It comes after Amy revealed she's been dealt a fresh health blow just three weeks after finishing chemotherapy treatment.
In a new Instagram video, the crestfallen professional dancer, 33, told fans she was rushed to hospital on Monday and diagnosed with a blood clot on the lung.
Doctors had feared it was on its way to her heart, however, further inspection established that was not the case.
Speaking from her home, Amy said: "Unfortunately I've had another nightmare this week. Just seems to be never-ending...
"They were really worried that the clot was travelling to my heart or effecting my heart. Lucky enough, it's not."
Amy showed puncture marks on her wrist and hands and said she'd had drips "everywhere".
Amy, who also lives with Crohn's Disease, was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in May.
She underwent a full mastectomy before having chemotherapy and was also found to have had blood clots in the summer.
Despite her myriad setbacks, Amy rang the bell at her hospital three weeks ago to signal the end of her cancer treatment, and she had hoped to dance on Strictly in some capacity before the end of the year.
