Ex On The Beach's Ashley Cain sleeping on floor of daughter's hospital room amid leukemia fight

Ex On The Beach star Ashley Cain has revealed he's sleeping on the floor of his daughter's hospital room while she battles leukemia.

Last week Ashley, 30, shared the devastating news that his eight-week-old baby girl Azaylia Diamond has an aggressive form of the disease, which is a cancer of the blood.

In his Instagram stories on Monday evening he shared a video of Azaylia in her hospital crib, explaining that her room is also his bedroom for the time being.

Azaylia, who Ashley shares with his girlfriend Safiyya Vorajee, looked up at her dad as the reality TV star squeezed her hand while filming around the room.

In the corner on the floor was a small mat that had a pillow and blanket on top.

"Hey little champ," Ashley said to his little girl. "This is daddy's room, daddy's bedroom for the next month.

"I mean it's not The Ritz but I wouldn't choose to be anywhere else.

"This is the only place daddy would want to be at the minute. Right next to you."

On his Instagram feed Ashley had also posted a picture of Azaylia in her hospital bed as she sat up on a pillow with two teddies to keep her company.

She had been awarded a special certificate for being brave.

"BRAVE," Ashley captioned the photo alongside a red love heart emoji.

Ashley announced the news in an Instagram video last week, saying: "Yesterday I had to go through something no parent in the world should have to go through.

"The single most upsetting, terrifying and heartbreaking experience I have ever been through.

"Everybody who wishes to, please say a prayer for my beautiful brave little girl Azaylia who is currently fighting a battle for her life!

"Mummy and Daddy love you princess LET'S GO CHAMP. You CAN and you WILL beat this!"
