Amy Childs has shared the devastating news of her cousin's baby daughter, who died aged 11 months after battling an aggressive brain tumour. Just three weeks after baby Lila was born last September, she was diagnosed with Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumour (AT/RT).
Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumour is a very rare, fast-growing, and highly aggressive cancerous tumour that develops in the brain and spinal cord of children aged three and younger. The TOWIE star, 36, heartbreakingly shared at the National Television Awards on Tuesday that her cousin Hannah Brincat's daughter passed away.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz on Tuesday night, Amy said: 'She passed away, bless her. I only found out on Instagram a couple of days ago. It's really sad.' Hannah announced Lila's death on a JustGiving crowdfunding page set up to help support her daughter.
She said: 'Lila Aimee Rose Brincat 25/09/2025 - 05/09/2026.' It is with broken hearts that we share the passing of our perfect Lila. 346 days 8,304 hours 498,240 minutes. Numbers can count the time we had you, but nothing can ever measure the depth of our love for you. 'We will cherish your memory, speak your name, and hold you in our hearts in every minute, hour, and day ahead. You changed our world forever. Until we meet again, our precious, beautiful Lila, we love you infinitely.'
