Love Island star reveals she and her daughter had a narrow escape as her car caught fire and BLEW UP in horror motorway incident

Malin Andersson has revealed that she and daughter Xaya had a narrow escape after her car blew up moments after they escaped it.

Taking to her Instagram stories on Monday, the Love Island star, 32, told how smoke began to billow out of her car while she was driving along a dual carriageway with the youngster, two.

Erring on the side of caution, Malin told how she and Xaya rapidly exited the vehicle, only for it to catch fire and blow up just moments later.

Writing a message on her stories, she penned: ‘This morning I was driving with Xaya and my car started smoking out of nowhere.

‘I took me Xaya out and ran down the side of the dual carriageway in time and it blew up and caught fire minutes later.’

The beauty went on to say how she was ‘in shock’ and will be taking some time away from social media, with a pal dealing with all enquiries.

She added: ‘In shock, staying off here and @erintidey will answer emails or anything needed work wise. Me and Xaya are safe and sound.’

The horror motorway incident comes after Malin opened up about one of the darkest times of her life following her famous stint on Love Island – when she ‘used her mum’s inheritance to pay off a huge Botox debt’ in her early 20s.

The reality star sH๏τ to fame on the hit ITV dating show in 2016 but not too long after leaving the villa, she found herself splashing money to fund endless cosmetic procedures.

The make up artist-turned-mental health campaigner was in fact caught up in a vicious ‘cycle’ using different credit cards, until she was hit by a huge bill.

Yet, the ‘addiction’ – as she called it – made her reckless and unreliable, using her mum’s inheritance to pay off her debt after she died from stomach cancer in 2017.

The TV sensation admitted if she didn’t have such money at the time, she wouldn’t know what to do.

‘I wasted all my savings and got payday loans out for Botox and lip fillers in my early twenties. It was addictive and ridiculous,’ Malin admitted speaking to The Mirror.

‘You think those types of treatments are minor – a quick £200 or £300. But I took out loans to pay for them and they were like small pockets of debt. 

‘I wasn’t worried about the money at the time. I didn’t care. It wasn’t like I was spending £10,000 on big surgery. But that’s the dangerous part of getting Botox and filler.’

The internet star reflected: ‘I loved a payday loan. It cost me more to pay it back than what I took out. And then when my mum died, I had to use her money to pay it all off. I got stuck in the cycle.

‘I was young and I didn’t care about the repercussions of what I spent my money on.’

Malin has previously used her social media platforms to talk about her own journey with cosmetic surgery, often issuing warning to her followers and trying to raise awareness.

She has been praised by fans for becoming a vocal campaigner for body confidence, the dark side of fame and the problems with social media since moving into the limelight.
