Radio 1 DJ Mollie King has opened up about how she discovered her inner strength after two major life events occurred within a fortnight.The 36 year old welcomed her baby girl, Annabella, in November 2022, but also tragically lost her father, Stephen, to a brain tumour just 10 days later.
She described this period as the most challenging she's ever faced, but also a time of self-discovery. Speaking to Women's Health UK, Mollie shared: "My dad was the healthiest person I knew.
