ASHLEY Cain has opened up on the heartbreaking way he ‘told’ his late daughter Azaylia that he was going to be a dad again.
The SAS Who Dares Wins star, 33, said that he went to the grave of his daughter, who passed away from a rare form of cancer aged eight months in 2021, after finding out his friend was pregnant.

Fighting back tears, Ashley told The Sun on Sunday: “The first thing that I did was go down to Azaylia’s resting place to talk to her about it.
“I believe that was a huge part that has allowed me to feel positive about it. I feel like she was the main person that I needed to speak to and to get this thing off my chest.
“After going to her resting place and speaking to her about it, I just had a feeling in my heart and in my soul that she was happy for me.
“She was happy that she had a little brother and it is now just someone else for her to watch over and protect in this world.”

Ashley was preparing to take on the Yukon 1000 – the world’s longest canoe race from Canada through the Arctic Circle to Alaska – when he received a message in July from a close friend.
“I got a call from a girl I was seeing at the time who I have known since I was 18,” he said.
“We are friends and have met up on and off over the years – she is a really nice person and good to be around.
“I got a message saying that she needed to speak to me so I went to see her and she told me that she was pregnant – I can’t put into words how that felt.
“The thought of potentially having another child after losing one was very difficult to understand for me.
“The Yukon gave me a lot of time and solitude to think and it made me understand that, even though this next part of my journey is going to be hard, I truly understood that every child that comes into this world is a blessing.”
