Ashley Cain, former star of Ex On The Beach, has criticised Ricky Gervais for making jokes about terminally ill children in his new comedy show.

Ashley, who tragically lost his eight-month-old daughter Azaylia to leukaemia last year, was deeply upset by the comedian's remarks, as reported in the Mirror.

In his latest Netflix special, Armageddon, 62 year old Ricky makes light of children battling serious illnesses, referring to them as "baldies" and questioning why they don't wish to get better when meeting him through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

While Ricky may have intended to tackle tough subjects with humour, Ashley was not amused. He took to Instagram to express his disappointment, saying: "Some things are just not funny." He added: "I was actually a fan of Ricky Gervais but I had to turn off his stand-up the other day as I was watching it with family and there were multiple jokes about terminally ill children and especially kids with cancer." Ashley expressed his anger, saying: "Some things are just not funny.
