Safiyya Vorajee has revealed that she is a ‘mess’ as she buys gifts for her late daughter Azaylia.

Safiyya 37, and her ex-partner, TV personality and former footballer, Ashley Cain, 34, suffered a devastating loss when their daughter Azaylia died in April 2021 at just eight months old.

Since her daughter’s death from leukaemia, Safiyya has documented her grief and has now revealed she is struggling at the festive season as she prepares for another Christmas without her daughter.

‘I am a mess right now, I’ve just come out of Asda and it was so tormenting for me in there I ended up going past this outfit,’ she then revealed a child’s jumper and trousers set in a video on social media.

‘And when I saw it it literally broke my heart and I just ended up buying it. I literally feel like a mess.

‘I bought that outfit and I’m like Azaylia is my shining light, my guiding star, and I ended up buying a star.’

‘I bought her a bell for her garden, I saw this and she loved her baths, and it reminded me of her and her little face,’ she said holding up a children’s bath toy, and another unicorn toy.

‘I’m just a mess and this is so tormenting, I’m just like, I don’t know, it’s just heavy.’

Ashley and Safiyya split one year after their daughter’s death and earlier this year in January 2024, he welcomed son Aliyas Diamond with a new partner.

Ashley is now expecting another child as his partner is pregnant again. He told fans on social media: ‘My little girl will soon have another little brother to watch over, and my little boy will not only be a baby brother but a big brother too.

‘With all the heartache I’ve been through, I’m truly grateful that I can really start counting my blessings again!’’

Safiyya told The Sun in a recent interview that she will pay tribute to her daughter tomorrow December 25, but will also be surrounded by family.

‘I’ll be with my mum, my stepdad and my brother and my nephew, but I always go on my own to Azaylia’s garden.

‘I’ll spend a bit of time there on Christmas Day,’ she said.

She also briefly commented on her former partner having more children.

‘For me, I know he is an amazing dad, and he always will be an amazing dad,’ she said. ‘He’s just really blessed, and I hope he enjoys every moment of it.’
