Molly-Mae Hague complains about £86k motorhome holiday that left her 'having a breakdown' - after her sister Zoe's Bali trip fiasco
The influencer and businesswoman, 26, recently went on a family trip with Tommy and their two-year-old the Isle of Man.
But in her latest YouTube vlog Molly-Mae opened up about some of the more difficult parts of the holiday including navigating travel delays with a toddler.
It comes after Molly-Mae's sister Zoe was recently mocked by fans for leaving Bali after just 48 hours because it didn't live up to her expectations.
Molly-Mae's trip comes after last month Tommy, also 26, insisted that Bambi shouldn't be 'spoilt' with 'five star hotels and business class flights' when they go away on family holidays - and so decided to buy a motorhome for more wholesome trips.
The boxer ended up purchasing a swanky Elddis Avalon 255 which retails at £86,995.
But Molly-Mae documented the trip in her video as she explained: 'Tommy has bought a motorhome and we spent our first weekend in the motorhome this weekend.
'Obviously, being us, we went in feet first and decided to go to the Isle of Man.
'Tommy's family were spending the weekend in the Isle of Man. I was feeling spontaneous so we literally booked the ferry to the Isle of Man an hour before we needed to leave.
'We'd never used the motorhome before, we needed to pack it up, sort Bambi, I just had this wave of 'you only live once, have a bit of fun'.
'Bambi doesn't need to be so perfectly routine every day, she's not a newborn anymore.
'I've got so stuck in my ways with the fact that her routine is her routine and I don't really steer away from it.
'I'm not gonna feel bad for that because that is what works for me and that is what works for Bambi and Tommy, so that's fine.'
She then added of when things started to go wrong: 'So anyway, booked the ferry, packed the motorhome up and nearly didn't make the ferry but that's another story and then there was a two hour delay.
'This ferry, which was already gonna get us in at 11:30pm, which was already severely triggering me because Bambi goes to bed at 7pm, was not fine. It was giving me a prime example as to why the routine works for us.
'It was one of those moments where strangers come up to you and are like 'can I help? Is there anything I can do?'
'She was screaming that much for four hours straight.
'The boat basically had a malfunction and it wouldn't move for like two hours so we had a huge delay.
'She was so, so, so overtired and overstimulated - Bambi is so routine, she is the opposite of flexible.'
And when they arrived things continued to go downhill, as she said: 'We managed to get to the Isle of Man at 1:30am in the morning.
'We didn't know where we were, what we were doing, we were going to a different campsite to Tommy's family. It was just a lot.
'We had to make our bed out of this sofa, I was like 'I'm really out of my depth, I'm struggling'.
'The next day, Bambi was so tired, she was just screaming, literally screaming, so, so unhappy.
'Me and Tommy were looking at each other like 'what were we thinking?. I was having a breakdown.'
She went on in the vlog: 'Bear in mind this motorhome of Tommy's is his pride and joy, he's obsessed with it…I kid you not, the next day he was like 'I'm selling it, the minute we get home I'm putting it up for sale, I hate this motorhome.'
'It wasn't even the motorhome's fault. For our first time, stupid move.'
They even considered getting an early ferry home but once they met up with Tyson Fury and his wife Paris, things improved.
She said: 'We were actually going to get on a ferry that day to come home because we were so out of our depth, we couldn't do it.
'But then, when we met up with them, we were like 'no, we're gonna stick it out, we can do this.'
Last month Tommy reflected on some of their lavish trips away saying he recently bought the campervan so they can have more 'normal' holidays.
Speaking to Eddie Hall on his podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Beast, Tommy said: 'Having a daughter, Bambi, is everything in my life. She's what I work for. She's what I fight for.
'I don't even buy anything for myself anymore. It's all going away. Today's world is tough because you don't wanna spoil your children, but then it's hard to not, in a way.
'I've just bought – and it's coming in two weeks – a massive RV type thing. I just said to myself, 'She can't take business class flights every time, that ain't the real world.'
'I didn't go on a plane until I was 17! It was a Flybe flight and the propeller nearly broke. But Bambi's got more air miles than me now, and she's two and a half.'
He added: 'I want her to know the meaning of normal, which is, you know, a nice camping holiday, driving to the lake.
'Not staying in five star hotels, not going business class flights, not doing that sometimes - and that's okay.
'Yeah, so I think she's getting to an age now where she's understanding more, and that as a father I introduce them sort of holidays, it's very important.'
