Dancing On Ice star Brianne Delcourt has opened up about her seven-month-old daughter’s battle with pneumonia.
The 41-year-old shares daughters Olivia-Mai, 22 months, and Keavy Anne, seven months, with husband Kevin Kilbane.
The pair met on ITV’s ice-skating competition in 2020, and tied the knot shortly after in a secret ceremony, having to make adjustments to their big day due to the pandemic.
On Instagram on Friday, the pro skater revealed Keavy Anne had been admitted to hospital one week and a half ago with the illness but was now on the mend.
Brianne said she was ‘so sick [it] just killed me’ and wanted to thank all of her ‘my besties who have helped me out recently and have checked in and was there for support.’
She continued: ‘I have some amazing people in my life and a great community I live in too and I’m so grateful for you all.’
Brianne explained that her daughter’s illness ‘took us all down’, adding: ‘ I’m hoping we have turned a corner.
‘I can’t tell you how happy I am (and we all are) to see Keavy Anne smiling and being her happy self again.’
She shared an adorable slew of pictures of Keavy Anne smiling and playing with her elder sister.
