Malin Andersson strips to lace lingerie for empowering un-airbrushed shoot

She’s an advocate of body confidence and uses social media to urge her followers to embrace their figures.

And Malin Andersson looked sensational as she as she stripped down to her lingerie for an empowering un-airbrushed shoot for underwear brand Boux Avenue on Monday. 

The former Love Island star, 26, looked incredible as she posed in an orange and purple lace bra and pants while posing in front of a pink background.  

The body confidence advocate wore her brunette hair loose in gorgeous waves as she beamed into the camera. 

The shoot was part of Boux Avenue’s Your Shape, Your Style campaign which celebrates diversity and confidence.   

Speaking about the campaign, Malin said: ‘I’ve always spoken openly about body image, and how in my teens all I saw were airbrushed images in magazines – and that I thought it was how I was supposed to be. 

‘I remember it consuming me so much I obsessed day after day with calorie counting and trying to look like a size 0 model – whilst also losing myself in the process… 

‘I’m so glad to be working with Boux Avenue – a brand that represents women of all shapes and sizes. 

‘I share with you my unedited shoot post lock down, perhaps not eating the best or working out that much – but I present to you ME.

‘I stand tall and bold with their colourful new collection and ask you all to LOVE the body you are in.’

Malin’s stunning new shoot comes after she returned from a whirlwind weekend in Tenerife where she worked on de-stressing after feeling anxious amid the coronavirus pandemic.  

Explaining her decision to go abroad, she wrote in a lengthy caption: ‘I think being happy has always been the ultimate goal for us. When we are stripped of that we don’t function how we should.

‘I flew out to Tenerife because my mind needed it. I needed escapism. Living alone in lockdown was difficult, as well as moving etc.. 

‘I kept myself busy every day with mental health lives and work but when the day would end it was just me and my own thoughts. Nothing or nobody could help that but me.’ 

She continued: ‘We can try and be brave, courageous and strong – but before that all we are human. I am human. 

‘I am still on this healing journey, and I’m sharing it all with you guys – to help you heal too. I want you to all know that feeling sad, upset – it’s normal. 

‘We aren’t designed in a way where we should be positive everyday. It just doesn’t work like that… If life was easy it would be boring. But I ask you to all look after number one – and that’s you.

‘To put yourself first more and to be easy on yourself. To do what you gotta do to be happy. 

‘Be selfish with reason and support your own healing journey. – But most of all be unapologetically you. Don’t let anyone strip you of yourself – you deserve to be happy.’

Malin also shared a very candid video of her posing up a storm on Instagram to mark International Bikini Day on Sunday.

The TV personality sizzled as she flaunted her curves in the two-piece and explained that she was on her period so her ‘stomach is like a bloated balloon’.
