HEARTBREAKING: This Morning’s Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard Sh0cked by Trɑgic D3ath of Mum of 5 – What will Happen to her Children Now?

A man’s partner tragically passed away following a Brazilian bum lift and now he has been left to raise their five daughters.

Wednesday’s episode of This Morning saw co-hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard interview people who have experienced issues with the procedure.

A non-surgical BBL involves injecting filler into the buttocks and has recently grown in popularity.

One of the guests included Dane Knight, who’s partner, Alice, d13d in August 2024.

He revealed how he didn’t know Alice was even having the procedure and thought she was enjoying a day out.

‘I didn’t know she was getting the procedure done, obviously when we got the phone call I didn’t know what the issue was from the hospital, it was more get there and then find out the current situation,’ Dane explained.

‘Prior to that, going back off the information, we talked about the procedures, as far as we were concerned, the information that was available at that date and time it was deemed as safe,’ he added.

‘Now I’ve learnt that it’s not.’

Dane shared he felt Alice didn’t actually understand the risks because it was ‘deemed as safe’.

The couple have five daughters together and Cat asked if Alice had been aware of the possible risks, would she have gone ahead with the procedure.

‘No way Cat she wouldn’t of, no chance,’ Dane said.

Cat and Ben had discussed the risks of similar procedures with Health Secretary Wes Streeting on Tuesday’s episode and notified him of Dane and Alice’s situation.

On the show, Wes said: ‘In the coming days and weeks we’re going to be setting out the regulations.

‘Over in the next week or so you should hear from the government about what we’re going to do to clamp down on cosmetic cowboys here at home, when it comes to overseas it’s more complicated…’

‘Just hearing Dane speaking there and the thought of five children being left behind because they’ve lost their mother in these circumstances, that motivates me to act and I hope for people watching as well, it’s just the worst possible reminder,’ he added.

Dane commented that the Health Secretary’s comments and plans were ‘comforting’ but that he hoped to see ‘action’.

‘Something needs to be put in place sooner, rather than later, before this happens to another family,’ he said.

Save Face director Ashton Collins also featured on Wednesday’s instalment and said: ‘In our view, Alice’s d3ath should never have been allowed to happen. We warned the government in 2023 that this was crisis waiting to happen.

‘We said without action, lives would be lost and we are just hopeful that they will do something before anyone else has to pay the ultimate sacrifice at the hands of these unscrupulous people.’

Ben asked Dane how he and his daughters were coping with things

Ben asked Dane how he and his daughters were coping with things.

Dane replied: ‘Girls are going strong, they’re a credit to Alice. Obviously the damage is still showing and it’s ongoing especially with the ongoing police investigation so we can’t put it rest and get that grief process started because it just kicks back up again so it’s just an ongoing nightmare.

‘It’s hard enough becoming a single parent, to losing someone but all these bits together is just unreal.’
