Amy Dowden has teased her comeback to Strictly Come Dancing as she’s set to replace injured Delta Goodrem.

Singer Delta has been forced to miss this year’s Icons Week after breaking her rib. She has been forced to pull out of the show this week and will get a bye to the following week as per the rules.

It has been confirmed that Amy will dance with Kai. Vogue Williams said on Lorraine today: “It’s good to see her back, but she’s going to be dancing with Kai, and supposedly to Dolly Parton’s Jolene. I mean, that’s going to be so good.”

Now, footage has emerged of Amy – who was first out the competition with Chris Appleton – reacting to the group dance. “I really think this Icon’s Week is going to be phenomenal,” she said as the group prepared to dance to a Madonna number.

Today, Delta shared an update on her own health. Taking to social media, she wrote: “Just wanted to come on here and say a big Thank you to everyone who has sent messages and wrote lovely comments the last couple of days, I see them all.

“Not the start to the week I’d hoped for but your support has meant the world. Also special big thank you to my amazing dance partner @kaiwidd who I will miss dancing with this weekend but I am so beyond grateful for his guidance and friendship through it all.. as well as the wonderful Strictly team!!”

Delta had previously said she was “absolutely gutted” to be out the show for the week, and hoped she’d be back the following week. She told fans: “I’ve been loving every second of this experience, so having to sit this one out is heartbreaking – especially after the high of Saturday night.

“I cannot tell you how much I love being a part of this magical show. I’m going to focus on resting and recovering, and hopefully I’ll be back on that dancefloor very soon. Thank you so much to everyone for all the love and support. It’s so appreciated. I’ll be cheering everyone on from the sidelines this week!”

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes finally ran off and made the thing official.

The former “Good Morning America” anchors tied the knot in a private Arkansas ceremony back in September. The marriage license, obtained by People, confirmed the Washington County nuptials.

Last October, the couple announced their engagement on the “Amy & T.J.” podcast. “We’re actually surprised we’re just now talking about it,” Holmes said. “We wanted to let you all know before anybody was able to. We learned that lesson I guess in the past about our relationship: We want to be the first to talk about it.”

The lesson Holmes is referencing is the couple’s big relationship reveal, which happened while they were both anchors on “GMA3” and married to other people.

In 2022, the paparazzi leaked photos of the two holding hands, nestled into each other at a New York bar, and Holmes patting Robach on the rear. Chaos broke loose in the media and behind the scenes at ABC. Holmes’ then-wife, attorney Marilee Fiebig, filed for divorce shortly thereafter, followed by the divorce of Robach and her second husband, “Melrose Place” actor Andrew Shue, months later.

The same month that news of the scandal broke, ABC parted ways with the anchors, and they deactivated their social media accounts. A year later, the broadcasting duo embraced their coupledom, naysayers be damned, and teamed up with iHeartPodcasts to launch “Amy & T.J.,” marketed as “informative, entertaining, and above all, authentic; it will mark the first time Robach and Holmes speak publicly since their own names became a part of the headlines.”

In the debut episode, Robach and Holmes detailed how the scandal unfolded and insisted they’d been quietly separated from their spouses before their love affair began. Both said that the scandal dominating the headlines and the loss of their dream jobs sent them into the depths of despair.

“But we have had each other through it all,” Robach said. “It has been the most beautiful relationship I have had in my life.”

Finucane will now be putting together the final touches before this week’s World Championships, which are in Shanghai, China, from Wednesday to Sunday and are live on the BBC.

She is part of a 19-strong British team for the first event to count towards qualifying for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Although there has been disruption in the build-up after Finucane’s partner Matt Richardson was withdrawn amid reports he is under investigation for misconduct.

At her fifth World Championships, Finucane will ride in the team sprint, individual sprint and keirin.

The 23-year-old, speaking before Richardson’s departure, says she is desperate to regain the world champion’s rainbow stripes after two disappointing silvers last year.

It says a lot about the high bar she has set that two world silvers can even be seen as “disappointing”, but Finucane has a new outlook on that now.

