Sara, who competed on Strictly in 2021, said of working with Amy: "I'd always heard what an incredible adventure Antiques Road Trip is. Being with Amy made it even more special for me, and to be able to spend that time together and share the experience was just brilliant."
Amy Dowden and Sara Davies are among the line-up of famous faces who will compete in the next series of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip (PA)Amy and Sara join a host of celebrities on the 12th series of the BBC show in which famous faces go on a road trip around the UK searching for treasures to make the most money at auction. Ekin-Su Culculoglu, Davide Sanclimenti, Gemma Collins, BBC Radio 1 presenter Melvin Odoom and eighties pop stars Samantha Fox and Sinitta will all be hoping to make some cash as they take part in the show.
The series was filmed before Amy's latest cancer treatment, which is her fifth round of chemotherapy. The dancer shared a snap of herself in hospital, hooked up to a drip with her freshly shaved head on Thursday. Last week, she also posted footage of her saying goodbye to her hair in a emotional video, which was praised by her Strictly co-stars.
