Mollie King admits that losing her dad Stephen 10 days after giving birth to her daughter was 'the hardest she's ever been pushed' as she reveals the moment she knew her fiancé Stuart Broad was 'it'


The Saturdays star, 35, welcomed her daughter Annabella in November 2022, and just 10 days later her father passed away following a battle with a brain tumour.

Speaking in Women's Health June Issue, Mollie admitted it was 'such a shock' when Stephen was diagnosed with a brain tumour when she was halfway through her pregnancy, but it made her realise how 'strong' she could be. Earlier this year, Mollie undertook a gruelling 500k cycle from London to Hull in her dad's memory, in a bid to raise money for Comic Relief. Stuart called time on his storied career at the conclusion of the Ashes last year, signing off with a wicket with his final ball to seal victory over Australia at The Oval.
