Amy Dowden breaks down after trolls send abuse to her in hospital bed

Amy Dowden broke down in tears after trolls sent her abusive messages about her cancer diagnosis while she was in a hospital bed.

In the new BBC documentary Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me, the dancer shows a nurse the negative comments she received after choosing to share her diagnosis publicly.

One of the messages accused Dowden of being a “narcissist” after sharing a video of her dancing.

“I would have done anything in the world not to be dancing in my friend’s garden about to shave my head,” she recalled.
