In recent months, she has jetted off to Dubai, Budapest and St. Moritz The former Love Island star previously moaned about "not doing one fun thing" this summer. Speaking to fans in a vlog, the 26-year-old said: "I said to a friend the other day, that I'm going to make it to the end of summer having not done one fun thing." Talking to her sister, she said: "Zoe, I haven't socialised once. "I'm going to get to the end of this summer having not done one social fun thing. "I haven't a life. That's not good is it? "Summer will end and I've not done one fun social thing." Soon after, Molly-Mae's followers clapped back at the star for taking her luxurious life for granted. One person said: 'Why is she always complaining about something? If it's not her, it's her sister. Molly-Mae sobs as she admits Bambi's 'terrible twos' are breaking her & says 'I don't care who tells me I'm out of touch with reality' "How insufferable must it be living with them.'

Molly-Mae said: "I'm trying so so hard to stay positive and have a really nice day but I feel like I need to keep my camera running all day so you can see… every single thing is a huge problem. '[I] can't even get like socks and shoes on'. She added: 'I don't care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff that's going on on TikTok at the minute, I don't care I'm not going to not talk about it.' Things seemed to get too much for the mother and she soon broke down in tears. She sobbed: 'We're at a little local farm near us and Zoe and Bambi have gone in, just to leave me to calm down for a minute.' The millionaire, who lives in a huge £3.5million mansion, desperately hid her eyes with a pair of sunglasses and shook her head as she added: 'I'm sorry, I'm so embarrassed.' 5 Influencer Molly-Mae appeared on Love Island back in 2019 - where she met Tommy Credit: Splash

How Molly-Mae Hague's viral parenting outburst has sparked deep tension with Fury family in-laws as bitter row brews
MULTI-millionaire Molly-Mae Hague built an empire off the back of her real-life relatability on social media - but her unfiltered honesty appears to have backfired following a recent breakdown. We can reveal those close to her partner Tommy Fury claim the 26-year-old's candid views on motherhood have ruffled feathers within his famous boxing family. 10 Molly-Mae Hague broke down in tears this week after her daughter's temper tantrum Credit: YouTube/MollyMae 10 The influencer with her boxer boyfriend Tommy and their daughter Bambi Credit: instagram 10 Dad of six John Fury with son Tommy Credit: PA Just months after the couple got back together following Love Island Tommy's booze battle, tension is said to be brewing over Molly-Mae's public struggles with parenting their daughter Bambi. The two-year-old's temper tantrum this week led reality star Molly to film herself breaking down in tears in despair. The 26-year-old cried 'I'm sorry, I'm so embarrassed' as she opened up about the "huge problems" she faces as a mum of one. But the heartfelt moment seems to have bothered her Irish Traveller in-laws who are more used to the no-nonsense attitude of Paris Fury - the wife of Tommy's boxing legend brother Tyson - who has seven children. A source told The Sun: "Within the Travelling community, having a big family with lots of children is the norm. "Tommy's relatives have been hopeful that he and Molly will have more children after getting back on track. "They care about her so much and are concerned, but also worried about how publicly she's venting about motherhood. "The family are used to Paris's attitude of being able to work, run the house and bring up her seven kids with Tyson without complaint. "Molly voicing how difficult she's finding it is surprising. They've been reaching out to support her through this tough time. "Of course it's natural for Molly to share the good, the bad and the ugly with her fans - no matter what anyone says. Molly-Mae admits real reason she's not filming with Tommy Fury after breaking down in tears on camera "She is