Molly-Mae Hague on Sunday Times Young Power List 2025 for business ventures
Reality TV star and businesswoman Molly-Mae Hague is among 30 inspiring young people who feature on The Sunday Times Young Power List 2025.
The influencer and former creative director of fashion retailer PrettyLittleThing rose to fame on dating show Love Island in 2019 and launched her own clothing brand in 2024.
Earlier in the year the 25-year-old starred in a Prime Video documentary that depicted the fallout from her high-profile break-up with boxer Tommy Fury.
The couple had announced their split in separate social media posts in August 2024, a month before Hague launched her womenswear line, Maebe.
Hague and Fury welcomed a child called Bambi in January 2023 and announced their engagement in July that year.
The Sunday Times list features young people, all 30 or under, who come from the worlds of business, entertainment, politics, sport, farming and food.
Singer-songwriter Maisie Peters, 24, who has supported the likes of Coldplay, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, is the only singer to feature on the list.
Among the other names are 27-year-old Bella Maclean, who stars in Sex Education and Rivals, and Saba Sams, a 28-year-old author known for her short story collection Send Nudes and debut novel Gunk.
Kaleb Cooper, a 26-year-old farmer and TV personality who features on Prime Video series Clarkson's Farm, is also on the list.
Among the entrepreneurs listed are 16-year-old Toby Brown, who secured one million dollars in Silicon Valley investment for his AI start-up Beem, and Fergal Mackie, 27, the inventor of a body-powered bionic hand that functions without the use of electronics.
Hannah Swerling, The Sunday Times commissioning editor, said: 'This year's Young Power List showcases the incredible talent, resilience, and vision of young people across the UK.
'Their stories are a testament to what can be achieved with passion and purpose, and they remind us that age is no barrier to making a meaningful impact.
'From entrepreneurs like Murvah Iqbal, who is revolutionising sustainable logistics with her courier company Hived, to Fergal Mackie, whose bionic hand invention is transforming the lives of amputees, each individual featured showcases the ingenuity and drive of young people, such as the creative vision of individuals like Bella Maclean, star of Disney+'s Rivals, and Maisie Peters, whose chart-topping music is resonating with audiences worldwide.'

Shea's looking to match up with someone with a nice personality SHEA THERE Who is Love Island 2025 contestant and bombshell Shea Mannings? LOVE Island has revealed two new bombshells as one will look to build strong connections and tackle anyone who gets in his way. Here we get to know the latest hunk to enter the villa — Shea Mannings. Advertisement 3 Shea Mannings and fitness influencer Remell Mullins arrived as bombshells Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 Shea is a semi-pro footballer and scaffolder Credit: Instagram 3 He has a son - a fact he says he won't be hiding in the villa Credit: instagram/@ Who is Shea Mannings? Shea Mannings is a 25-year-old Bristolian and will be one of the three new faces to be added to the villa in the same number of days since the show started, and will throw a new element of drama to the reality show. Before going on Love Island, he balanced two jobs, mainly working as a scaffolder day-to-day as well as playing football semi-professionally on the side. The 25-year-old has played for Swindon Supermarine FC since signing in 2024 and will be the third semi-pro baller in the villa this year after Dejon Noel-Williams and Harry Cooksley. In his career so far he has played for Southern League Division One South side Bristol Manor Farm in 2023, and before that he represented Ashton & Backwell in the Toolstation Western League Premier Division. Advertisement Alongside his two jobs, Shea has a son, who he will not be keeping a secret. Before entering the villa, he said: "I have a little boy, so I'll be taking him into consideration with who I couple up with, too.' While his Instagram bio says that he is 'off to find love in the Love Island Villa', what is Shea looking for in a potential coupling? He said: "She needs to be bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality - like I think I have - so that we match together.' Advertisement His Insta followers can often see him enjoying life in hotter climates and either working out or in action on the football pitch. And in comparison to some of his fellow Islanders, Shea is pretty quiet on social media, sharing only the highlights of his life and matches to his just over 6,000 followers. SECOND Love Islander is dumped in brutal bombshell recoupling What will Shea be like in the villa? Shea forms part of the two bombshell line-up with Remell Mullins and came into the villa just days after American pool party waitress Toni Laites shook up the villa on the first day. The Islanders were left stunned after Toni strutted into the villa and stole Shakira Khan's man, Ben Holbrough. Advertisement It meant Shakira had to find a new couple and in a shock twist caused the early exit of motivational speaker Sophie Lee after recoupling with Harry Cooksley. But with the arrival of Shea and Remell, it is the girls' time to be tempted and stray from their couples. Before entering the show Shea said: "I am ready again to look for something more serious. I'm 25 now, so I want to be settling down and have someone always by my side." A source told The Sun: "The two new boys are already in the villa and immedietely started turning heads. Advertisement "The OG lads thought they were safe but three bombshells in three days shows that producers aren't messing around." Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

They sneaked away to the Hideaway for some alone time and enjoyed multiple kisses. They struggled to keep their hands off each other and Harry then pulled the covers over their heads. The following morning, Harry and Helena told the rest of the Islanders that they just had a kiss and a cuddle. But viewers watching at home think the pair got up to a lot more than that.
