According to Brain Tumour Research, the rare and highly-aggressive tumour develops in the brain and spinal cord of children under the age of three.

Amy, 36, broke her silence on the tragic loss while appearing at the on Tuesday evening.

She told BANG Showbiz: “She passed away, bless her. I only found out on a couple of days ago. It’s really sad.”

Hannah shared the heartbreaking news of Lila’s death on a JustGiving page that was created to help support her daughter.

The grief-stricken mother wrote on Monday: “Lila Aimee Rose Brincat 25/09/2025 – 05/09/2026.

“It is with broken hearts that we share the passing of our perfect Lila.

“346 days, 8,304 hours, 498,240 minutes. Numbers can count the time we had you, but nothing can ever measure the depth of our love for you.

“We will cherish your memory, speak your name, and hold you in our hearts in every minute, hour, and day ahead. Our miracle girl.

“You changed our world forever. Until we meet again, our precious, beautiful Lila, we love you infinitely.”

Lila underwent a gruelling nine-hour brain surgery at just three-weeks old before moving onto chemotherapy two weeks later.

After six rounds of chemotherapy, the family were told after an MRI, that the tumour had returned.

Doctors tragically revealed that treatment would not continue and they were out of options.

Hannah reached out to leading experts for a second opinion and asked for financial aid to help them.

The page raised over £27,000, just £3,000 short of the £30,000 target.

Hannah urged at the time: “Be assured your donations will not go to waste.

“If our efforts don’t pay off, your donations will be given generously to the lovely charities who have supported us during this time.”
