Former Strictly star Mollie King posts emotional message about bittersweet first Christmas with baby daughter

The Saturdays singer and Radio 1 presenter Mollie King has extended her love and support to those who have lost a loved one in 2022 as she detailed in an Instagram post her fears of sitting down at the Christmas table with "one chair less" after her own father passed away shortly after her baby daughter was born.

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant gave birth to baby daughter Annabella, who she shares with her fiancé, cricketer Stuart Broad, at the end of November. She announced the news on Instagram on Thursday, November 24 and less than a week later, she posted a heartbreaking tribute to her father, who had died following a brain tumour.

On Wednesday, December 28, the 35-year-old reflected on her baby's first Christmas, detailing the lovely moments as well as saying: "I know I’m not the only one who will be missing a loved one this Christmas and my heart goes out to anyone who’s also going through this."
