Recruit Becky opened up about the loss of her daughter

Recruit Number 5, Becky, a housewife and mum from Essex, opened up about the heartbreaking loss of her daughter in last night’s episode.

When her son was two years old, Becky gave birth to a baby girl named Darcey.

But when Darcey was just two and a half years old, she became ill and unable to keep food down.

Darcey was initially diagnosed with gastroenteritis but, after her daughter started walking in an unusual way, Becky took Darcey to A&E where she was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Darcey underwent surgery to save her life but died three weeks later.

Becky opened up to Directing Staff in SAS: Who Dares Wins about the devastating loss of her young child.

She told them: “My daughter passed away when she was two and a half, of cancer. It doesn’t get easier.”

“I’ve got a little boy, so – and he’s amazing, he’s my rock – you just have to get up the next day and do things because he’s there. Life just goes on, doesn’t it.”
