Spoiler warning: This story contains details of the winner(s) of Celebrity Hunted
Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has said winning Celebrity Hunted has helped her believe she can “achieve anything” following her battle with cancer.
The 36-year-old professional dancer won the latest series of the Channel 4 challenge show alongside Strictly’s Carlos Gu, claiming a joint victory with actor Brian Conley and his daughter, comedian Lucy Conley.
The programme sees celebrities go on the run while an elite team of hunters tries to track them down, in aid of Stand Up To Cancer.
The joint victory marked the first time in the show’s history that two pairs have managed to stay on the run without being caught.
It also marked a reunion for Dowden and Brian Conley, who were paired together on the BBC One dance programme in 2017.
The nail-biting finale saw the two pairs jumping on an extraction plane from a beach in north Wales, narrowly escaping the hunters.
Dowden was just 32 when she was diagnosed with grade three breast cancer in May 2023, after finding a lump in her breast the day before her honeymoon.
She said: “Cancer took a lot away from me in the last two years but I truly feel I’ve got my confidence back and this has given me the belief I can go on to achieve anything.
“We got on to that plane, I was just like, ‘celebrate!’ I grabbed the champagne!”
The Welsh dancer made a return to the ballroom floor in 2025, and has been candid about her experiences of the disease, including having a mastectomy, chemotherapy and fertility treatment.
She was put into an early menopause as a result of the treatment, which she opened up about in her BBC documentary Strictly Amy: Cancer And Me.
