“But yeah, she just basically had - her eye was swollen and she got an infection, and so obviously we just kind of erred on the side of caution, took her to the doctors, the GP, and they referred her.”

JB, who was a runner up on Strictly last year, added: "For me obviously it’s tough, because I was on the road at the time, travelling, and you’re always sort of wondering ‘Should I be coming home, do I need to come and support…?'

"Under normal circumstances that’s something I’d obviously be right there with Chlo, we’d all be there together for our daughter. But she was okay, she just obviously needed to have urgent care and attention, and she got that."

JB's wife Chloe, who is also a trained dancer, broke the news of Chiara’s illness last month. She shared photos of the young girl getting IV antibiotics and then being monitored by a professional at home.

She said: "When you get that gut feeling you can't shift, this is your reminder to ALWAYS listen to it! I ended up taking Kiki to A&E a few days ago as I wasn't happy with her eye, she didn't have a stye she ended up having Periorbital Cellulitis and needing IV Anti-biotics straight away to get it under control."

Chloe went on to thank the for caring for Chiara, adding that staff are "living angels".
