Just over a week later, Malin – who was left devastated in November 2017 when her mum passed away after being diagnosed with cancer for the third time – asked her fans for their “prayers” as Consy continued to fight for her life in intensive care.

She wrote: “All your prayers, messages, healing.. it means the world to us. Baby Consy is still in intensive care, and fighting each day.