determined to open up fully to her followers, whatever the backlash, and encourage the family to see it from her perspective." Molly-Mae has previously said she is 'selfish' and is 'not cut out' to deal with the stresses of parenting. It's in stark contrast to Tommy's sister-in-law Paris who was praised for her resilience in the family's Netflix documentary, At Home with the Furys. Molly‑Mae herself has described the 35-year-old as "wonder woman", having formed a close bond as Fury WAGs. 10 Paris and Tyson Fury with their seven children Credit: Instagram/ parisfury1, 10 Tommy's dad John Fury and his mother Chantal Credit: Splash 10 Half-brothers Tyson and Tommy have different mums Credit: Instagram @tommyfury 10 Paris and Tyson with Molly and Tommy Credit: Instagram Sadly, Paris was left heartbroken in May 2024 when she miscarried her eighth child while six months pregnant, days before Tyson's highly-anticipated fight with Oleksandr Usyk. She had previously revealed plans to have 10 children with her heavyweight champion husband, admitting: "There are times when it's stressful, but I enjoy it. I like that kind of chaotic life." Meanwhile Molly's breakdown over her daughter's "terrible twos" followed furious backlash online about being "out of touch". The businesswoman was accused of 'moaning" after telling fans she's not done one "fun thing" this summer despite jetting off to Dubai, Disneyland Paris and Budapest. Addressing the upset as she sobbed about motherhood, Molly admitted: 'I'm trying so so hard to stay positive and have a really nice day but I feel like I need to keep my camera running all day so you can see… every single thing is a huge problem. 'I can't even get like socks and shoes on'. 10 Molly's openess about the realities of motherhood has ruffled feathers Credit: Instagram 10 She was at the end of her tether this week Credit: YouTube/MollyMae She added: 'I don't care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff that's going on on TikTok at the minute, I don't care I'm not going to not talk about it.' She sobbed: 'We're at a little local farm near us and Zoe and Bambi have gone in, just to leave me to calm down for a minute.' Despite her comments seemingly causing upset, Molly has no intention of censoring herself when it comes to what she posts online. Loving fans have flooded her with messages of support to assure her she's not alone in how she's feeling. One said: "You are amazing. Truly. Please don't ever feel like a failure. You're doing your absolute best, and it shows. You're not alone — so many of us are just trying to survive each day. And that's enough. You're enough." Another added: "You are an amazing mum. All children go through these moments. Plus we have more sensitive days where everything can feel 100 times worse. You are not alone!! You are amazing." Someone else wrote: "Hey Molly, you're doing a great job. Everyone's personality is different and every mum handles their child in different ways. "Some mums wake up enjoying every minute, including the screaming and shouting and some despise it." Molly faced immense pressure to open up about her brief split from Tommy last year after he turned to alcohol to cope while injured from boxing. 10 Molly took Tommy back after his relationship with alcohol caused their split Credit: Instagram The Sun revealed the pair rekindled at a New Year's Eve party at Manchester United footballer Luke Shaw's home before Molly spoke out about their troubles weeks later in her Prime Video documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind It All. Our source added: "Molly is always unapologetically herself. "She's got a thick skin and can deal with what people throw at her. It's more important to Molly that she's authentic about how she's dealing with being a mum. "She's been through a lot in the past year and is just focused on her family. "Molly loves Bambi more than anything and who knows what the future will hold about having more kids." The Sun has reached out to Molly and Tommy's reps.

