Molly-Mae Hague rushed to hospital with 'severe pain in leg' following her flight back to the UK after family holiday with Tommy Fury in Dubai
Molly-Mae Hague has revealed she was rushed to hospital after returning home from Dubai with Tommy Fury and their daughter Bambi.
The Maebe founder, 25, explained in her recent YouTube video on Saturday that she was suffering with 'severe pain' in her leg following the long-haul flight and was told to urgently go to A&E to get it checked.
Molly said she feared she had a blood clot in her leg after feeling a 'sharp, stabbing pain' in her leg which then moved to her knee and ankle.
She said: 'Basically yesterday I thought I had a blood clot and half of today I thought I had a blood clot in my leg.
'Obviously flying home from Dubai I was on the plane for like nearly eight hours… I didn't drink like hardly any water.
'You know when you're in mum mode and you're just not really thinking like you're trying to tame your child.
'I was in so much pain, like it was in the back of my knee, so so strong. Like it didn't feel like a dead leg, it was like a sharp stabbing pain…
'Then it's moving down into my calf, into my ankle, into my foot, like my whole calf is just in so much pain.'

Fat jabs left me in agony – it hurt to even put a bra on but it was worth it to be thin & lose a stone in 4 weeks
BLINKING her eyes open, Megan Houchen felt like she had been hit by a bus - every bone in her body ached. But the 25-year-old hadn't been in a terrible accident - nor did she have one too many the night before - her agonising symptoms were all in the name of losing weight. 6 6 6 The customer service worker says she was hit with flu-like symptoms the day after she started on weight-loss jabs. The 25-year-old began taking Mounjaro last month after struggling to reign in her comfort eating, which saw her weight go up to 11st – overweight for her 5ft 1ins frame with a BMI of 29.1. 'I woke up feeling like absolute rubbish,' Megan, from County Durham, says. 'I felt like I'd been hit by a bus. 'My shoulders and neck were so sore and felt bruised like I'd done some sort of hardcore workout.' Megan wondered if she was coming down with the flu, and noted her lack of appetite and soreness around her shoulders – saying it even hurt to put a bra on. She adds: 'I had never heard anyone on Mounjaro talk about those symptoms so, at first, I didn't think it was causing it.' It was only when Megan went on TikTok that she found other people reporting similar symptoms after taking the medication. Luckily, she began to feel better the following day – and Megan says the initial side effects were well worth the trouble, as she has gone on to drop a stone in just four weeks. She says: 'My experience [since then] has been amazing. 'I know it's not the same for everyone but I've not really had any bad side effects [since the first day]. 'All of the food noise has gone – I don't really ever think about food or feel excited about food and it has suppressed my appetite a lot. 'I sometimes do miss my food a little because there's some days when I don't feel like eating a lot and then there's other days that I can manage three full meals. 'All in all my Mounjaro journey so far has been life-changing and the best decision I have ever made.' Megan started on Mounjaro after struggling with self-discipline and wanting to shed a few pounds. She says: "I had always been quite slim and ate what I wanted, and got in the mindset of 'I'm never going to put on weight because I've eaten what I wanted for ages'. "But about three years ago I noticed I was gaining more weight, and in the last year it all just caught up with me and I was the heaviest I'd ever been. 6 6 "I would always have a takeaway or eat out Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then it started through the week – sometimes having a takeaway every night and sometimes even ordering takeaways for dinner at work. "It was becoming unhealthy. "My comfort foods would always be a takeaway – if I was sad, I'd always order to food to cheer me up, but afterwards I felt so bloated and looking in the mirror made me feel awful. "I'd even drive to McDonald's at midnight to get food if I couldn't sleep. 'I was struggling to lose that stubborn weight and I was struggling to keep myself disciplined. 'So, I started Mounjaro to get me out of all of those bad eating habits.' Megan says she was warned by her provider of the potential side effects, although she hadn't linked her symptoms the following day. And, with her symptoms quickly subsiding that same week, she has gone on to be thrilled with her results, dropping down to a healthier 10 stone. She added: 'I would definitely recommend it based on my experience. Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK. Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Can I get them? NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics. Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss. Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk. Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines. 'I recommended it to my dad and he has now started his journey and is going really well for him too. "Now, I feel more confident when I put outfits on to go out, and when taking photos." Megan says that her weight loss has had a positive impact on her mental health too. "I just feel much better in myself. "I was dreading going on holiday and wearing a bikini but now I'm really looking forward to it because of the weight loss. "I've had a lot of comments about it too. "People at work say they can really tell, on my face especially, and have said I look really well for it. "My family is always telling me that they can see such a difference. "My mum always comments on my weight loss and it makes me feel really good because some days I think 'Am I losing weight?' and sort of doubt myself – so it's nice to have reminders. "For other people to notice it makes me feel a lot more confident." 6

BREAKING NEWS Suicide tragedy of PE teacher, 31, with no history of mental health problems after taking online course of unlicensed hair loss drug in Dubai
