Geordie Shore alum Holly Hagan-Blyth lost her half-sister, Darci, aged 19 in October 2025

Darci died aged 19 of organ failure, 48 hours after she accidentally overdosed on crystal MDMA and suffered two cardiac arrests during a night out at Manchester's Warehouse Project nightclub in October 2025.

And Holly, 33, keeps Darci's memory alive by reminding her and 33-year-old husband, footballer Jacob Blyth's two-year-old son Alpha-Jax just how special she was.

Holly wrote in Fabulous magazine: "I've been trying to speak to Alpha-Jax about Auntie Darci in an age-appropriate way so he remembers her.

"I explained she's in heaven with Mufasa - as he'd been watching The Lion King. When he's old enough, I hope we can use her story to educate him about drugs.

"Darci was such a good auntie to him. She would have spoiled the new baby rotten, too."

Holly - who is expecting to give birth next month - has not had grief counselling, but she talks to Darci following a visit to a medium.

The Geordie Shore alum explained: "A couple of months after Darci died, I spoke to a medium. I've always been a bit of a believer, but now I'm convinced.

"My sister came straight through to the medium, who said Darci spends a lot of time at my house, so now I make sure I speak to her so she knows that I know she's still around."

Holly was hurt after cruel trolls quizzed her on why she was posting on social media just days after Darci's death.

The reality TV star explained: "I continued to work, so my mum and stepdad didn't have to, but in reality, I was posting pre-recorded posts on social media.

"I got a few nasty comments saying, 'Your sister just died, and you're posting this. It doesn't feel right.'

"But when I explained my rationale, they understood."

Holly admitted that Alpha-Jax and her unborn baby - whom the star told Darci about at five weeks pregnant - helped her family through their grief.

She said: "I'm due to give birth next month, and this pregnancy, as well as my two-year-old son Alpha-Jax, gave me a push to be strong.

"It helped my parents in their grief, too - they've said they wouldn't be here if it wasn't for their grandkids keeping them going.

"My husband, Jacob, has been such a support, too - I don't know what I would have done without him."
