Heartbroken Ashley Cain has announced that his daughter Azaylia’s leukaemia has returned.
In a devastating update on social media, the former Ex On The Beach star has shared the news that the five-month-old is facing a fresh fight for life.
The 30-year-old, who shares his baby girl with girlfriend Safiyya Vorajee, previously told how she was diagnosed with a “rare and aggressive” form of cancer known as acute myeloid leukaemia.
But now he has explained how the family have received some shattering news – just minutes after they were planning to leave the hospital and take her home after the end of her treatment.

“However, it turned out like most days on this journey – a miracle blindsided by heartbreak!
“We got told a few days ago that Azaylia would be ringing the bell today and coming home with us, as a family, to resume treatment two days per week as an outpatient.