Molly-Mae's latest vlog also comes after her sister Zoe came under fire for complaining about a recent trip too.
Molly-Mae's influencer sister was recently mocked by fans for leaving Bali after just 48 hours because it didn't live up to her expectations.
Instead she and her husband Danny made a last minute decision to fly to Dubai instead after Zoe, 28, took to social media to admit 'something wasn't quite right'.
The fitness influencer had planned the trip to Indonesia with her husband Danny to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.
And despite staying in a huge sea view room at the Radisson Blu, a five-star hotel, they decided to leave early and jet to Dubai instead.
Zoe explained that Bali looks better on social media than in real life, as influencers make it look luxurious, despite it being a developing country.
In a YouTube video, Zoe told the camera: 'Since landing in Bali, something for us wasn't quite right.
The fitness influencer had planned the trip to Indonesia with her husband Danny to celebrate their first wedding anniversary
'We came here with high expectations because we had seen on social media that everyone was having such a lovely time. Lovely places to eat and beaches, and lovely gyms and coffee shops.
'But I don't think the reality of Bali is shown much at all, and I do think it is down to a lot of influencers posting the more luxury side of things.'
She added: 'Before joining the army, I spent five months travelling South East Asia. I did Thailand, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, I did a lot and spent time in these countries. But there is something very different about Bali.
'We got told Uluwatu where we are now is one of the best places to go, so if this is one of the better places, I'm not sure where the other places are like.
'I wasn't going to sit down and say anything, but people want to know.'
Danny then joined the video and said: 'You either go on holiday to travel and experience culture or you want to go away and relax.'
Zoe continued: 'Yeah, and we could have got a flight tomorrow as today is our anniversary, but time is precious and we just want to get out, and why delay it.
'We missed the mark, maybe we didn't do our own research, maybe it is our own fault. I did a lot of research though.
'I think it is just personal preference, and our preference was that this isn't for us, and we are making the executive decision to go enjoy our anniversary somewhere we know that we love and can relax and can drink the water.'
Fans were divided in the comment section, with many claiming they loved Bali and asking for specific reasons why she didn't like it.
'I find this really surprising seeing as you travelled this part of the world. Everywhere there is like this - the 5* resorts are social media worthy but ultimately it's a developing area of the world and lots of the people there live in poverty.';
'That is such a shame you didn't have a good experience:( Bali is a truly magical place with incredible people! But it is a poor country and I think people forget that and expect it to be like Dubai when that isn't the reality. Hope you have a good time in Dubai.';
'I'm interested to know what exactly you didn't like about it? You didn't really go into specifics? I travelled there last year and loved it!';
Others agreed with Zoe, adding: I'm just home from backpacking Australia, Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and I can hands down agree with the insta vs reality with Bali!! We tried to enjoy it as much as we could but it is 100% portrayed sooo differently by influencers,'
And despite staying in a huge sea view room at the Radisson Blu, a five-star hotel, they decided to leave early and jet to Dubai instead
'Why is everyone hating? Bali isn't for everyone, they arrived and didn't like it? Why would they waste time & money somewhere they're not enjoying?'
In 2019, Zoe's sister Molly-Mae shared with fans that she 'fell in love with Bali' as she shared a series of stunning snaps to Instagram.
Zoe later shared a photo dump on Instagram, showcasing her lavish Dubai trip after leaving Bali.
The couple stayed at Atlantis The Royal, with rooms starting from around £290 per night during July, which is considered low season. In peak season, rooms can cost £1,570 a night.
Zoe shared on Instagram: 'Danny surprised me with a stat at @atlantistheroyal which I couldn't believe!!!

Rosallion a massive drifter for the Sussex as Field Of Gold jockey confirmed with Colin Keane banned from Goodwood
SUPERSTAR miler Rosallion is a big drifter for next week's Sussex Stakes at Goodwood - as Field Of Gold's jockey was finally confirmed. Richard Hannon's multiple Group 1 winner has gone right out on the Betfair Exchange. 1 He was second-fav for the £1million contest next Wednesday but has been usurped by Aidan O'Brien's Henri Matisse. Rosallion's price on the Exchange has ballooned from 5 (4-1) to 9 (8-1). Hannon had said the 7f City Of York at next month's Ebor Festival could be on the cards. But he also said the 1m Prix Jacques Le Marois (worth around £200,000 more than the City Of York) is a strong possibility too. It's very unlikely he would do both given they are less than a week apart, with the French race on August 17 and City Of York August 23. Rosallion's drift came as William Buick was confirmed for the ride on Field Of Gold, who is already as short as 4-9 for the Sussex. Juddmonte's retained rider Colin Keane - who would have been on the top three-year-old - is banned from Goodwood after breaking whip rules. More to follow.

