Malin Andersson rose to fame when she appeared in the line-up of ITV2 series Love Island in 2016. Although she was only in the villa for 24 days, she quickly became a fan-favourite.

After leaving the villa, Malin - who is currently supporting the Stoptober campaign to help people quit smoking - gained a loyal following on social media and spent years using her platform trying to be as 'raw' and 'honest' as possible about her personal life. The star had the support of her fans when she opened up about her struggles and worked to raise awareness on many issues.

In December 2018, Malin gave birth to her first child with boyfriend-at-the-time Tom Kemp seven weeks early. She shared her devastation after her daughter Consy died at four weeks old. Consy was named in tribute to Malin's late mother, who passed away from cancer towards the end of 2017.

Over a year after losing her baby daughter, her ex Tom was jailed for ten months following her accusations of physical and mental abuse shared on Instagram. She shared photos of the bruises on her body but didn't name him. He initially denied all allegations but was jailed for ten months at Aylesbury Crown Court in September 2020 after admitting to assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

In early 2022, Malin was over the moon after welcoming her daughter Xaya - who she shares with her ex Jared. Ever since welcoming her daughter, the star has been sharing candid posts about the realities of motherhood - earning her endless praise from her followers for 'being real'.

The TV personality recently revealed she made the decision to overhaul her life and start a new career path as a life coach for women after she discovered healing. Speaking to the Mirror a month after starting her journey as a life coach, Malin revealed helping others has been extremely 'rewarding'.

"It's so empowering to do and even that I'm struggling to keep up with now I might have to do like group seminars and things," she said. The entire thing is going 'really good' for the star, with Malin adding: "It's more than I thought would be like a lot. So there's like a backlog of people that I can't do, but it's very rewarding."

Expanding on what she does, Malin told us: "Life coaching is due to them being stuck in a rut or going through certain things that happen in life or wanting to change their life for the better. So it's all tailored for the individual completely. Everyone's really different."

During the same chat, Malin discussed the important Stoptober campaign and how it will help people quit smoking. The star, who smoked on and off for around a decade, wanted to stop many times but 'didn't have the right tools'. She quit cold turkey when she fell pregnant and said: "The key is to make sure that you got cool little tools in place. So for me, it was journaling, meditation, and not filling it with other distractions."

Malin Andersson and Bobby Norris are supporting this year’s Stoptober campaign and are encouraging the nation’s smokers to give quitting a go this October. Stoptober is based on evidence showing that if you can make it to 28 days smoke-free, you're five times more likely to quit for good. For free support, search ‘ Stoptober’.