“It’s something I learned last year actually,” she said. “I came fifth or sixth in the sprint competition and I felt I failed.

“It’s how you pick yourself up from that. I went into the keirin and I got second, which is the best keirin result I’ve ever had, so I was able to turn that around.

“Essentially, Worlds is a stepping stone to get to LA. I spoke to Scott (Pollock, her coach) and he said we either go there to win or we learn. I like that approach.

“I don’t fail. I win or learn something about myself.”

The preparation for the next Olympics has already long begun. Earlier this year Finucane and her teammate Sophie Capewell travelled to Los Angeles to get their first taste of the velodrome.

The World Championships might only be a stepping stone to there, but it is a vital one.

And Finucane wants to end them with the rainbow stripes back on her jersey.

Referencing her daughter, Amy added: “PS Polly the star of the show!”

Amy’s photos saw the reality star sat for cameras solo as well as with Billy.

Another shot saw Polly, nine, who Amy shares with ex Bradley Wright, sat for her own solo pieces to camera.

Amy also shared a selfie, taken after getting glammed up for filming.

She looked chic in a black blazer and matching top, showing off a freshly-styled mane in shades of caramel and hazlenut.

Amy showcased her flawless make-up, with a tanned glow to her complexion, striking black lashes and a slick of rosy gloss across her pout.

She sported a necklace with Billy’s name on it, as well as the names of all her children: Polly and Ritchie from previous relationships and twins Millie and Billy with her now-husband.

The pair had their second ceremony at the end of September, surrounded by 180 guests including Towie co-stars such as Jordan Brook and Sophie Kasaei.

Amy was walked down the aisle by her dad, who is also named Billy, with guests all adhering to a black tie dresscode.

Amy and Billy had their first wedding back in April having previously postponed their nuptials last year.

The new show is expected to land on ITV in the coming months.

AMY Childs looked utterly stunning this weekend as she tied the knot with her beau Billy Delbosq for a second time in Mallorca.

The TOWIE star wore a breathtaking off-the-shoulder gown for the big day which was made almost entirely from white lace.

Hugging her body in a mermaid style, Amy’s figure looked incredible while a romantic embroidered train cascaded out from behind her.

Amy’s flowing veil was simple but classic, consisting of sheer fabric that allowed the dress to remain the centre of attention.

She left her hair loosely flowing in brunette and honey waves, paired with a neutral but glamorous make up look.

Meanwhile, groom Billy opted to wear a dapper off-white suit jacket with a bow tie.

The couple wed surrounded by 180 guests in the stunning Mallorca location, including Towie co-stars such as Jordan Brook and Sophie Kasaei.

Standing at the altar, Amy and Billy appeared overjoyed as white and blush pink roses were styled into arches around them.

Amy was walked down the aisle by her dad, who is also named Billy, with guests all adhering to a black tie dresscode.

The day was all captured on camera for an ITV reality show, meaning fans will get to watch the nuptials soon.

The couple were seen touching down in Spain last week ahead of their second wedding.

Amy was snapped arriving at the airport at 4:00am alongside her husband Billy and their twins Billy and Milly.

She kept her outfit relaxed, wearing a pair of white jogger shorts and a matching zip-up hoodie with her new surname embroidered at the side.

Amid what appeared to be quite the stressful trip, the reality star was spotted cuddling up to her husband at the check-in desk.

Amy and Billy had their first wedding back in April after what they’ve described as a “very rough few months”.

For the first wedding Amy stunned in a white lace corseted dress, while Billy was smart in a navy suit and pristine white trainers.

At the time Amy took to Instagram to share a glimpse of the white dress from Oh Polly.

It was revealed last year in May that Amy and Billy, 42, had decided to postpone their nuptials leaving the couple devastated. 

But TOWIE legend Amy has insisted that they would tie the knot the next year.

Writing on Instagram, she said: “Today would have been our wedding day. Woke up feeling very sad and upset.

“After having a very tough few months we had to make the decision to cancel our dream wedding, we planned, we visited our dream venue, we was so excited.

“BUT i know that 2026 is our year and I can’t wait to Marry you Billy. I’m so excited to get planning.”
