Love Island 2016 star Malin Andersson doesn't seen impressed with the 2019 line-up!

Earlier this year it was reported that Love Island bosses would cast 'all body sizes' however after the2019 cast were revealed a lot of people have criticised the show for the lack of diversity, including former contestant Malin.

The reality star, who tragically lost her baby girl earlier this year, shared an incredibly real photo of herself in a bright green bikini and threw shade at the show by writing alongside it, 'Here’s a teeny bit of diversity, Love Ma x'.

Lots of her followers rushed to praise her for sharing her gorgeous photo, with one person writing, 'My role model. You have literally made me feel so much more comfortable in my own skin. I actually wore a bikini the other day and didn't have a care in the world what people thought. I could never thank you enough 😫'. [sic]

Someone else said:, 'Much-needed! 🙌🏿❤️🍑 The producers seem to have forgotten that the success of reality TV is rooted in the unique quirks of REAL people, not airbrushed kids desperately trying to be clones of each other and with no real ambitions beyond 'Insta fame'. [sic]

Another commented, 'Honestly makes me so happy to see this. ❤️❤️'. [sic]
