Anastacia told a follower it had been a "tough day" with "many tears".

And she also reached out to veteran Love Islander Malin Andersson, who was facing her own day of grief after losing her baby girl just days after giving birth.

"I feel your pain. You think you’ll be ok, then a Tsunami wave comes and slams you against the rocks," Anastacia told her.

"If you're lucky you wake up with the sun on your back to face another day. Much love to you special girl."
