Carol penned: Happy Mother’s Day ❤️❤️❤️ Some pics with my lovely Mum who died in 2017 surrounded by her family. The first photo is from Mother’s Day 2017 just a week after she’d been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She died 2 months later.
‘Mum and I were very close. She had to bring us up by herself in poverty and I was always her baby. My brother Anton and sister Trixie were older than me.
‘When she remarried my “Dad” she separated from him a few times and would ran away (with me) a number of times, including once to Billy Smarts Circus when I was 9!!!
‘Mum and I came as a team. When she left by “Dad” for good when I was 20, we were effectively homeless (I was in a BandB and she had a room in a house with students), so we moved north to Leeds where between us we could afford to live, and buy a little house in 1982 in Headingley.
‘Three weeks later she saw an article about a new TV show being made In Leeds called Countdown and it was go out on a new TV channel called Channel 4….and they needed someone to answer the numbers game! She wrote to the producer as if she was me and then FORGED MY SIGNATURE!!!! And that’s how I started on telly.’

She continued: ‘Mum always lived with me through my adult life…through my marriage and through everything, either next door or in our house.
‘So she helped to bring up my children. I employed her from when I was 25 years old to run my office. She was my everyday until she wasn’t.
‘But even now it’s like she’s still there as she lives on in my children too. Happy Mother’s Day Mum xx’.
Malin Andersson also reflected on the loss of her mother on the holiday, while also voicing the difficulty of Mother’s Day for her, after losing both mother and her daughter Consy in quick succession.
The former Love Island star, 31, lost her baby daughter Consy in January 2019 when she died a month after she was born, soon after Malin’s mother Consy-Gloria died following a battle with cancer.
Malin – who also lost her father to cancer – welcomed another daughter, Xaya, in January 2022 but split from the baby’s father Jared soon after she arrived.
She shared several photos, including several of Xaya, two, a throwback snap with her mum and picture of Consy’s’ funeral booklet.
Malin explained how Mother’s Day is ‘bittersweet’ for her as it ‘highlights my grief’ and criticised the commercial holiday, saying every day should be a celebration of motherhood.

In the lengthy accompanying caption, she wrote: ‘I don’t believe in Mother’s Day.. I’ll be honest.
‘It’s a very bittersweet feeling of eternal love and loss. I see it as a day for highlighting my grief. Yet we must celebrate it with chocolates gifts and cards, and for those that don’t.. where do we fit in?
‘I became a mother for the first time when my mother died 6 months prior. I then felt like I had the title of ‘mum’ taken from me too a year after that. Baby Consy was born, to then die a month later.
‘Was it something about the word ‘mother’ I didn’t quite understand? You see to me, it’s many things. It’s being a figure of love which can show in many different forms – such as my sister who steps in like a mum, my best friend Mel who gives me motherly advice.. Erin with all the knowledge and heart – just as a mother would do.
‘When we step back and understand that when we haven’t got what society deem’s a mother here in flesh.. we can look outward to what produces a motherly feeling as a whole.
‘And that’s what I look for now. I have it in different forms – although it will never bring my mum back.. the feelings of grief are somewhat comforted through what I do have.
‘How about being a mum to Xaya you may say – now this title I take quite strongly with my head up and shoulders back.
‘This beautiful girl taught me the meaning of feminine power… but most importantly she gave me a purpose – to be her mother.
‘And if we want to strip it back a bit more – how do I find my own identity in all of this.. as surely I’m not just a mother. I’m Malin.
‘I have many different roles that I act on in my daily life.. i have become more than just a mother through giving birth – I have found ME.’
Malin concluded: ‘For those that have lost a child, mother.. parent alone, have a step-mother or are a step-mother.. look at the beautiful roles you play in the life you live – and how much of an impact you have on others around you.
‘You beautiful soul – we don’t need a day of marketing called Mother’s Day, every day is a celebration of our superhuman strength.’
