Welsh Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden has joined I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! winner Giovanna Fletcher on a charity hike in Pembrokeshire. The stars are raising money for CoppaFeel, a charity that encourages people to check their breasts and supports people with breast cancer.
Amy and Giovanna became friends when Amy was partnered with Giovanna's husband and McFly frontman Tom Fletcher for the 2021 series of Strictly Come Dancing. Since then Giovanna and Tom have spent time with Amy outside of the show and she even stayed with them while recovering from a Crohn's flare-up.
This week Amy, who is from Caerphilly, set off to join Giovanna in Pembrokeshire for part of the hike. Giovanna set out on her mammoth hike on Sunday, June 12 and she is no stranger to Wales having won the first-ever series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! filmed at Gwrych Castle, in north Wales.
