‘My baby girl is a little miracle'

We couldn’t be happier for former Love Island star Malin Andersson, who recently announced her pregnancy in a heartfelt Instagram post.

And to celebrate her news, the 28-year-old invited new along to her fabulous gender reveal party in the garden of her Cambridgeshire home.

The gender was revealed to 80 guests, including fellow ex-Islander Jess Hayes, 28, and a host of Disney Princesses.

The exciting moment came when a plane flew over blowing out pink smoke, confirming Malin is expecting a baby girl.

“When I saw the smoke it brought up loads of emotions,” she tells us. “It confirmed it was real, in a weird way.”

This is the reality star and motivational speaker’s first child with boyfriend Jared, who prefers to remain out of the limelight. And to say it’s a welcome joy in her life is an understatement.

Malin, who is 15 weeks pregnant, has kept her loyal followers updated on the trauma she’s suffered since leaving the ITV2 show’s villa in 2016.

Her beloved mother sadly passed away following a battle with cancer in 2017. And 15 months later her first baby daughter, who she named Consy after her mum, lost her life a month after arriving into the world seven weeks early. To add to her heartbreak, Malin then went through a miscarriage and suffered domestic abuse at the hands of her ex, Tom Kemp.

So it’s no surprise she’s a little bit apprehensive about this pregnancy.
