Pippa had a first tumour removed when she was 18 months but after three months it returned.

A statement from the family said: “As a family we are going to fight this again, with all our strength and we will yet again beat this horrendeous disease. Pippa is having to fight extremely hard for her life but she amazes us with her bravery and strength, she always has a smile on her face and tries to enjoy her life as much as she is able to. Trust me she is an inspiration to anyone that meets her.”
