Amy Dowden has been flooded with support from her fans and Strictly co-stars and fans after posting an emotional video of the moment she shaved her head during her breast cancer battle.
The dancer, 33, received a deluge of positive messages after posting the emotional clip after losing much of her hair due to chemotherapy.
Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer in May and began chemotherapy after doctors discovered another type of cancer in her body, meaning she was unable to be paired with a celebrity for the new series.
In the caption, she said: "Taking control- The hardest step so far. I tried my best to save it. I know it's only hair but these past few months I've had what feels like so much taken away from me that has made me not feel like Amy.
