Amy Dowden has been flooded with messages of love and support as she declared she was 'back' after an emotional yet joyous night alongside one of her Strictly Come Dancing co-stars.
Fans of the BBC One dance contest will probably be aware that the professional dancer has joined forces with her friend Carlos Gu for their own joint headline tour.
The pair, who are both part of the BBC One dance contest's pro line-up, began their own headline tour, titled Reborn, last month and have continued wowing audiences across the country
But it was on Tuesday night (April 1) that Amy and Carlos experienced a dream come true moment as performed on a West End stage as part of their tour, with their Strictly co-stars among those supporting them in the audience at London's Adelphi Theatre.
Strictly stars including Shirley Ballas, Katya Jones, Dianne Buswell and Nadiya Bychkova were all thought to have been in the audience on the special gala night.
It was then on Wednesday (April 2) that Amy took to social media and reflected on the evening. Alongside a smiling picture of herself and Carlos wrapped in an embrace, the 35-year-old said: "These are the faces of two happy friends who performed their show on a west end stage last night to the most fabulous, busy and supportive audience with the most talented cast!
"The love and support we’ve received has just been over whelming and I can’t thank you all enough. Last night was a special night which will stay in my heart forever! AMY IS BACK! Forever grateful #reborn #whatanight #dreamscometrue."
And their Strictly pals and fans were quick to respond. Dianne Buswell said: "Loved it." Tasha Ghouri commented: "Incredible show!!" Gorka Marquez shared: "[Clapping emojis] so gutted I missed it."
