Malin tragically lost her daughter Consy when she was just one month old, after she was born seven weeks premature in December 2018.
The TV personality had to undergo an emergency cesarean as her daughter suffered from an irregular heartbeat and reduced movement.
Consy was treated in intensive care at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital but sadly passed away at just one month old in January 2019.
She shared her daughter with Tom Kemp, but has since candidly spoken out about the physical and emotional abuse she endured at the hands of her ex-boyfriend, 29.

Malin previously revealed that she wrestles with trauma and PTSD after the abusive relationship left her mental health and self-esteem in tatters.
She has even admitted that she is convinced the physical abuse she suffered contributed towards the tragic death of Consy.
In October, she revealed that Kemp ‘slapped and punched’ her while she was six months pregnant, which she believes impacted her child’s health.
Speaking about the abuse, Malin told The Sun: ‘When Tom threw me about, I’d tense my stomach so much, I could feel her pausing inside me. The doctors didn’t understand what happened to her, but I know in my heart.

‘The emotional abuse was always worse. It would be: “Urgh, you’re so fat… oh no, you’re beautiful, I’m joking”.
‘He’d call me a “s**g, a fat b****h’ and a ‘w***e” and he’d spit at me and spray deodorant at me.’
She said that while Kemp has shown no remorse, she envisions herself forgiving him when she meditates, adding that she feels sorry for him and hopes that he gets help.
Kemp was jailed by an Aylesbury Crown Court judge for 10 months in September after he admitted to assaulting Malin.
