Allen’s grandmother passes away with leukaemia

Jun 6 2023

Love Island Malta contestant Allen received the tragic news that his grandmother has passed away after having been diagnosed with leukaemia.

Allen received the tragic news that his beloved grandmother had received the diagnosis before he entered the villa and that he dreaded the scenario wherein anything would happen to her.

Unfortunately, this came to pass, with the contestant receiving the news whilst in the villa.

The other contestants comforted Allen as he dealt with the news, with his villa couple-contestant Chelsea also doing so despite the two going through the rough patch. Albeit being a devastating news for Allen, the moment showed the bond the contestants developed during their time in the villa as they came together to support him during such a time.

On behalf of MaltaDaily, we wish Allen and his family the sincerest of condolences.
