Strictly Come Dancing's Amy Dowden has courageously discussed her cancer recovery process and her expected return to dancing on BBC Breakfast this morning (August 24).Welsh dance pro Amy joined Charlie Stayt and Rachel Burden on the show to talk about her new documentary, Strictly Amy: Cancer And Me, scheduled for release on Monday, August 26.After seeing the "impact" of her previous Crohn's disease documentary, Amy was inspired to produce this intimate new project.

On the programme, she revealed her experiences, stating, "I saw firsthand the rewards from that and I guess had I not done my Crohn's documentary, I don't think I ever would have done this one, I wouldn't have had the confidence." She also added, "I guess I was trying to turn such a negative, difficult period of my life into some sort of positive and thinking, well, if I can raise awareness that checking yourself and early detection can save lives, it's so important, and if 10 people watch my documentary start checking themselves, I might save one life."BBC's Rachel Burden expressed how the documentary immediately impacted her, saying, "Well it'll be more than that, because straight away as I was watching it, I was checking myself immediately, it's almost an instinctive reaction, isn't it?".Despite the outpouring of support and feeling connected to an "online community" of women sharing her struggle, Amy acknowledged the journeys hardships.Charlie Stayt condemned the "disgusting" online abuse aimed at Amy, prompting her sincere reflections in her documentary.

She firmly stated: "It's not OK and there's no textbook on how to deal with any diagnosis, it doesn't have to be cancer or life in general.""You've got to do what's right for you.

Aaron Sorkin calls Biden dropping out of presidential race a ‘West Wing’ moment as cast visits White House
With President Joe Biden away from the White House, it was left Friday to another man with Oval Office experience to stand at the front of the Rose Garden and give a rousing call to service.Martin Sheen and others from the cast of “The West Wing,” the hit drama about a liberal president and his staff, were invited by first lady Jill Biden for an event to mark the 25th anniversary of the show.Sheen exhorted the crowd to find something worth fighting for, “something deeply personal and uncompromising, something that can unite the will of the spirit with the work of the flesh.”His voice and hands rose, his cadence matching perfectly that of President Jed Bartlet, the character Sheen played for seven seasons.“When we find that, we will discover fire for the second time, and then we will be able to help lift up this nation and all its people to that place where the heart is without fear, and their head is held high,” Sheen said.“The West Wing” remains a favorite of many who now work in Washington, both liberal and conservative. Among those spotted in the Rose Garden were House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and Joe Walsh, once a tea party-aligned Illinois congressman who is now a sharp critic of former President Donald Trump and supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.Asked to name his favorite character, Walsh replied, “I’m partial to Martin Sheen because I want to be president one day.” (Walsh ran and lost a longshot Republican primary challenge to Trump in 2020.)It was clear in the speeches and the party’s touches that at least a few “West Wing” fans work in the White House.There was the US Marine Band playing the opening notes to the show’s theme as Biden and the cast walked out.
