‘She was a fighter until the end’: Reality TV star’s (51) unexpected passing leaves fans in disbelief

The sudden passing of a well-known figure has left fans and loved ones grappling with shock and sorrow.

Behind the headlines, a journey of resilience and unexpected twists has unfolded.

As details continue to emerge, the emotional tributes and revelations paint a picture of a life filled with strength, struggle, and love.


Her son, Sebastian, confirmed the heartbreaking news on social media, sharing a series of family photos from over the years.

In his emotional post, Sebastian expressed that his mum had always been 'his best friend.'

He wrote: 'She always had a smile on her face even when times were tough during her recovery process. She was a fighter until the end and is the strongest woman I know.'

Sebastian went on to describe Ban as 'the funniest and coolest mum' who dedicated her life to caring for their family.

'Although she may be gone now, I will do everything I can to make sure she is never forgotten and for her life to be celebrated as it deserves to be,' he added.

The tribute concluded with Sebastian telling his mother he would miss her 'forever,' and that he loved her 'more than life itself.'


Ban had undergone emergency brain surgery following a severe injury sustained during a ski trip last month.

She revealed in a social media post on December 30 that she had been involved in a ski accident on Christmas Eve in Aspen, Colorado.

'At the top of the mountain, I caught a tip and face-planted. Luckily I always wear a helmet, It didn’t seem that bad at the time and I was able to ski to the bottom,' she had shared with her followers.


Ban explained that after developing a headache, she went to a local hospital where a CAT scan revealed a brain bleed.

She was immediately airlifted to a trauma centre for treatment.

In her post, Ban recalled the last thing she remembered was being intubated before waking up after an emergency craniotomy with her husband, Jett Kain, by her side.

Ban had remained hopeful, expressing gratitude for the chance to see the new year, but acknowledged that she had a 'long road of recovery ahead.'

Why do you always take so long in your articles, to mention the subject’s name? In this instance, you talk about “her” son Sebastian (no last name), her full name does not show until several paragraphs well after that ….,
I agree 100%. I kept going over it, thinking I'd missed something!

Haha - I agree and when they did get to the name I was still none the wiser having never heard of her…

me too! The name has to be in the head line so people can decide if theyvwant to read on or not... The rule for newspapers used to be: Headline, brief summary of facts in the first paragraph, further details further down... like in depth information.
 
What a tragedy for that family. However, you need to stop all this hyperbole with your articles. No-one seems to have heard of her so don't know why you use the term "well-known"! Your journalists also need some proper training. Readers didn't even know her name until halfway through the article.

Why, oh why, do you make us read all the way to the end to find out the name of the person referred to in your headlines.
I am becoming so fed up with this way of presenting news to us that I am seriously considering leaving.

I too, have wondered why the name does not appear at the beginning of the article. I have never heard of this woman or her "famous" programme.

It’s a CLICK BAIT technique to get you to read a certain amount of the article and satisfy the advertisers.

Otherwise they would say who it is in the email and you might not read any of it.
It’s a very annoying tactic.

I’m surprised they don’t have the comments below all the other ads at the bottom of the page too. Another annoying tactic.
