Amy Dowden Mourns the Loss of Close Friend Bex After Sudden Death from Brain Blood Clot
Amy Dowden, the professional dancer from Strictly Come Dancing, has shared her heartbreak over the sudden death of her close friend, Bex. The 35-year-old dancer announced the tragic news on Instagram, revealing that Bex passed away from a blood clot on the brain, just one day after giving birth to her baby boy.
In an emotional post, Amy expressed her shock and disbelief, stating, “I still can’t quite find the words or make sense of it. How something like this can happen to someone so fit, so healthy, so kind… a truly good soul.” Amy fondly remembered the kindness and selflessness that defined Bex, describing her as someone who always put others before herself.
The two friends shared many special memories, including giggly sleepovers, and Amy reflected on Bex’s unwavering support throughout her own struggles. Amy spoke about how Bex calmed her nerves during Strictly rehearsals and drove long distances to support her during chemotherapy for breast cancer. “So many memories I’ll hold close,” Amy wrote, reminiscing about their times together and how Bex was always there to lend a helping hand.
Bex had just given birth to her baby boy, completing her family with her partner, Sean, and their daughter. Despite her passing, Amy vowed to continue supporting Bex’s family, promising to look out for Bex’s parents, partner, and children.
Amy, who has bravely battled breast cancer in recent years, returned to Strictly last year after undergoing two mastectomies. As she mourns the loss of her dear friend, Amy finds solace in the love and support she shared with Bex, and in the promise to honor her memory by staying close to her family.
Amy’s heartfelt tribute to her friend is a testament to the lasting impact Bex had on her life and the lives of those around her.
