Ex on the Beach star Ashley Cain has made the heartbreaking revelation that his eight-week-old baby daughter has an aggressive form of leukaemia.
The 30-year-old reality star has been at the hospital bedside of his baby girl, who is named Azaylia Diamond, following her diagnosis.
Taking to social media on Friday night, Ashley shared the heartbreaking news as he uploaded a video of himself affectionately stroking his daughter.
The footage showed the young dad softly comforting his baby girl as she slept in a cot and he tucked covers around her and whispered words of encouragement to her.
Uploading the video to Instagram, the former footballer asked fans and followers to send support to his baby.
He wrote on Friday evening: “Yesterday I had to go through something no parent in the world should have to go through.
“The single most upsetting, terrifying and heartbreaking experience I have ever been through.
“I found out my beautiful daughter Azaylia Diamond Cain got diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of leukaemia which has come with many complications.
“Everybody who wishes to, please say a prayer for my beautiful brave little girl Azaylia who is currently fighting a battle for her life!
“Mummy and Daddy love you princess LETS GO CHAMP. You CAN and you WILL beat this!”
Ashley and his girlfriend, Safiyya Vorajee, welcomed baby Azaylia together in August.
Celebrating her birth online at the time, Ashley proudly wrote: “Azaylia Diamond Cain 7lbs 10oz. Born 10/08/2020. Time 06:56.
“There is no words to describe this feeling. But she has opened new doors to my life and my heart. I could literally look at her all day and hold her till my arms give in.”
Fans have rallied around Ashley to send him words of encouragement, with one writing on his Instagram post: “This just crushed me so I can’t imagine how your all feeling but I just beat double hit lymphoma… another horrid blood cancer. A donor stem cell transplant has saved my life and I hope your baby girl gets the same, you can do this baby girl from one fighter to another.”
