After the first batch of I Kissed a Girl episodes arrived on May 5, episodes 5 and 6 dropped on Sunday, May 19. Fans took to X (Twitter<\/a>) to share how Hannah’s story had them “sobbing” as the reality TV<\/a> star explained her brother was born with a serious health condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

I Kissed a Girl: Hannah’s brother had Edwards Syndrome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hannah, who hails from Glasgow, Scotland, explains on I Kissed a Girl how she sadly lost her brother, Adam, when she was 12 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She explained to her co-star, Amy: “The day after my brother passed away I had a gymnastics competition. So, my brother was called Adam… He caught pneumonia.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hannah said her aunt took her to the hospital one day, and she was expecting it to be a routine visit, “because he was always in and out of the hospital.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, she said: “My mum and dad said they were staying the night with him,” the next day they told her: “Adam’s gone.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She told Amy: “It was really traumatic.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam was born with Edwards Syndrome: “A rare and serious condition which many babies do not survive from their first year,” writes<\/a> BBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per<\/a> NHS, “A baby with Edwards’ syndrome has 3 copies of chromosome number 18 instead of 2. This affects the way the baby grows and develops. Having 3 copies of chromosome 18 usually happens by chance, because of a change in the sperm or egg before a baby is conceived.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“At the time of his death Adam was the longest-living person with the condition in Scotland,” writes BBC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was given two weeks to live but sadly passed before he turned 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Adam was a huge part of Hannah\u2019s life and the whole family cherish the years they have had with him in their lives.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
