Toy Show star Saoírse Ruane won over the heart of the nation with her beautiful story back in 2020.
Now her family have shared a “devastating” health update.
Her mother shared on Instagram that the 11-year-old’s cancer has now spread to her other lung.
Sharing a picture of the young girl, her mother Roseanne wrote: “It’s been a week of highs and lows in our household this past 7 days. Starting with a gorgeous surprise family trip to London for the girls, the release of Saoírse’s charity single ‘Sing for Saoírse’ and the excitement and nostalgia of the pending Toy Show tomorrow night.

“Unfortunately along with the excitement we received some devastating news yesterday at Saoírse’s review. It’s been three months since her last review and while her tumour in her left lung is relatively static, yesterdays CT scan shows her cancer has now spread to her other lung.
“This came as a huge shock to us as Saoírse has been doing so well.”
She went on to say: “In just six more days it will be 4 years since her journey with cancer began. 4 diagnosis in 4 years is very hard to take.
“While we are still trying to process this new information, the show must go on.”

She praised her daughter as being the “bravest soul” and that her “one and only request” following the “heartbreaking” news was to put up the Christmas tree.
“So that’s what we are doing, putting up the decorations ahead of tomorrow’s toy show. As always we ask you to continue to pray for our brave resilient girl x.”
