Amy Dowden stuns in a bikini one year after getting cancer all clear
Amy Dowden looked stunning as she shared a bikini snap from her Dubai holiday this week, one year after she was given the all clear following a breast cancer battle. Amy Dowden is enjoying some well deserved R&R with a bank holiday trip to Dubai this week and has been sharing a myriad of sun-soaked snaps. Lapping up the good weather, the Strictly Come Dancing star, 34, looked stunning on Tuesday as she donned a white patterned bikini, pulling her hair back into and adding a pair of brown sunglasses to complete the look. Sharing a mirror snap to her Instagram Stories in the two-piece, Amy showed off her toned physique and wrote: "Love this set I found the other day from @primark". Amy and her husband of three years Benjamin Jones are enjoying some quality time on the trip and have been staying in the lavish JA Palm Tree Court, a five-star hotel on Dubai's beachfront. Updating her 708K Instagram followers, Amy shared a picture with her husband as they headed out for dinner on Monday to kick off the trip. She wrote: "We are in full holiday mode! Life has been crazy busy for us both this year. Super grateful for all the opportunities but have so been looking forward to getting away for some quality time together and of course some sun". The holiday comes a year after Amy was given the all clear from doctors after a harrowing battle with breast cancer, which began in 2023. Just a day before her dream honeymoon in April that year, the dancer felt a lump in her right breast while showering. After returning home, Amy went to the GP for a series of tests and was given the devastating news that she had grade 3 breast cancer. The Strictly Come Dancing favourite underwent chemotherapy and a mastectomy, leading her to step back from her role on the BBC dance show. However, her luck took a turn for the better when she was given the all-clear in February 2024. Sharing the news to social media at the time, Amy shared a snap of herself beaming with joy with her arms in the air and said: "NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE! Words I dreamed of! My biggest accomplishment yet! I won't be getting the all-clear for 5 years especially with a hormone fed cancer. But it was all worth it. Words I never thought I'd hear at one point. "So grateful for all the care I received and continue to have. To my husband, family and friends who supported me unconditionally and to you guys! Thank you! I will still need a monthly injection for 5 years and regular check ups. Chemo and this past year has certainly took its toll on my body both physically and mentally, so I'll be taking the next few months to heal and recover."Amy continued: "I have so much to strive and live for, and so grateful for another chance at life! Something I know not all get. I certainly see life differently and my life has changed forever! Cancer affects too many so I will continue to do all I can to raise awareness and make sure I get as many as I can to #checkthemselves."It's time to look ahead after what's been the toughest year, and one I certainly didn't expect!"

JA Sports & Shooting Club set to become a leading sports hub in Dubai
AED 300M-plus investment brings world-class football, cricket, shooting, cycling and jogging track facilities to JA Lake View Hotel, JA Beach Hotel, and JA Palm Tree Court Ambitious project includes the region's finest indoor shooting range and purpose-built, elite international standard training grounds DUBAI: JA Sports & Shooting Club in Jebel Ali, Dubai, a world-class sporting destination being created through a significant investment of more than AED 300 million, will be opening later this year with construction already underway on the landmark new development. Set to open in phases from the end of this summer, the expansive, multi-sport complex will feature international-standard football and cricket facilities, a cutting-edge indoor shooting range, and integrated cycling and jogging track facilities that connect seamlessly with the nearby JA Lake View Hotel, JA Beach Hotel, and JA Palm Tree Court. Purpose-built to serve both elite athletes and active leisure seekers, the facility is set to become a leading hub for professional training, competition, and community engagement, significantly enhancing Dubai's position as a global sports destination. Importantly, with major new developments underway across Palm Jebel Ali and Dubai South, JA Sports & Shooting Club is ideally positioned to serve the growing residential and visitor communities in the area. It is expected to become a vibrant hub for sport, wellbeing, and recreation that adds lasting value to the region's evolving landscape. Mr Tariq Baker, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Dutco, the owning company, said: 'This landmark facility represents our vision to not only boost the sporting infrastructure of Dubai and the wider region, but also to contribute meaningfully to the UAE's hospitality sector. 'By integrating this project with JA Lake View Hotel, JA Beach Hotel, and JA Palm Tree Court, we're creating a destination that supports elite performance, promotes healthy living, and attracts visitors from around the world. 'Crucially, the development also aligns perfectly with the strategic visions set out by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum – Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai – in the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033 to make Dubai one of the world's most wellbeing-focused cities. We are proud to play our part in realising this ambition.' Commenting on the development, Stuart Gibb, Group General Manager, JA Sports, added: 'We're excited about the progress on a major new development at JA Sports & Shooting Club. This project represents a significant investment of more than AED 300 million and will include international-standard football and cricket facilities, an indoor shooting range, and integrated cycling and jogging track facilities. Once completed, it's set to elevate the Club as one of Dubai's premier sports destinations.' Professional-grade football and cricket facilities At the heart of the development will be six floodlit, international-size football pitches, designed to meet the needs of professional teams each with its own goal keeping and skills training areas, as well as dedicated home and away training bases. Two of the pitches will feature 500-seat stands. Players will benefit from dedicated changing rooms and access to an exclusive 800 sqm turf farm, ensuring year-round, high-performance pitch conditions that meet the highest global standards. For cricket, the complex will offer a pristine international-standard oval, with professional-grade training nets and dedicated changing facilities. The ground's design includes a grass bank for casual viewing and a 100-seat stand, balancing spectator accessibility with a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere. Both the football and cricket facilities are expected to open after the summer this year. Indoor shooting range sets new standards for region A highlight of the new development is a 15,000 sqm indoor shooting facility, the first of its kind in the region. It will feature 25m and 50m pistol ranges, as well as a 200m multifunctional shotgun and rifle range – making it a pioneering destination for both competitive and recreational shooting. The shooting facility is currently targeting an opening in early 2026, with February as a tentative milestone – although timelines remain flexible to accommodate final construction and testing phases. Alongside the ranges, a stylish on-site restaurant will provide a unique social and leisure element, enhancing the visitor experience and encouraging longer, more fulfilling stays. Cycling and jogging track facilities Promoting health and wellbeing beyond traditional sport, the project also includes dedicated cycling and jogging track facilities that integrate directly with JA Lake View Hotel, JA Beach Hotel, and JA Palm Tree Court. These tracks are designed to provide scenic, accessible jogging and serious running routes for all fitness levels, enabling guests to combine wellness with nature and hospitality in one connected environment. The JA Sports & Shooting Club project underscores JA Resorts & Hotels' long-standing commitment to excellence, innovation, and the future of sport in Dubai and the UAE. With completion progressing on schedule, the facility is expected to attract local, regional, and international interest across multiple disciplines from elite competition to grassroots development and family recreation.

X-NOOR will be responsible for the implementation and ongoing maintenance of both projects. The first agreement, a 20-year Solar PV Lease, will see the deployment of rooftop solar PV system at the various JA properties. This system is designed to generate 1.972 GWh of clean energy annually, contributing to a total output of 37.6 GWh over two decades.

Over the 10-year term, these savings will equate to a reduction of over 20% in the resort's utility bills and will result in cumulative CO2 emissions savings of 40,314 metric tonnes. The combined impact of renewable and energy efficiency will set new benchmarks for sustainability in the hospitality industry. The five-star JA hotels, namely JA Palm Tree Court, JA Beach Hotel, Palm Jebel Ali and JA Lake View Hotel, each offer unique guest experiences while prioritising sustainability.
