Strictly's Amy Dowden shares exciting wedding update after postponing nuptials in 2020

Amy Dowden has given fans an update on her wedding, teasing that she is now just a couple of months away from tying the knot to her fiancé Benjamin Jones.

The dancer, 31, - who has appeared as a pro on Strictly Come Dancing since 2017 - had been due to get married in July 2020, but it was postponed due to Covid restrictions.

She teased in recent months that her nuptials are now scheduled for later this year, as she tried on wedding dresses at the start of the year.

And in a Q&A with fans on Instagram yesterday, the professional dancer provided further details about her plans, revealing when she's getting married.

She invited her 316,000 followers on the social media platform to ask her questions yesterday ahead of a "long train ride".

This included a few about her wedding to fiancé Ben - her dance partner, whom she has been engaged to since 2017 - with her opening up about the coming months.

Asked when the couple - who run the Art in Motion dance school in Dudley - are getting married, Amy responded: "Beginning of July." She however didn't give the date itself.

Amy recently opened up about having postponed her wedding in a post on Instagram yesterday, in which she had asked her followers: "Who else is getting married this year?"

She said: "Although I was supposed to get married in 2020 and everything with organising and ready. Now it's creeping up on me and I feel totally unorganised and panicking."

The dancer however said she has "not turned into bridezilla yet though" and concluded: "I'm super excited but getting so nervous I've forgotten to do/plan/organise something."
