The holiday comes a year after Amy was given the all clear from doctors after a harrowing battle with breast cancer, which began in 2023.
Just a day before her dream honeymoon in April that year, the dancer felt a lump in her right breast while showering.
After returning home, Amy went to the GP for a series of tests and was given the devastating news that she had grade 3 breast cancer. The Strictly Come Dancing favourite underwent chemotherapy and a mastectomy, leading her to step back from her role on the BBC dance show.

However, her luck took a turn for the better when she was given the all-clear in February 2024. Sharing the news to social media at the time, Amy shared a snap of herself beaming with joy with her arms in the air and said: “NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE! Words I dreamed of! My biggest accomplishment yet! I won’t be getting the all-clear for 5 years especially with a hormone fed cancer. But it was all worth it. Words I never thought I’d hear at one point.
“So grateful for all the care I received and continue to have. To my husband, family and friends who supported me unconditionally and to you guys! Thank you! I will still need a monthly injection for 5 years and regular check ups. Chemo and this past year has certainly took its toll on my body both physically and mentally, so I’ll be taking the next few months to heal and recover.”Amy continued: “I have so much to strive and live for, and so grateful for another chance at life! Something I know not all get. I certainly see life differently and my life has changed forever! Cancer affects too many so I will continue to do all I can to raise awareness and make sure I get as many as I can to #checkthemselves.”It’s time to look ahead after what’s been the toughest year, and one I certainly didn’t expect!”
