She said: 'I advised him to do it later on. You've got to remember he was only 19 at that time. I just think it's too young.'

Smiling Molly-Mae Hague cuddles up to Tommy Fury while they put daughter Bambi to bed after returning from Turkey - amid criticism for saying she 'hasn't done one fun thing all summer'
Molly-Mae Hague appeared to be in excellent spirits as she shared a precious moment with her partner Tommy Fury and their daughter Bambi on Tuesday night. The former Love Island star, 26, has just returned home from a lavish family holiday in Turkey and seemed be enjoying the time back at her £4million Cheshire home. Molly took to her Instagram Stories to share an adorable photograph of herself and her boxer boyfriend, 26, putting their daughter Bambi, two, down to bed. In the sweet snap, Molly flashed a huge smile while Tommy wrapped her arm around her as they stood by Bambi's cot. Tommy was every inch the doting father as he leaned down towards Bambi, who sweetly smiled up at them both. Molly and Tommy appeared as close as ever after they rekindled their romance earlier this year, after they split in August of last year amid Tommy's struggles with alcohol. 'Family pic for the moment,' Molly gushed in an accompanying caption. In another post, Molly revealed they had marked quite the milestone for Bambi as they had got rid of her sleeping bag as they look towards moving her to a 'big girl bed'. 'We decided to say goodbye to the sleeping bag tonight... it felt weirdly emotional and a big moment?! The sleeping bag made her feel like a baby still,' she explained. 'Next step is big girl bed... but we aren't in any rush for that because she's so happy in her cot.' The family have recently returned from a luxurious £2K-per-night hotel in Turkey, which Molly described as her 'favourite week ever'. She shared a slew of photographs from the sun-soaked holiday to her Instagram as she and Tommy stayed with Bambi at the luxury five-star Regnum The Crown hotel. Shortly before her seventh trip of the year, fans blasted Molly after she claimed she 'hasn't done one fun thing' all summer despite enjoying first class trips to Dubai, Paris and Saint Tropez. But on her latest trip, influencer looked happy as she wrote: 'One of the my favourite weeks ever', as she played with Bambi in the sunshine. In another picture, Molly and Tommy coordinated in all white outfits as they posed with Bambi on an outdoor swinging chair. She admitted 'we don't want to leave' after enjoying their week at the celebrity hotspot hotel as she shared a snap of Tommy and Bambi. Sharing a number of photos to his own social media pages, Tommy gushed that he has also had 'one of the best trips ever'. Molly ruffled feathers last month across social media by claiming her summer has, thus far, been boring. 'I haven't socialised once,' she told her older sister Zoe in a recent YouTube vlog. 'I haven't done one social, fun thing... I haven't a life.' The globe-trotting influencer added: 'I haven't a life. I haven't a life. It's not good. 'It's all kids related, if it's not work and kids I am not doing anything. It's not good. People going for a drink with their friends or to a beer garden. 'Oh my gosh, I don't remember the last time I did my hair and makeup and put an outfit on for something that wasn't work related. 'I don't do anything. Lets normalise it. For the girls that are going to get to the end of summer and not done one fun thing.' However, Molly-Mae did accept that her recent trip to Wimbledon, during which she did indeed wear make-up and a £3,000 Dior dress, was a 'fun' occasion. She said: 'No that's a lie because people are going to say "You went to London in your last vlog and had a ball," and I did.' Unsurprisingly, Molly-Mae's latest comments didn't go down well with her two million-plus YouTube subscribers, with many claiming she was 'out of touch', 'tone-deaf' and 'always moaning'. The influencer started strong this summer by signing a seven-figure deal with consumer goods firm Unilever and starring in a new campaign for its detergent brand, Persil and Comfort, in May. She fronted a new 'delicate' fragrance range with her toddler Bambi, who made her campaign debut in a fluffy pink jumper and ballerina tutu. Putting her name behind their 'Heaven Scent' non-bio capsules, fabric conditioner and a scent booster elixir, Molly-Mae said: 'I can be really protective of what I use at home, especially since having Bambi. 