Molly-Mae Hague admits she 'can't look in the mirror' amid struggles with 'low confidence' - as she reveals she's in therapy for the first time amid backlash for 'being out of touch'
The influencer, 26, admitted she can 'barely even look at herself in the mirror' at the moment as she also revealed she had started therapy for the first time - amid backlash for being 'out of touch' by some of her followers.
In her recent vlog she tearfully broke her silence following recent backlash from fans who once again branded the whinging millionaire influencer 'out of touch'.
She has been accused of 'always moaning' in recent weeks after complained she'd 'not done one fun thing all summer' despite jetting off to multiple destinations. She also faced criticism after complaining about a recent £86,000 motorhome holiday.
In her recent vlog she spoke about how she feels about her appearance as a busy mum and shared a clip driving to her first ever therapy session.
Molly-Mae said as she prepared to have her hair done: 'Basically I have just been feeling really, and I feel like all of us girls go through it, where we have that really low confidence week and I could barely even look at myself in the mirror.
'So I feel like I am really ready for a bit of a glow up because I am not enjoying what is going on right now.
'I was just not feeling great in the way I look and it was really getting to me. I was in such a funk yesterday.'
She then shared a video of her driving to therapy as she explained to her followers: 'I've never had it before this is my first session. I have zero idea of what to expect, I don't have a clue. I'm dreading it a bit as at the minute my life is good.'
She gave a debrief after as she said she wasn't sure if she would go back again: 'It was only an hour so it will take a few sessions to get into. It's hard because I was having a good week but now I have had to talk about all the hard stuff and it's brought it all back up and now it's sitting heavy on me and now I have to go home and go be a mum again.
'I can't decide if I am going to go back or not. Maybe I need to give it more time.'
Elsewhere in the vlog she tearfully broke her silence following recent backlash from fans who once again branded the millionaire influencer 'out of touch'.
Molly-Mae's sister Zoe Hague has also come under fire for her 'tone deaf' posts of late after revealing she had fled Bali for Dubai after just 48 hours because it didn't live up to her expectations.
In her latest YouTube video, Molly-Mae claimed that she 'didn't care' about the uproar but has been left 'scared' about discussing anything 'controversial'.
Her vlog also saw her struggling with the difficulties of motherhood and sharing an update on her relationship with Tommy Fury, also 26.
Filming herself in the driving seat and two-year-old daughter Bambi in the back she said: 'I'm trying so so hard to stay positive but, I feel like I need to keep my camera running all day so you can see like every single thing, [Bambi] is a huge problem, [She] screams [I] can't even get like socks and shoes on'.
'I don't care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff that's going on on T ikTok at the minute, I don't care I'm not going to not talk about it'.
She later went on: 'I feel like I don't want to talk about anything controversial anymore because in the last video I said some things I probably could have worded better and even with all the motherhood things I am talking about at the minute, it's just a lot'.
'Debunking that whole thing about me feeling like I shouldn't talk about what is going on in the day because I am scared about what people will think and what they have to say about it'.
Moving on to Tommy, with whom she rekindled her romance earlier this year, she explained why he hadn't featured in her Vlogs despite them being back together.
'I've see so many comments saying '[My sister] Zoe is more the dad' I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with Tommy literally 80% of the week and he is with Bambi majority of the week,'
'But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family'.
Before adding: 'I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to'.
Last week fans blasted the TV personality for 'always moaning' after after she said she'd 'not done one fun thing all summer' despite jetting off to multiple destinations.
She said in her vlog: '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.'
She then spoke to her sister and 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.'
It left some fans open-mouthed as they called out how she failed to acknowledge the three holidays she's already been on this year.
Some comments read: 'She's a millionaire, she can literally wake up tomorrow and do whatever the hell she wants',
'Wimbledon, lunches, Spain, Dubai, France, Centre Parcs... let's normalise that',
'This was so jarring because she can casually spend 6k in Dior on an outfit to log to Wimbledon then complains she has no time for herself',
'Why does she always want us to feel sorry for her?'
The mum-of-one - in this year alone - has been on no expense-spared trips to Dubai, Budapest and even Disneyland in 2025.
Back in March she and Tommy Fury took baby Bambi on a family holiday to the United Arab Emirates, marking a reunion holiday for the clan.
Just a month later Tommy had treated Molly to a European trip as the pair enjoyed downtime in Budapest.
