Ashley never revealed the identity of Aliyas' mother and it's unclear if his unborn child has the same mum.

Earlier this year the doting dad was forced to be away from his son for three months as he became the first man to run, cycle and kayak from John O'Groats in Scotland to Land's End in Cornwall back to back.

He took on the mammoth task in memory of Azaylia and travelled nearly 3,000 miles raising close to £200,000 for The Azaylia Foundation, which supports families of children with cancer.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun after his challenge, Ashley said: "Missing my son, I used to have to try and finish the run, the cycle or the kayak early enough to try and Facetime him, but even that was a rare occasion.
