Leukaemia is a cancer of the white blood cells, and comes in a number of forms, including acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and acute myeloid leukaemia.
Symptoms of leukaemia in children can include pale skin, fatigue, high temperature, unusual bleeding, swollen lymph nodes, easily bruised skin and a purple skin rash, most of them caused by a lack of healthy blood cells.
Cain announced Azaylia’s birth on August 11, confirming she had been born a day earlier weighing 7lbs 10oz.
In an emotional post, he wrote: ‘There is no words to describe this feeling. But she has opened new doors to my life and my heart. I could literally look at her all day and hold her till my arms give in.
‘But mainly I will always be there for her as her daddy, her friend and her confidant! Daddy loves you baby, you’ve changed my life!’
Cain was previously a professional footballer who played for teams including Coventry City, Luton Town and Tamworth.
He rose to reality TV fame as one of the original stars of MTV’s Ex On The Beach, returning in series two and five as an ex.
Cain went on to star on MTV’s The Challenge in the US, and dated fellow reality stars including Jemma Lucy and Chloe Khan.