During their break, they stayed at The Pullman, a five-star hotel where prices start from at least £500 per night.
Meanwhile, in May the doting parents took Bambi to Disneyland Paris where they enjoyed a lavish stay at the park's resort.
It came after her candid complaints about a recent £86,000 motorhome holiday her family went on - after Tommy said their daughter Bambi shouldn't be spoilt with five star trips.
The family were travelling on a swanky Elddis Avalon 255 motorhome.
Yet Molly-Mae revealed the trip had been struck with delays, leaving Bambi 'overtired and overstimulated'.
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.
Meanwhile 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.
'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.'

AI attractiveness bot reveals world's most beautiful singer – as celebs such as Taylor Swift & Dua Lipa vie for top spot
POP superstar Taylor Swift is the most attractive singer on the planet, according to analysis by artificial intelligence. She scored 9.14 out of ten after her images were run through an attractiveness program. 11 Fellow US singers Demi Lovato and Lana Del Rey came second and third with scores of 9.10 and 8.93. An AI program processed images using the golden ratio, equal to 1.618 and studied since antiquity to analyse objects' proportions. The closer the ratios of a face or body are to 1.618, the more beautiful they are deemed to be. After examining images of 140 musical artists — both male and female — for gaming site 1377, South Korean boyband star Jungkook was rated the fourth most attractive, followed by Brits Adele and Dua Lipa in fifth and sixth. US rapper Megan Thee Stallion was seventh and ex-One Direction star Zayn Malik eighth. Country star Kacey Musgraves and former The Voice UK coach Meghan Trainor made up the top ten. 11 But there was no spot for Right Said Fred pair Fred and Richard Fairbrass, who had a No2 hit in 1991 with I'm Too Sexy. A 1377 spokesman said: 'This study raises questions about how beauty standards are being reinforced by algorithms. "As AI tools become more mainstream, we need to be aware of how they may replicate narrow or biased ideals of attractiveness.' It's not just stars who can feel the benefits of AI. Taylor Swift and Dakota Johnson enjoy night out with rarely-seen brothers Austin and Jesse in NYC Now Chatgpt allows you to put a picture into their system and give you pointers on how to improve your appearance for a glow-up this summer.

BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty faces investigation into ‘hard' and ‘bullying' behaviour after string of complaints
THE BBC is set to launch an investigation into Naga Munchetty following a string of complaints. The Breakfast host, 50, has been placed 'under review' while bosses consider escalating matters to a formal investigation. 4 4 A source said bosses had heard from a number of aggrieved colleagues, logging concerns over her 'hard' and 'bullying' behaviour on BBC Breakfast and her Radio 5 Live show. She had also been hauled in by bosses over allegations she made an off-air sex jibe at 5 Live. The source said: 'Following the amount of people who have come forward to share their experiences with Naga, the BBC has officially moved to place the complaints under review. "The review is to ascertain whether a full-on investigation is required and that could come in weeks.'

Bosses were forced to apologise on her behalf after a tense interview with Spice Girl Geri Horner in 2023. A BBC spokesperson said: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously and will not tolerate behaviour that is not in line with our values. 'We have robust processes in place and would encourage any staff with concerns to raise them directly with us so they can be addressed.' Her conduct came under the spotlight after a probe into the award-winning show's director, Richard Frediani. "He has returned to work following the investigation into his conduct, including a claim he 'physically shook' a female worker. BBC star Naga Munchetty hauled in by bosses over allegations she BULLIED a junior staffer and 'made an off-air sex jibe' A second 'listening' review by HR has encouraged staff to share ang grievances about Frediani, Munchetty and her co-host Charlie Stayt.

