Ashley Cain is the former footballer who, at the age of only 32, has gone through more than what most people would in a lifetime after the heartbreaking loss of his baby daughter Azaylia, who died at eight months old from leukaemia. Ashley is currently starring in Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, the show that pushes celebrities to the limit, both mentally and physically. Ashley has endured a heartbreaking couple of years, after his daughter, Azaylia Diamond Cain, who he shared with ex-partner Safiyya Vorajee, was born in August 2020, and was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia just two months later.
She tragically died in April 2021. She was just eight weeks old when she was first diagnosed with a rare form of the blood cancer and had been receiving care at Birmingham Children Hospital. After multiple rounds of chemo and a bone marrow transplant, the family were told the devastating news that Azaylia's leukaemia had returned.
Former Ex on the Beach star Ashley and his partner Safiyya's plight with the diagnosis of their daughter attracted the attention of the world when they kept their Instagram followers up to date as they battled in vain to help her attempt to beat the disease. In a final attempt to save her life, they launched a fundraiser, a month before her death, to pay for specialist treatment in Singapore. Fans and celebrities alike rushed to offer support, and they shattered their target of the £1million needed within hours, with the account ending holding more than £1.6million.
