Daria's mother Elena reportedly has terminal cancer, but says she is determined to overcome it in order to be there for her pregnant daughter.

She said: "Initially, we thought she had food poisoning, but slowly we started to realise that whatever was happening had nothing to do with her belly. We then bought a pregnancy test and it showed up positive."

Elena said that she never considered making her teen daughter have an abortion despite her own circumstances, adding that she would be concerned that she would not be able to have children in later life.

Elena also added that, despite her terminal-stage cancer, she plans to stay around as long as possible in order to take care of the baby in the future, adding: "Now I have a reason to live."