Anger as Britain's most controversial allotment wins right to stay despite opposition from Chris Packham and Deborah Meaden
Britain's 'most controversial allotment' has won the right to stay where it is despite outrage from eco-celebs like Springwatch host Chris Packham and Dragons' Den star Deborah Meaden. The site on the edge of Bristol has been labelled as the 'world's first no-dig allotment', but it received criticism from locals as well as the eco-conscious celebrities. 'No dig' means growers plant into topsoil which has been placed on top of the ground so no soil is dug up, broken or turned. It has been in a lengthy battle for Bath-based Roots Allotment two years after setting up on a field next to the A369 in Abbots Leigh in April 2023. Despite more than 3,400 people signing a petition against the site, which borders two Sites of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI), it was awarded retrospective planning permission for three parts of the 600-plot allotment field. Some claimed there had been a lack of consultation on the ecology of the land and concerns for local wildlife. Speaking when they first moved in, Dragons' Den's Meaden, who lives in Somerset, argued the site is 'very sad' for local wildlife and 'devastating' for the 'precious meadow habitat'. Taking to X on the allotment's opening day on September 18, she wrote: 'Butterfly numbers have crashed in the UK and Roots Allotments have taken 25 acres of precious meadow habitat, and celebrate with a party. It has been in a lengthy battle for Bath-based Roots Allotment two years after setting up on a field next to the A369 in Abbots Leigh in April 2023 'They could go (and) do much good in the right area but we can't keep taking from a nature who can't defend herself. Very sad.' Last May, Meadon backed the concept of Roots Allotment but argued it was using the wrong location. She wrote: 'Totally agree on farmed land and Farmers are absolutely going to be at the forefront of restoring Nature but that does not apply to already rich meadowland being bulldozed with alien soils being dumped on it. 'I love the concept of roots allotments but they need to choose their sites actually add and regenerate.' Naturalist and wildlife presenter Chris Packham TV wildlife also criticised the location and safety of the site, and took issue with the allotment company redeveloping 'species rich grassland with breeding skylarks'. Taking to Facebook in May last year, Packham wrote: 'Increasing access to green spaces is a must- and allotments are a great way to do that, and more. 'But when you're a venture capital-backed firm developing on species rich grassland, with breeding skylarks... you're in the wrong Roots Allotments. 'Avon and Somerset Police have ordered work to stop on part of the site due to breeding red-listed skylarks- great. But the whole project needs scrapping.' However, North Somerset Council's planning committee voted last week to finally award retrospective planning permission. The Roots Allotments team were given permission for two shipping containers in the field to be used as a tool shed and site office, CCTV cameras, an access track, gravel hardstanding and a sign on the main A369 road. Roots Allotment group says they are answering a 'much needed' allotment crisis and are providing an opportunity for people to sustainably grow their own food. One of the founders, Christian Samuel, said the group had 'flipped the script' - saying their allotments on the site were allegedly the only place where skylarks were feeding. He also added that their 'no dig' method had restored the soil and suppressed carbon into the ground. 'We believe this council has far more pressing issues to resolve than preventing people from growing vegetables in a sustainable manner,' Mr Samuel added. 'At the end of the day everyone, it is just vegetables.' But parish councillor Jenny Stoodley, who lives in Leigh Woods, disagreed. She said: 'The introduction of urban man-made structures such as cars, shipping containers and CCTV in this sensitive green belt location is exactly the kind of encroachment that greenbelt policy is intended to protect against.' Councillors on the planning committee eventually voted seven to three to approve the plans, and a separate planning application covering the sign for the site was approved. Some councillors were left 'disappointed' by the outcome - with Abbots Leigh Parish Council chair Simon Talbot-Ponsonby saying: 'Obviously we are disappointed because it's basically ruined that part of the green belt.' But Christian said the Roots Allotment team, as well as their members, were grateful for the decision. He added: 'There are so many people that need this space - and I'm glad that planning bills are going to come to an end.'
