Amy Dowden wipes tears at Pride of Britain Awards 2023<\/h3>\n

Amy Dowden was emotional at the Pride of Britain Awards as she watched a young schoolgirl being awarded the first accolade of the night.<\/p>\n

The Strictly Come Dancing star has had to miss this year’s series as she is receiving treatment for cancer.<\/p>\n

However, she joined hundreds of stars at the annual Pride of Britain Awards to witness unsung heroes being acknowledged for their bravery.<\/p>\n

The first award of the night went to eight-year-old Freya Harris and her dog Echo.<\/p>\n

The youngster achieved the Child of Courage Award after she was diagnosed with a\u00a0rare form of kidney cancer in 2021.<\/p>\n

It was after her diagnosis that Freya\u2019s parents decided to get their daughter an Australian Shepherd puppy as a way of encouraging her to go for walks after spending time in hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

Exceeding all expectations, Freya didn\u2019t just go for walks with Echo, she also took up the hobby of dog showing, following a dream she\u2019d had since watching Crufts on TV with former dog walker mum Gemma.<\/p>\n

The determined young girl not only competed at world-famous dog show earlier this year, but wowed the judges and came in second place in her category.<\/p>\n

While watching the well-deserved award being handed to Freya, Amy could be seen applauding the young girl while wiping tears away.<\/p>\n

The Welsh dancer made another live appearance earlier this week as she chatted to Janette Manrara on Wednesday’s It Takes Two.<\/p>\n

She updated viewers on her journey as she explained: “So I’ve got chemotherapy again tomorrow, session six so I’m over halfway – I can see the finish line.<\/p>\n

“But I’m not going to lie, it is tough. But you know, I’m staying strong and positive.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I just want to raise as much awareness as I possibly can and get everybody to check their chests!”<\/p>\n

“Yes, and you are doing such a brilliant job at that,” Janette stated.<\/p>\n

She went on: “What does it mean to you to have the Strictly family’s support? Because everyone is just so here for you, you know?”<\/p>\n

“Everyone’s been amazing, everybody,” Amy answered. “From the dancers, hair and make-up, wardrobe, every department.”<\/p>\n

The Pride of Britain Awards is available to watch on ITV1 and ITVX.<\/strong><\/p>\n
