner.
