The Real Full Monty viewers break down in tears as Vanessa Bauer and Ashley Cain sob over family tragedies
THE Real Full Monty viewers broke down in tears tonight as Vanessa Bauer and Ashley Cain sobbed over their devastating losses.
Ten brave celebs are baring all to raise awareness of all types of cancer and are sharing their individual and family heartache along the way.
Tonight Dancing On Ice star Vanessa, 26, grew emotional in an art class as she remembered her late dad Marco, who would buy his family painting materials every Christmas.
She said: "My dad started off with throat cancer. When he got diagnosed they only gave him six months to live. That turned into six years.
"My dad suffered cancer throughout my entire Dancing On Ice career. He couldn't speak for the last year of his life and then he couldn't even write anymore for the last three months of his life so I never really knew what he wanted to say to me. It was quite hard because I knew he wanted to say a lot of things."
As Vanessa broke down she was consoled by co-star Victoria Ekanoye.

Later in the show, Ashley, 33, spoke of his late daughter Azaylia, who died from a rare form of leukaemia aged just eight months.
He said: "We found out Azaylia had tumours in her lungs, in her kidneys, in her stomach, in her spleen and on her brain. There was nothing else anyone could do to save her life.
"One morning me and Safiyya [Azaylia'smum] just had a sense it was going to be that morning. We wrapped our arms around Azaylia and we counted her last breaths."
Viewers were deeply moved by the personal stories.
One wrote on X: "I couldn’t stop when the girl was crying during the painting."
