Spoiler warning: This story contains details of the winner(s) of Celebrity Hunted<\/p>\n
Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden has said winning Celebrity Hunted has helped her believe she can “achieve anything” following her battle with cancer.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
It also marked a reunion for Dowden and Brian Conley<\/a>, who were paired together on the BBC One dance programme in 2017.<\/p>\n The nail-biting finale saw the two pairs jumping on an extraction plane from a beach in north Wales, narrowly escaping the hunters.<\/p>\n Dowden was just 32 when she was diagnosed with grade three breast cancer in May 2023<\/a>, after finding a lump in her breast the day before her honeymoon.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n “We got on to that plane, I was just like, ‘celebrate!’ I grabbed the champagne!”<\/p>\n
