Love Island’s Malin Andersson has suffered a string of intensely emotional events that would break the toughest of people. She lost her beloved mother, Consy, to cancer in 2017, in 2019, her month-old daughter, named after her mum, died after being born seven weeks prematurely and the following year she revealed her ex-boyfriend and Consy’s father, Tom Kemp, had abused her throughout their relationship.

But now, in an exclusive interview with new, the 30-year-old reveals there’s still room in her heart for love and that she’s even ready to “find a husband”. “Everybody wants to fall in love, don’t they?

I’m ready to meet somebody and I have faith that I will,” she tells us when we meet for a chat over Zoom. “I’ve always wanted to end up with a nice guy.” Refusing to allow her harrowing past to stop her from moving forward, Malin, now mum to 18-month-old daughter Xaya, admits extreme loneliness has spurred her on to “find the one”. “Being a single mum is overwhelming,” she says. “I get really lonely at night.

As soon as Xaya goes to bed, I can’t leave the house. I can’t just nip out for a meal or a coffee unless I have a babysitter, and they’re hard to find. “There have been a lot of times when I’ve cried and wished my mum was there,” she adds.
