Malin Andersson paid tribute to her late mum and daughter in an emotional Mother’s Day post on Sunday.
Alongside an image of her first child in an incubator, the Love Island star, 28, admitted she ‘misses them more than anything’ in the heart-breaking tribute.
The mental health campaigner lost her mother, Consy-Gloria, to stomach cancer aged 65 in November 2017, and her baby girl, who was named after her nan, died from complications as a result of being born premature in January 2019.

TV star Malin wrote: ‘Happy Mother’s Day. To those that don’t think that you’re a mum, you are. You always will be.
‘To those that have lost their mother – I feel your pain today & every day. Remember to think of those around you that may not be celebrating today.
‘Today is difficult for me even though I am ‘strong’.. so never presume. Miss my mum and daughter more than anything ..’ (sic)
Earlier this month, the influencer discussed her suicide attempt after her one-month-old daughter tragically passed away.

The reality star said she hit ‘rock bottom’ following the death of her baby and felt like she ‘didn’t have a purpose’.
In a moving interview with The Sun, Malin spoke about how at her ‘lowest point’ she woke up in A&E after attempting to take her life.
She shared: ‘I lost essentially all the love I ever had in my life in one hit. I was at my lowest point. There was nothing else I could do so I just surrendered.
‘I hit rock bottom. I didn’t want to be here any more and tried to overdose by taking lots of painkillers.

‘Then I woke up in A&E. I felt like I didn’t have a purpose, I felt like there was no point in me existing.’
Speaking about the agony she went through on the Yahoo podcast White Wine Question Time in June 2019, Malin added: ‘When she passed away, I locked myself away for about three weeks. I just drank wine every night, I didn’t want to speak to anybody.
‘I was too scared to touch her, because of the wires and everything. I was slowly collecting tablets because I was thinking, “If she’s going to go, f***, I’m going too. Because what else have I got to live for here? I haven’t got a family to go back to.”‘
The past few years have been incredibly tough for Malin as she left her abusive boyfriend, who was later jailed, a few months after her loss.
Tom Kemp, 29, Consy’s father, was jailed at Aylesbury Crown Court in September last year, after admitting to actual bodily harm, which left her ‘black and blue’.
Her violent ex was freed from prison after just 12 weeks of his 10-month sentence, forcing Malin to up the security on her London home.
