Mollie King showered with support as she details dad's 'horrible' battle before death days after she gave birth to first child

Mollie King has been showered with support as she opened up about her dad's 'horrible' battle before his death which came just days after she gave birth to her first child. The BBC Radio 1 star shared the heartbreaking news that her father, Stephen, had died at the end of November months after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Taking to Instagram at the time, Mollie shared a number of sweet pictures with her dad and said she and her family were "heartbroken beyond words" following Stephen's death, sharing how their "world was shattered" when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour in August 2022.

Mollie, who welcomed baby daughter Anabella in November with her cricketer fiancé Stuart Broad, also movingly shared how her dad had "held on" for a few extra days to meet his latest grandchild.