Rebecca Loos says it was 'unjust that her life became hell' after David Beckham scandal as she returns to the spotlight for Celebrity SAS
Rebecca Loos and Michaella McCollum were both thrust into the public eye through their notoriety. But have they been underestimated? They got the chance to find out in the brutal, muddy, no-make-up, no-privacy battleground of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, when they confronted the ghosts of their pasts to prove just how formidable they really are. The toughest series of the year so far was filmed in Wales last summer and sees them, along with 12 other contestants including dancer Louie Spence, boxer Connor Benn and Love Islanders Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri, diving into icy waters, running with 15kg packs and having orders barked at them by ex-Special Forces officers. For Rebecca, once famous for her alleged affair with David Beckham, the show proved a turning point. For Michaella, who made headlines as one of the 'Peru Two' drug smugglers, it's a tale of reinvention. For both it was a lesson in managing anxiety and pushing beyond their self-doubt. Rebecca, who was branded the 'sleazy senorita' and accused of destroying a golden marriage, found herself in the eye of a media storm following her alleged affair with Beckham when she worked with him in Madrid in the early 2000s. Now more than two decades later she's back on British screens – older and wiser. 'I wouldn't say the media have been kind in how they've portrayed me,' she says. 'I've been accused of being a liar and a slut.' Now 48, Rebecca lives in Norway with her husband and their two sons, but taking part in Celebrity SAS plunged her right back into the spotlight, as well as into the deep end of physical endurance. 'You're stripped down. No make-up. No distractions. Just yourself and your thoughts,' she says. Rebecca leaned on the breathing techniques she's learned as a yoga teacher to cope, especially with the sleep deprivation that she describes as her greatest trial. 'I hardly slept. And going through perimenopause was emotionally, mentally and hormonally very hard.' But perhaps the most poignant aspect of her SAS journey is that it came on the heels of Beckham's glossy Netflix documentary. 'That took me completely by surprise,' she says. 'Let's call it what it was: him trying to portray an image of perfection that was nothing like reality. 'I look back at my 20s and it felt unjust that my life was hell and his career and his life just kept blossoming. That didn't feel right. It still doesn't.' For Michaella, who made headlines as one of the 'Peru Two' drug smugglers, it's a tale of reinvention. For both it was a lesson in managing anxiety and pushing beyond their self-doubt She doesn't deny her part in the scandal. 'I think I've definitely taken most of the blame – rightly so. It was part of my life. He was older than me, he was my boss.' 'But I'm not someone to be silenced when I've been wronged, and that documentary took absolutely no responsibility. When he said, 'It was so horrible to see my wife suffer,' I thought, 'Mate, think twice about the things you do.'' Does she harbour any bitterness? 'I just roll my sleeves up and get on with it because everything I've experienced has brought me to where I am today. And it's made me a little bit stronger. Celebrity SAS showed me what I'm still capable of.' Michaella, 32, was the ultimate poster girl for bad decisions when, in 2013, she was sentenced to six years for agreeing to be a drugs mule and trying to smuggle £1.5 million of cocaine out of Lima with another girl, Melissa Reid. Today she's a mother and author working in luxury real estate in the UK. But more than that – she's a survivor. 'At 19, I was naive, groomed, manipulated. But I know who I am now,' she says. 'I needed a shift in my life. I kept saying no to work, to relationships. I was stuck. And I thought, 'If I say yes to this, maybe I can break the cycle.'' When she was chosen she couldn't swim and had just four weeks to learn. Then on day one on the show, she was thrown in the sea. 'I started sinking. The boots dragged me down, it was terrifying.' From there it only got tougher: running 2km up hills with 15kg on her back, sleeping two hours a night, physical exhaustion layered over trauma. 'There were moments when I thought my legs wouldn't work. But somehow you push through. You realise mental strength is everything.' Michaella's no stranger to adversity after her time in Peruvian prison Ancon 2. But it gave her the grit to cope with SAS. 'The living conditions on the show were difficult but for me it was fine. Both regimes are hostile, both strip you bare, but this time I knew when it would end and that made all the difference. 'Celebrity SAS helped me see what I'm made of. It taught me I can bond with other people. It made me change where I live, change my job and the people I'm surrounded by. It had such a massive effect on my life.' Both women have shown that strength isn't about push-ups. It's about showing up – again and again – for yourself. 'That's a good metaphor for life – you're going to get knocked down so many times but you've got to keep getting up,' says Michaella. Michaella spent almost three years in the notorious Ancon 2 jail. 'One woman hung herself in front of me,' she recalls. 'That's something that never leaves you. There were rats running around our room, maggots in the rice and cockroaches in the showers. 'You had to use buckets to wash yourself, the toilets didn't flush and there were no toilet seats. You had to learn to adapt. Then there was the constant screaming day and night. 'You could be attacked at any moment. I've seen women set on fire. I've seen women stabbed. I've seen women overdose and die. You're in a cell with 40 women, some of them have mental health issues, some are dangerous – you don't sleep properly, ever.'
