Malin Andersson receives an email each time someone from \'Love Island\' passes away.

The 26-year-old reality star took part in the ITV2 dating programme in 2016 with Sophie Gradon, who tragically took her own life in 2018 after appearing on the show.

Following several other suicides - including past contestant Mike Thalassitis and host Caroline Flack - ITV bosses send a notice to fellow Islanders to check up on them, but Malin thinks they should be doing more to ease their mental health.

She told Grazia magazine: "Every time someone passes I get an email saying, \'How are you?\' and I think that\'s just shocking."

Similarly, Montana Brown - who grew close to Mike during the third series - is disappointed with the increase in mental health issues the Islanders have suffered since appearing on the show.

She added: "Every single person that I\'m friends with from \'Love Island\' suffers from anxiety or depression - it\'s actually terrifying."

Meanwhile, Malin previously admitted she thought it would be "selfish" to take her own life following the deaths of her daughter and mother.

The reality star was left distraught when baby Consy - who was born with a heart defect - passed away aged just four weeks, and though she\'d spent time when the tot was in intensive care collecting sleeping pills, she ultimately couldn\'t go through with her overdose plan.

Malin - whose mother died of cancer in November 2017 - said: "After Consy died, I locked myself in my apartment for about three weeks. I hadn\'t even grieved properly after my mum\'s death and now Consy too.

"I didn\'t want to see anyone. I was drinking the whole time - and there were times I would grab my sleeping tablets and think, \'Do I join Mum and Consy in heaven or do I stay here?\'

"One day, I decided I just couldn\'t drink anymore. I thought, \'What a waste of a life, a waste of my mum\'s life and of Consy\'s life.\' It felt too selfish to take my own."
