Amy Dowden Mourns the Death of Best Friend Bex Due to Health Complications
### Strictly's Amy Dowden Announces Heartbreaking Loss
**Dancer Amy Dowden has expressed profound sadness following the death of her best friend, Bex.**
Amy Dowden, a prominent figure from the popular dance show “Strictly Come Dancing,” has released a statement revealing the tragic loss of her close friend Bex. Dowden disclosed the news that Bex suffered from a severe health complication, specifically a blood clot on her brain. This heartfelt announcement comes following a distressing call that Dowden received from Bex's mother, Anne, earlier this week.
In her emotional tribute, Dowden struggled to comprehend the suddenness of the tragedy, remarking on Bex’s vitality and good nature. "I've been a little quiet. On Friday, I got a call from my darling friend Bex's mum, Anne, to tell me that Bex had a blood clot on her brain. I still can't quite find the words or make sense of it. How something like this can happen to someone so fit, so healthy, so kind… a truly good soul," said Dowden.
Remembered fondly by those who knew her, Bex has been described as “the kindest person.” Dowden's sister also reflected on Bex's selflessness, illustrating how her friend often prioritized others' well-being above her own. "My sister said earlier how at Blackpool you were always more worried about me than your own dancing. That was you. Always selfless. Always thinking of others," she shared.
This loss has deeply affected Dowden as she grapples with the passing of someone who played such a significant role in her life.
