Molly-Mae Hague sparks outrage among fans after jetting off on tenth holiday this year
Former Love Island star and influencer Molly-Mae Hague enjoyed a luxury holiday in Turkey with Tommy Fury and daughter Bambi but fans have been left unimpressed Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have just returned back to the UK after soaking up the sun in Turkey on their latest family holiday. The former Love Island stars have both shared wholesome snaps of their getaway with baby Bambi. However, some of Molly-Mae's followers have been left baffled by her recent confession that she's had a 'boring' summer and rushed to remind her of her confession in the comment section. Fresh from spending some time in St. Tropez, Molly-Mae, 26, enjoyed the delights of the Turkish resort city of Antalya with her beau and the couples two-year-old daughter after admitting that she had never been to Turkey before. The mum-of-one and her partner Tommy, 26, stayed at a £2,000 a night hotel, which "has been carefully curated to deliver a true family holiday without compromise" and boasts 553 spacious suites and private villas. Regnum Aquatlantis is a favourite with many celebrities as Stacey Solomon calls it her "second home". Meanwhile, the likes of Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Jason Derulo and Sir Tom Jones have also checked into the hotel group's other sites across the world. The vacation is a welcome break for Molly-Mae, who recently bemoaned her lack of a social life. "I will get to the end of summer without having done one fun thing," the reality TV star moaned while talking to her sister Zoe in July. "Zoe, I haven't socialised once. I am going to get to the end of this summer, I haven't done one social fun thing. 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." She added: "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." After sharing a number of wholesome family photos with Tommy and Bambi, several of Molly-Mae's followers flocked to the comment section to remind her of her 'tone deaf' complaint. They hit out at the influencer given that she has already been on over ten big holidays this year as well as a couple of luxury getaways in the UK. Underneath her latest Instagram offering, one user wrote: "Molly doing not one fun thing …again." Another added: "Still don't think you've done anything fun yet Molly?" "She's been on holiday 3 or 4 times in like two months and said she has done nothing fun all summer. Make it make sense," someone else complained. "Oh is this the boring summer where you've done nothing?? lol," another follower commented under the post. Another unimpressed Instagram user echoed: "God she's so out of touch. Flying off to Turkey on a whim and then says she's done nothing all summer." The criticism from fans came because Molly-Mae had been updating her followers on her busy summer where she attended Wimbledon, went on a family motorhome holiday in the Isle of Man. The former Love Island star has been on at least ten holidays this year already after two trips to Dubai, Budapest, Paris, St. Moritz, and Disneyland Paris, as well as her most recent trip to Turkey. Molly-Mae also took a very luxurious trip to Saint Tropez last month.