A teacher obsessed with not going bald took his own life after switching to a powerful unlicensed drug to treat his hair loss, an inquest heard today. Sam Applegarth, 31, who had no history of mental health problems, hanged himself in Dubai after starting an online course of dutasteride - a drug not licensed for hair loss in the UK. The PE teacher, who had first sought help for his hair loss aged 22, had used minoxidil and finasteride for years without any side-effects. The inquest heard that there are no known 'suicidal ideation' side-effects from taking dutasteride - a drug primarily used to treat an enlarged prostate - because there has been a failure to report such feelings in men taking the drug. Today Mr Applegarth's heartbroken girlfriend Anya Guy, 30, urged anybody having suicidal thoughts after taking dutasteride to inform medical experts in the hope of preventing similar tragedies. Mr Applegarth was brought up in Outwood, near Wakefield, West Yorkshire, and after working for the Rugby Football League took up teaching science and PE at Minsthorpe High School. After his death one parent praised him as an 'absolute diamond and role model'. Wakefield Coroner's Court heard that since 2015 he had been concerned about losing his hair and visited top specialist Dr Bessam Farjo at his trichology clinic in Manchester. Dr Farjo told the hearing that Mr Applegarth visited for consultations and advice, but was never prescribed any drugs. Sam Applegarth's heartbroken girlfriend Anya Guy, 30, pictured outside his inquest in Wakefield today, urged anybody having suicidal thoughts after taking dutasteride to inform medical experts He was aware that Mr Applegarth had started taking minoxidil, which is easily available over the counter at pharmacies such as Boots. The teacher later complemented it with doses of finasteride, which has been linked to terrifying side-effects including erectile dysfunction, depression and anxiety. Dr Farjo told coroner Oliver Longstaff that Mr Applegarth had 'self-sourced' those drugs and both had been happy with their effects. In 2017 Mr Applegarth underwent a successful hair transplant at the clinic. In follow-up consultations Mr Applegarth informed the doctor that he had also undergone platelet-rich plasma treatment, where a concentrated portion of his own blood was injected in a bid to rejuvenate his hair. He had also had his head tattooed to give the appearance of hair, in a process called scalp micro pigmentation. 'He was happy with the overall appearance after the tattoo,' Dr Farjo told the inquest. Mr Applegarth last saw Dr Farjo in July 2024, two months before he flew to Dubai. Leading hair loss expert Dr Bessam Farjo, who saw Sam Applegarth at his clinic in Manchester but did not prescribe him medication, told today's inquest in Wakefield there may be an under-reporting of suicidal ideation by patients following a course of dutasteride He reported still taking minoxidil and finasteride tablets, which he had sourced himself. He was also using camouflage products to conceal his hair loss and the doctor suggested cognitive therapy to alleviate his anxiety about going bald. 'He was a young man with an exaggerated view about how big an issue his hair loss was,' said the doctor. 'I had no concerns he was having any side-effects from the drugs.' He stated that 'suicidal ideation' is one recognised side effect of taking finasteride. But if a patient had not experienced those thoughts whilst on the drug they would not suffer them after the drug is out of their system. Dr Farjo said he was unaware that Mr Applegarth had begun taking dutasteride, which he described as 'more powerful' than finasteride. He said the known side-effects of both drugs are the same, apart from the fact finasteride has been reported by the British National Formulary to cause suicidal ideation. Dr Farjo acknowledged, under questioning from Ms Guy, there may be an under-reporting of suicidal ideation by patients following a course of dutasteride. 'Dutasteride is not licensed for hair loss in this country and it is not commonly prescribed,' he said. 'The reason the BNF suicide ideation is not mentioned for dutasteride is because it has not been reported, whereas it has been reported for finasteride.' Dr Farjo said that it would have been easy for Mr Applegarth to access a course of dutasteride himself. 'Unfortunately, it is not difficult to get medication online,' he said. He said numerous private medical supply companies are 'sprouting up' to prescribe drugs to patients, without seeing them in person. Ms Guy told the inquest that Mr Applegarth had moved to Dubai to teach in August last year, with a view to her joining him at a later date. She said he had 'struggled at times with his self-esteem' due to his perceived hair loss, but she felt his condition was not a bad as he believed. His GP and family told the inquest Mr Applegarth had no history of mental illness or self harm and was a 'bright and happy individual'. He appeared to be thriving in Dubai, enjoying swims, the gym and getting in more than 20,000 steps a day, the inquest heard. However, he was found hanging in his apartment by a work colleague on September 19 - just five weeks after arriving in Dubai. He left no suicide note and a post-mortem found no alcohol or drugs in his system. Following Mr Longstaff's conclusion of suicide, Ms Guy said outside court that she hoped people who may be suffering suicidal thoughts whilst taking dutasteride would come forward. She said: 'People feeling by side-effects with dutasteride should report them, especially if they are feeling suicidal. 'People need to be aware that they may be having suicidal ideation because of the drug.' Following Mr Applegarth's tragic death, Craig Shepherd, who recruited him to work at Wakefield Trinity Rugby League Club, said: 'It was inevitable Sam went on to be a massive success in teaching. 'He was so loved by all who knew him. RIP Sam.' Anita Godfrey responded by posting: 'An absolute diamond and role model he really engaged my three in rugby league and would go above and beyond.'
