Ashley Cain shares photo of matching tattoos his heartbroken family got for baby Azaylia

Ashley Cain has shared news that some of his family have paid tribute to his tragic baby daughter following her death by getting matching tattoos.

The 30-year-old star and his girlfriend, Safiyya Vorajee, were devastated last month when their baby girl, Azaylia, died aged eight-months-old following a battle with leukaemia.

The tot had bravely battled the disease after being diagnosed at just eight weeks old, with her distraught parents raising over £1.5 million to fund specialist treatment to try to save her.

Ashley has now revealed that members of his family have been inked with matching tattoos to commemorate Azaylia and to keep her in their memories for life.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, Ashley shared a photo of his family each with Azaylia’s name tattooed on themselves.

He captioned the image: “I love you. Azaylia Diamond Cain.”

While distraught Safiyya commented: “So some of the girls from the family have just been inked in memory of my little girl.”

Heartbroken Ashley said over the weekend the he cannot imagine life going back to normal following his loss.

He wrote online: “Me and Safiyya have been doing our very best to stay strong.

"But it's impossible at times.

“We've just had to search through all of our pictures and videos to choose which ones to play on Azaylia's day.

“It has left us crushed at the reality of what has happened.

“I live at the moment with constant pain in my head, aching in my chest and anxiousness in my belly.

"The world seems grey through my eyes. The only colour I see is an orange sky when we're blessed enough to have it.

“A laugh isn't a laugh, a smile is not a smile and my life is just not the same. It never will be again.”

He added: “I try my hardest to get up and run, bike and occupy my mind. But I am just sad. So sad. I miss you so much Azaylia."
