Amy Dowden surprised her Strictly colleagues on the Nottingham leg of Strictly Come Dancing Live! Tour on Tuesday.
The 33-year-old professional dancer appeared in every series of Strictly from 2017 to 2022 before her diagnosis forced her to miss series 21 in May.
On Tuesday, she and her husband Ben Jones visited Dianne Buswell, Nancy Xu, Vito Coppola, Carlos Gu and Katya Jones, and promised their 650,000 Instagram followers on Wednesday that more would follow.
The couple recently returned home from their second honeymoon in Grenada, during which Amy received luxurious head massages to stimulate her hair growth.
Amy, who married Ben in 2022, discovered a lump in her breast the day before she flew to the Maldives for her delayed honeymoon in April 2023 and admitted the holiday was “marred by the cancer diagnosis”.

Amy joined Lorraine in an episode earlier this year for a segment where she detailed how she was “getting her life back together.”
The dancer began: “The past year has been hard…cancer diagnosis, treatment, a mastectomy and some setbacks, but I am determined to get my life back on track. 'We're finally on our honeymoon in Grenada!'
She added: “A completely different feeling than when we honeymooned in the Maldives because of you.” [Ben] I didn't know it but obviously I had this cloud over me, I was there on my first honeymoon but I really wasn't because I found the bump, I hid it from Ben.
“Before I came to Grenada, I had seven appointments in one week last week, so it's just great to come here and get some vitamin D, escape hospital wards, appointments and medication!”
The annual Strictly tour began on January 19th and ends on February 11th.
They are the following Strictly couples: Ellie Leach, Bobby Brazier, Annabel Croft and Graziano Di Prima, Angela Rippon and Kai Widdrington, Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin, Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Jowita Przystal and Angela Scanlon.

The talk of the tour was the relationship between former Coronation Street actress Ellie, 22, who won Strictly with Vito in December, and EastEnders actor Bobby, 20.
