GLADIATORS star Steel has shared a heartbreaking new video of his son before he passed away.
Zack George, who plays Gladiators’ Steel, recently revealed that his newborn son – whom he welcomed in March – had passed away.
The 34-year-old, from Leicester and his wife Samantha welcomed their baby boy named Leo George on March 26.
Leo was born at just 23 weeks and passed away 13 days later.
Steel has now shared a video of him cradling his son, while opening up in a moving caption.
“I now see strength in a different way,” the Gladiators star said.
“People would ask how strong am I and id answer with numbers of my squat, bench press or previous personal bests.
“Now I’d answer that very differently.
“Strength is holding my little precious boy knowing its breaking my heart but mending his,” he concluded.
Fans and friends flocked to the comments section, with Ashley Cain among the people who penned sweet and touching messages.
Ashley suffered the tragic death of his daughter Azaylia with his ex Safiyya Vorajee back in April 2021.
Writing a message to Steel and sending him love and strength, Ashley penned: “Brother, I’m so sorry to hear this news.
“I’m sending you, your partner and your family love, strength, courage and my heartfelt condolences through this devastating time.
“Please know that I am here for you, anytime and anyplace right now.
“And your beautiful boy will be too, surrounding you and watching over you always.
“Rest in eternal paradise little Leo.”
Ashley’s ex Safiyya Vorajee then penned: “A strength we should never have to understand I’m sorry you have to.”
Meanwhile, floods of other people were quick to send their condolences and heartfelt messages.
“Sending thoughts and prayers to your family today,” said one.
Another added: “Sending you all so so much love. You’re in our thoughts and prayers. Sleep in eternal paradise Leo you brave brave lion xx.”
While a third penned: “We’re so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby boy, Leo. Please know that we’re here for you both. Sending you both so much love and gentle hugs xxx.”
