Ashley Cain posts video of speech he gave at Azaylia's funeral as he broke down in tears

Ashley Cain has shared an emotional video of the incredibly moving speech he gave at daughter Azaylia's funeral.

The reality TV star, 30, took to his Instagram page on Thursday to reveal to fans his final words of goodbye to his beloved little girl.

The dad was dressed in a black suit and tried to force back the tears while looking out to the crowd.

"The toughest speech of my life," the former Ex On The Beach star began.

"The week leading up to Azaylia's day was comprised of sadness, fear and anxiety. I was sad because my beautiful baby had passed, I was scared because it was our final goodbye and I was anxious because I wanted to make sure I had the strength to stand up and speak about my hero, and how she impacted my life."

He continued: "I wrote a speech at 4am two days before Azaylia's day. I couldn't bring myself to go back to it or read through because of the pain it caused.

"I was so nervous that I wouldn't have the strength when I came to it, and It made me panic, as it meant everything to me to be able to speak about my likkle lion that day.

"But when the day came, I just had some strong belief and some crazy faith, that my baby would get me through it. And like always, she did."

Ashley concluded: "To the top of every mountain, to the bottom of every valley. Along every road, across every ocean. North to south, east to west, corner to corner, pillar to post. I’ll take you there.

"Let's Go Champ! 'Oobee doo, I wanna be like you!'"

It comes after he vowed to visit his baby daughter's grave every single day.