'My skin's always been sensitive, so I need products I know are kind to my skin but still leave everything smelling amazing and this range honestly does both.' But it wasn't all work though as Molly-Mae jetted off on her sixth holiday of the year – once again to Dubai. She and Tommy travelled business class to one of the most luxurious hotels in the UAE, the five-star Jumeirah Al Naseem, where rooms cost a whopping £13,897 per night. The hotel has its own private 2km beach, a turtle rehabilitation sanctuary and an infinity pool – which the couple were pictured canoodling in. If that wasn't enough time away from home, that month Molly-Mae also visited private members' club Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds. She's not the first celebrity to be drawn to the £500-a-night retreat, with the Beckhams, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and Taylor Swift also fans. Molly-Mae treated herself to a couple of nights in one of the cabins, where members can enjoy spa facilities, country bike rides and tennis. For her next trip in May, she flew on a private jet to Disneyland Paris to celebrate her 26th birthday alongside Tommy, their daughter and some of her best friends. Come June, Molly-Mae told her YouTube followers she was jetting off yet again. First to Germany for two nights for a 'secret project' and then on to the South of France to shoot the summer campaign for her clothing brand Maebe. Basking in the sunshine at a luxury villa in St Tropez, the influencer shared various snaps of herself lounging on sunbeds and dining at luxury restaurants. Later that month, Molly-Mae was whisked back to the Cotswolds for a 'surprise staycation'. This time, she and Tommy stayed at the lavish £700-a-night hotel Estelle Manor which has a swimming pool, four restaurants, spa and farm on site. She then gave a tearful defence of her comments in a separate video. She told followers: '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.'

Stacey Solomon shares loved-up holiday snaps from rare date night with husband Joe Swash after being forced to clarify his whereabouts
Stacey Solomon has shared loved-up snaps with her husband Joe Swash after having to clarify his whereabouts on their family holiday. The TV personality, 35, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share clips from a date night on the beach with Joe during their trip. Despite previously sharing a sweet family snap with her spouse on the holiday, Stacey took to her Stories on Sunday to clarify that Joe was with her on the trip after fans queried where he was. The star posted a loved-up snap with her husband, writing: 'For everyone asking... of course Joe's here, but we have five kids so anyone with kids knows you're always on split shifts. Here's a rare photo of us from last night.' Again proving he was on the trip, Stacey shared that her sister Samantha Stone had taken the kids to the disco so that she and Joe could enjoy a rare date night. 'Mum and dad,' Stacey captioned a sweet selfie of her and Joe sipping rose wine on the beach. Stacey also shared a clip where Joe was driving them to the beach on a gold buggy, before he kissed her forehead. She later posted another video of her and Joe lying on a bench on the beach giving fans an insight into their evening. Stacey said: 'People "What did you do on your date night?" Us: Laid there in silence and didn't talk to each other. This is true love. This is true love.' 'When silence isn't awkward, it's embraced,' Joe said, as Stacey added: 'Have you even got something to rest your head on? Are you just hanging off the edge?' Joe laughed as he said: 'No this is quite uncomfortable actually. It's like the ultimate ab workout.' 'Why have you laid like that? Why have you done that?' Stacey said. Joe sweetly replied: 'Because I offered you my arm and didn't realise no one's there to offer me their arm. 'So I've just got to hover my head a little bit.' Stacey added: 'And that is true love. Suspended over a bench to make me comfortable.' It comes after Stacey hit back at trolls questioning whether her husband Joe Swash has jetted off on holiday with her. She had been sharing a glimpse at her family's summer break at a swanky £1,000-per-night hotel in Turkey. Stacey has been soaking up the sun with her five children at the Regnum Carya hotel, and has posted various snaps from the trip on Instagram. Hours earlier, Stacey showed off her figure in a plunging yellow bikini as she enjoyed a ride on a rubber ring going down a water slide. The star admitted she was hoping to avoid washing her hair by using heatless curlers, and it proved to be a success as she displayed her bouncy waves in her hotel room later in the evening. Stacey is currently away with her husband Joe Swash, 43, as well as their children, Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, two, as well as Stacey's older sons Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 12, from two previous relationships. Stacey and Joe have long been regulars at Regnum Carya. Prices at the lavish hotel begin at £1,000 per night. Prior to her meal at Nikos, she had a girly day with daughters Belle and Rose, with the trio all wearing matching outfits.
