They've been living it up in stunning Marrakesh, in a plush Riad hotel with a pool and a sauna.

Carlos posted videos from the trip with the twins and looked worlds away from the dance floor, wearing a tank top and white slacks in one photo.

He told fans: "Marrakesh has put a spring in my step" as they enjoyed days relaxing in the vibrant city in Morroco.

Amy said she's been following the mantra "live life to the fullest" since her health nightmare.

She also thanked Carlos in her own post on Instagram, writing: "#happy #givinguscolor #dancefriendsmakethebestfriends"

The dance show stars posed for another glam photo with Amy sporting bleach blonde hair and Carlos wearing a silk suit in lime green.

Amy stunned wearing an off the shoulder pink dress that featured a bright floral print.

Fans of the star were quick to praise how incredible she looked, and one shared: "What a pair of gorgeous human beings!!"

Dianne Buswell said: "Amy you look so beautiful."

The Welsh star recently revealed the brutal toll her cancer battle has taken on her husband Ben Jones and her secret plea to the BBC.

After being diagnosed with breast cancer, she underwent a full mastectomy and finished her chemotherapy at the end of 2023.

Emotional Amy, 33, appeared on The One Show last month, and gushed over her family and co-stars for their support.

Amy said : “Since my diagnosis in May, he hasn't taken a break.

"He’s self-employed and works at our dance school. He’s been looking after me or working so he didn’t get a weekend off or a holiday or anything.

“Who goes from May to Christmas without a break at all? There was so much worry and anxiety that he had.

She added: “Everything has been so wrapped up around my hospital [appointments] and I think as a relationship, we haven’t had the time that we needed to as a husband and wife would.”

Amy and Ben met in 2011, but kept their romance under wraps for a number of years.

She found out last month that her cancer diagnosis had finally reached a turning point.

The incredible news came just days after Amy was rushed to hospital with respiratory problems.
