Fighting back tears, Ashley told The Sun on Sunday: “The first thing that I did was go down to Azaylia’s resting place to talk to her about it.

“I believe that was a huge part that has allowed me to feel positive about it. I feel like she was the main person that I needed to speak to and to get this thing off my chest. 

“After going to her resting place and speaking to her about it, I just had a feeling in my heart and in my soul that she was happy for me.

“She was happy that she had a little brother and it is now just someone else for her to watch over and protect in this world.”

Ashley was preparing to take on the Yukon 1000 - the world’s longest canoe race from Canada through the Arctic Circle to Alaska - when he received a message in July from a close friend.

“I got a call from a girl I was seeing at the time who I have known since I was 18,” he said. 

“We are friends and have met up on and off over the years - she is a really nice person and good to be around. 

“I got a message saying that she needed to speak to me so I went to see her and she told me that she was pregnant - I can’t put into words how that felt.
