Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has marked the end of her chemotherapy treatment by ringing the chemo bell.

The dancer was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier in the year and has undergone a mastectomy alongside chemotherapy, documenting her journey along the way.

Taking to her Instagram, Amy shared a picture with two other women after ringing the celebratory bell together.

"Today all three of us ring that chemo bell!" she captioned the photo. "32,35 and 26 when all diagnosed with breast cancer so please this is a note from us three to check your chest!

"Cancer doesn’t discriminate! Our wish to you all is the remember to monthly check!"

Earlier in the day, Amy posted a picture with husband Ben ahead of her final round of chemo, writing: "It’s chemo number 8! The last one! We are finally here. I’ve cried all morning!

"Right an afternoon of chemo and then I’m so lucky and grateful to be able to ring that bell! Will never take it for granted! Thank you to the incredible Sheldon Unit! You are all amazing #nhs, all #trueheroes. Right here goes! See you all later".

It comes after the star shared an update a few days ago, confirming to fans that it was her final week of treatment and admitting she had the "biggest smile [she's] had on a Monday since the beginning of August".

"Why? Because I'm entering last week of chemo! This week has felt such a distance for so long. Hospital appointment later, bloods tomorrow and hopefully, if all good with my bloods, it's all go for the last chemo [on]Thursday," Amy added.

The star added that while she currently doesn’t feel comfortable in her own skin, "all that matters is getting [herself] well".
