Amy Dowden's biography

At a glance

  • Professional Dancer on Strictly Come Dancing
  • Advocate for Crohn's Disease Awareness
  • First all-British winner of the British National Championships in 30+ years
Amy Dowden, one of the most beloved stars on Britain's biggest TV show, Strictly Come Dancing, has captivated audiences around the world with her performances. However, amidst the glitz and glamour of the ballroom, Amy often finds herself grappling with the challenges of her chronic illness, Crohn's Disease. Amy has been plagued by symptoms since the tender age of 11, enduring excruciating pain that has frequently led to hospitalization. Yet, instead of allowing her illness to deter her, Amy has transformed her struggle into a wellspring of motivation, vowing to never let it impede her pursuit of success. Within a few short years of her diagnosis, Amy and her dance partner made history as the first all-British couple to win the British National Championships in over three decades – and that's just one of the many remarkable feats she has accomplished. Amy's extraordinary tale of resilience continues to inspire both businesses and individuals to overcome adversity and unlock their full potential. If you are seeking to inspire and motivate your team to reach new heights, allow Amy to lead the way with an unparalleled PepTalk experience.
