Amir Khan’s wife shares cute snap of daughter… after he forgets something VERY important

Anyone else ever forget this information?!

Amir Khan’s adorable daughter Lamaisah has been missing her dad while he’s in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

The boxer’s wife, Faryal Makhdoom, shared a super cute update to Snapchat showing the three-year-old getting excited after spotting a photo of her famous dad in the house.

Faryal’s sweet snaps came after Amir admitted forgetting his own daughter’s birthday during a chat on last night’s show.

Faryal posted a clip to Snapchat on Tuesday in which she can be heard asking Lamaisah where her daddy is.

The little girl responds excitedly by pointing at a photo of her and Amir, which is perched on a nearby windowsill. Aww!

Amir said on yesterday’s show that he’s really missing his daughter and wife, who is pregnant with their second child.

Speaking to Jennie McAlpine, he said: “My little girl is so far away. I don’t even know if they’re in the UK or America. My wife is from New York.

“They were in the UK when I left but she said she might go see her mum and dad. I said, ‘Go! Take the little one! Have a trip as you’ll be bored anyway [while I’m away].'”

However, Amir then let slip he can’t quite remember his daughter’s birthday… oops!

“She’s three,” he told Jennie, who is also missing her own son, Albert, also three.

Amir continued: “She’s turning four in a couple of months… in the summer. Summer time. Like June. June 23, I think.

“I don’t remember my own birthday, man. I forget a lot. I forget!”

Jennie privately said later in the Bush Telegraph: “Amir sometimes isn’t quite on the money! He does forget people’s names and what day it is.”

Well, Amir got his daughter’s birthday wrong… she was actually born in May!

Viewers took to social media to express their astonishment that the Olympic medallist couldn’t remember his only child’s birth date.

Meanwhile, Amir received a message from wife Faryal on last night’s show, after some of the campmates won emails from home in a task.

The couple married in 2013 but briefly split earlier this year, before rekindling their relationship ahead of Amir’s jungle stint.

Faryal’s email read: “Hey babe, first of all I want to say how proud we all are of you. The family and I get together every day to watch you.

“Lamaisah loves cheering you on when she sees you on telly. Anytime anyone asks her where daddy is, she replies, ‘Daddy’s in jungle!’ She’s your biggest fan. I’m so proud you faced your fears in these trials. I have to say, your screams were the funniest. I have made it my ringtone for every time you call me!

“We love you with every bit of our heart, Faryal and Lamaisah.”

I’m A Celebrity airs nightly on ITV.