Spectator Competition: All grown up
For Competition 3410 you were invited to imagine a celebrated character from a children's book in later life. There were a lot of entries for this one, most of them excellent, and many of them pretty bleak – including Tiny Tim becoming Jack the Ripper. A possibly controversial policy of allowing only one winning entry per children's author made for too many near-misses to list – but the £25 vouchers go to the following. Although the charges against her were dropped, the gluing of the council leader to his chair in protest against library closures brought Matilda Wormwood's career as a librarian to an end. She was now trying publishing, which meant arguing with Mr Molly of Molly, Coddle and Gayne. The firm had just accepted Miss Honey's misery memoir ('Child abuse is still profitable,' said Mr Gayne), but Matilda and Mr Molly were at loggerheads over editing. 'We must change the word 'fat',' he said. 'But it's what the author wrote,' protested Matilda. 'There's no room for body-shaming here,' said Mr Molly. 'A fact's a fact,' retorted Matilda. 'But children must be protected from such negative comments.' 'Children can jolly well look after themselves. People can say what they like.' 'Even hate speech?' asked Mr Moly. 'Would you publish a children's author who was anti-Semitic?' 'Oh, I'm sure that could never happen,' said Matilda. Nicholas Hodgson Fifty today so it's time to take stock; Much as he'd like to, he can't stop the clock. Climate change, warfare and losing his hair: Christopher Robin is weighed down with care. Working from home, so lost touch with his mates. Social life only Deliveroo plates. Ex now remarried, their children have flown. Christopher Robin lives all on his own. If he could pray – but there isn't a God, Banished by Dawkins, who thought praying odd. Netflix and Sky might console him, and then Bracing himself to face Newsnight again. His doctor tells him to visit the gym; Two seconds' thought says it isn't for him. Thinking of all the achieving he's missed, Christopher Robin resolves to get pissed. D.A. Prince My lived experience has led me to a career as a child psychologist specialising in fantasy/reality distinction. Children with this psychosis struggle to perceive the divide between the real and the non-real. They often cast themselves as heroes in bold adventures, rescuing people from burning buildings, apprehending burglars, performing circus tricks. They may attribute to themselves super-human powers, claim dialogue with mystical creatures and assign exotic roles to their parents such as buccaneer, angel. Their maladaptive dreaming becomes so absorbing it severely impairs their concentration. Attention deficit disorders are common in this cohort. Many are school refusers. With intensive therapy they may develop the ability to regulate their aberrant imagination. This process is made more difficult if their fantasies are enabled by their principal caregiver, a psychopathology with which I can identify. Distinguishing truth from fiction was a key milestone in my own recovery. Read my inspiring story at Sue Pickard Remember Franklin Hyde, that dud, who found his fun in smearing mud? Despite his uncle's kindly thrashing, he still thought dives in dirt were smashing, and now his mum, poor Mrs Hyde, wishes her filthy son had died, (like many did in Belloc's verse), for what became of him was worse! Children who dive in dirt and grime, and love to swim in muck and slime, and swill like pigs in all that's rank, harken to what became of Frank: the man became a journalist! If hearing this, you still insist on sludge and slop and slime, please listen: he then became a politician! Matt Quinn (Belloc's Frankin Hyde) Are you there, God? It's me, Margaret, obviously. Remember me asking for a bigger bust? I wanted to be normal. Now I'm fricking menopausal, God! After three kids I can't find a big enough bra and they're nearly down to my knees. I once worried about choosing either the Jewish or Christian religion. Now one child's a Buddhist, one's a Wiccan and my youngest is a Trump supporter. Nancy's onto her third husband and fourth therapist. I suffer hot flashes rather than hot crushes. Gretchen shamed me on social media by recommending Botox. Instead of loafers without socks, I wear my pyjamas and dressing-gown until midday. I want to lose my brain fog and fit into my clothes, but I can't fit all the candles on my birthday cake. The Pre-Teen Sensations are now the Post-Midlife Lunatics. Screw being a woman, God. I want to be 13 again. Janine Beacham It was a lovely day. It was Noddy's birthday. He was 50 today. He would visit his best friend Big Ears. He would invite him to his party. They would have a gay time. Then he remembered. Big Ears was in gaol. 'Historical offences,' they said. The little nodding man didn't know what they meant. He would invite Mr Plod. Then he remembered. Mr Plod was taken to the home after his nervous breakdown. Policemen didn't go out anymore. They used computers. Mr Plod couldn't learn to use them. Tessie Bear and Dinah Doll. But Tessie Bear was too busy being mayor of Toytown. Dinah Doll was also busy. She was building a skyscraper even though she was a girl. He would have to ask his friends from another book. He would invite George and her wife. She will like that. Her famous cousins don't talk to her. Ralph Goldswain No. 3413: Category error J.G. Ballard wrote 'The Assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy Considered as a Downhill Motor Race'.
