Malin Andersson shows stretch marks on boobs as they remind her of baby daughter

Malin Andersson has proudly shown off the stretch marks on her breasts after reflecting on her painful year of grieving after her baby daughter Consy tragically died in January just weeks after being born.

The 26-year-old, who found fame on the second season of ITV's Love Island , took to Instagram to share a photo of her breasts in a red bikini top as she soaked up the sunshine, as she encouraged her followers to look at all their "'imperfections" and turn them into "something beautiful."

Malin and her then-boyfriend Tom Kemp were left devastated when their daughter Consy was born seven weeks premature in December last year.

She was treated at Great Ormand Street hospital but tragically passed away on January 22.

The star has been memorialising her daughter this month and sharing her grief with her followers.

Taking to Instagram , Malin posted a photo of her breasts in a laced top with stretch marks visible and opened up about how she is trying to turn grief into something beautiful.

She wrote: "I’ve just taken this photo, the sun shining down at me. I was just sat here and I looked down at my breasts. I’ve always known they weren’t ‘perk’ and that’s what lead me to my Brest uplift years ago.

"But I can’t help but feel liberated. These had milk in them, and a year on, more deflated than ever and I feel BLESSED. Blessed to have a beautiful female body which is powerful and can do so many things.

“These stretch marks are beautiful marks and show me that my daughter was around.

"See how I turn my grief into something beautiful. I see everything as an opportunity of growth. I don’t see saggy, marked breasts.

“I see that there was once life in me, and that these had a purpose. And trust me that purpose will be used again.

"Take a note of your body, and reframe your mind, look at all your ‘imperfections’ and turn them into something beautiful."
