Ordeal: Malin Andersson has been hospitalised due to her asthma for the second time this year and called the NHS ‘amazing’ while receiving treatment
The body-confidence advocate went on to tell her followers: ‘The NHS are amazing’ as she took a photo of her legs covered by a hospital blanket.
This is the second time Malin has been taken to hospital due to her asthma this year.
Back in January, the reality star shared a series of photos to her Stories where said she couldn’t breathe properly.
Malin wrote at the time: ‘A&E when asthma flares up n u can’t breathe properly’.
Following the worrying post, she then revealed she was relieved she had attended the emergency room amid concerns for her breathing.

The news comes after Malin revealed she had been called a ‘p**i’ in the past as she discussed enduring shocking racist abuse while growing up.
The star spoke out about her own experiences in light of the recent events surrounding the tragic death of George Floyd, stating she and her family have faced a lot of racism.
Speaking in her OK! magazine column, Malin went on to say that the bigoted behaviour stems from parents and that it’s up to them to teach their children ‘right from wrong.’

Malin, who is half Swedish and half Sri Lankan, explained that her family grew up in a ‘very white village’ and that they were the only Asian family ‘in the whole town’.
She told that her family, including two older brothers and a sister, were ‘treated differently’, with her brothers being spat at and branded a ‘p**i’ while her sister was called ‘Hitler’ because of her facial hair.
Speaking further about her ordeal, she said: ‘I think being brown and in a very white privileged area, it just didn’t work. I remember being about five years old and I was playing with some friends and a little boy went, “Oh you’re a P**i!”

‘I was just so young and didn’t understand, so I’d ask my mum what it meant and she would get really upset over it. My mum would fight for us a lot and when I got into fights at school over racism, she’d come in every time and be like: “why is this still happening? what’s going on?”‘
The beauty went on to say that though she didn’t ‘act white’, she was still branded a ‘Bounty bar’, which implied she was brown on the outside and white on the inside.
She also told how she was called ‘half-caste’ as she was mixed race and ‘hated’ the term, adding that she would often feel ‘paranoid’ that she would be treated ‘differently’.

And though she got the brunt of bigoted behaviour in her younger years, the star says she still gets racist remarks from the older generation in her care work, adding that one elderly client called her ‘brown girl’ and ‘foreign’.
She added that hearing those comments in the present day makes her feel ‘uncomfortable’ but insists they don’t mean any harm as ‘that’s what they do’.
However, Malin insists that the racist behaviour stems from people’s parents and it’s up to them to ensure that kids learn right from wrong at a young age.
She said: ‘I think now it’s up to parents to teach their kids what is right and what is wrong. Racism stems from the parents definitely, these kids are looking at what they’re saying and doing and they’re copying them.’
