SAFIYYA Vorajee has revealed she will be spending Christmas Day at her daughter’s grave side.
The 36-year-old and her now ex Ashley Cain tragically lost their daughter Azaylia to cancer in April 2021.
Azaylia was just eight weeks old when she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia and tumours on her lungs, stomach and kidneys.
Following her death, Safiyya and Ashley have worked tirelessly to keep her legacy alive – and Christmas is no exception.
Safiyya has made sure her daughter’s grave looks festive and shared a video as she decorated it.
She told her followers: “Pouring love into Azaylia’s Garden for Christmas is my way of making it special for her.

“Making a magical place for my baby during this festive time helps me deal with sadness. When grieving, there’s no specific way to do things – just focusing on what brings comfort is what matters.
“I also buy her gifts that are for her garden and take them down on Christmas Day, being the best mummy I can be on earth for my angel. I love you.”
It’s been a tough time for Safiyya, who recently told The Sun how Ex On The Beach star Ashley was “quick and brutal” when he ended their relationship, adding that she is “shattered” at the news he is now having a baby with someone else.
Ashley recently shared the news that he’s expecting a baby boy with an unnamed friend.

Safiyya revealed that Ashley had asked her to have another baby with him during a visit to Azaylia’s “garden” at the cemetery.
But months later, he told her he was expecting a child with someone he is not in a relationship with.
Safiyya says: “He didn’t tell me who she was and, again, I would not ask.”
Breaking down, she added: “That’s the heartbreaking thing about it. Even when he told me, I put him first so he didn’t feel guilty for telling me. Inside I was screaming and crying.”
Safiyya said she visited Azaylia’s garden to tell her the news but wasn’t able to.
She admits she will struggle to ever see Ashley’s new child.
Safiyya said: “As raw as that sounds, I find it difficult watching my own nephews, my own goddaughter play, as Azaylia should be playing with them.”
