MOLLY-MAE Hague has admitted she 'feels quite sorry' for herself after looking back at THAT viral photo.
After filler 'left her looking like an Xbox controller', the Maebe founder, 25, recalled that trolls were right, she did look like Glenn Quagmire, the fictional character from American animated sitcom Family Guy.

In part two of Molly-Mae 's documentary - Molly-Mae Behind It All - which is now available to watch on Amazon Prime, the Love Island star turned businesswoman not only got candid on her body image and her split with Tommy Fury, 26, but she also recoiled in horror at the now notorious picture, a grab taken from one of her YouTube vlogs which shows her with notable filler inflating her cheeks and lips.
At the time, experts estimated that the social media star spent over £8,000 on regular procedures.
But after the image went viral, Molly-Mae then paid thousands more to have the beauty tweakments reversed.
Just moments into episode four of her highly-anticipated show, the Filter founder who lives in a huge £3.5million mansion, reflected on looking 'worse' thanks to filler, as she explained: 'It's crazy because you think all that make-up and the filler - you think that doing all that makes you look better, but actually it makes you look 10 times worse.
'I was about 16/17, when I started getting filler. It was such a slippery slope.
'There's this viral picture of me, people say, I look like an Xbox controller.'
Not only this, but the blonde beauty who broke up with Tommy Fury, 26, last August, but has now confirmed that they are back together, admitted: 'People say, look like a Quagmire...To be fair, I get that.
'The Xbox controller I can really see. That is really, really scary and really, really bad.
'I definitely felt like it was something that I needed to do, to look like everybody else that was on Instagram, which is really unhealthy and really not good.'
Getting candid, the content creator who boasts 1.9million subscribers on YouTube and has a jaw-dropping £6million fortune, confessed: 'I look at those pictures and I actually feel quite sorry for myself.
Watch the moment Molly-Mae Hague is confronted by sister Zoe after revealing she's back with Tommy Fury
'I think that I must have been obviously feeling like I needed to do that to my face.'
Moments later, Molly-Mae's sister Zoe recalled a very awkward moment when a mystery celebrity mocked the mum-of-one's face at the height of her filler journey.
Molly-Mae's older sister Zoe, 28, who was previously hailed as the new 'It Girl', explained: 'As long as I can remember, her appearance is something that Molly has always struggled with.'
Not only this, but Zoe, who recently moved into Molly-Mae's home and earlier this year was in 'hiding' after an unfortunate Botox side effect, highlighted: 'She had this fame absolutely come out of the blue basically and had all these fresh eyes on her.
Molly-Mae's glow-down from 'glamour model' to 'yummy mummy'
Celebrity PR Expert, Ed Hopkins told Fabulous: 'I believe Molly-Mae Hague 's new look is more than just a style change but a powerful statement of who she is becoming.
'It underscores her journey towards authenticity, maturity, and sophistication and is likely to enhance her success and influence in the years to come.'
Brand and Culture Expert Nick Ede agreed, and told Fabulous: 'Molly-Mae has transformed herself into a yummy mummy who has ditched the glamour model style for a more relaxed and natural look.
'She's becoming more down to earth and relatable to people and cleverly showing a softer side which will win her legions more fans in the process.'
According to Ed Hopkins, Molly-Mae's chic new look could be 'highly lucrative' for the star.
Ed told Fabulous: 'Molly-Mae Hague's transformation towards a more natural, chic look seems to be a testament to her personal growth and evolving style.
'This change, which has become more pronounced since she became a mother, appears to reflect her journey towards embracing authenticity and sophistication.
'It's possible that this new image could be highly lucrative for Molly-Mae.
'Her chic, understated style might appeal to a wider audience, including more mature demographics and high-end brands, potentially opening up lucrative endorsement deals and partnerships.
'By adopting a more elegant look, she seems to align herself with premium and luxury brands that favour natural beauty and sophistication, which could lead to higher-paying collaborations.
'Additionally, with consumers increasingly valuing authenticity and natural beauty, her new image could be both timely and marketable.'
Nick Ede agreed and told Fabulous: 'She has started to promote some really great luxury brands including the cosmetics brand Tatcha and with her laid back look she will make a lot of money from brands looking to align with her.'
Ed also noted that Molly-Mae's transformation may be a sign that she is looking to step away from her reality show past.
He continued: 'Molly-Mae's transformation also seems to symbolise her desire even more so to well and truly step out of the shadow of her Love Island persona.
'The shift to a more mature and unique style appears to demonstrate her growth and her wish to be seen as an individual beyond her reality TV beginnings.
'By shedding the bold, flashy look associated with her time on Love Island, she might be rebranding herself as a serious businesswoman and influencer who is carving out her own identity.
'This new look helps her stand out in the crowded influencer market, showcasing her as a trendsetter with a distinctive, refined aesthetic.'
Nick agreed and claimed: 'Shedding the flash looks she previously went for, she's also detaching herself from the Love Island stereotype and stepping out as her own person with a cool look that's not flashy but totally on trend.
'Gone are the 'look at me' posts and in are family style posts and trend led fashion statements.'
'At her BeautyWorks event, my mum and I were in the toilets.
"Someone else famous was in there talking about her and talking about how bad her face looked and how much work she had done to her face.
She did look silly and had too much, far too much filler in her face
Zoe Hague
'Then me and my mum walked out, and the person was a bit taken back that we'd listened to the whole conversation.'
Although stunned by the situation, Zoe acknowledged: 'I completely agreed with them.
'She did look silly and had too much, far too much filler in her face.'
To this, Molly-Mae beamed: 'Thank God for my sister, because I could have genuinely completely destroyed my face. It was so bad.'

Jamie Borthwick makes attempts to 'right wrongs' to 'save EastEnders career' after being suspended for using disabled slur on Strictly set
Jamie Borthwick has made a last-minute attempt to 'save his career' by sincerely apologising for using a shocking slur against disabled people. The actor, who has played Jay Brown for 19 years, has been suspended by the BBC after he used a slur aimed at disabled people on the set of Strictly. A video obtained by The Sun showed the EastEnders actor using the term 'm********s' to describe residents of Blackpool where the show was being filmed at the time. He was reportedly backstage during rehearsals with Wynne Evans who could be heard saying 'Oh my God' when he made the remark. He has since issued an apology, sharing that he did not fully understand the derogatory nature of the term he used but now that he is aware, he is 'deeply embarrassed'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. With his future on the fictional Walford set unclear, Jamie is now said to be scrambling to 'clean up' his act ahead of crunch talks with high-level EastEnders bosses. The Sun reports the 30-year-old told a former partner this week how it was 'not clear' if he would return to EastEnders. The newspaper quoted Jamie as saying: 'I accept the karma that has come my way due to some bad choices.' It continued that Jamie told how he was now 'attempting to write the wrongs in my life'. He added he wanted to 'sincerely apologise for the mistakes I made and for hurting you and how I handled the whole situation'. MailOnline has contacted a representative for Jamie. In a groveling apology, Jamie previously said in a statement: 'I want to apologise sincerely and wholeheartedly for the words I used in the video showing my reaction to making it through Blackpool week on Strictly. 'I am deeply sorry for any offence and upset my words and actions have caused. It is no excuse, but I did not fully understand the derogatory term I used and its meaning.' A spokesperson for the BBC said: 'This language is entirely unacceptable and in no way reflects the values or standards we hold and expect at the BBC. 'We have robust processes in place for this.' It's the second Strictly-related controversy Jamie has found himself in after he and Wynne were reportedly blasted by BBC bosses over a shocking sex toy video. In footage obtained by The Sun on Sunday in April, the two stars were filmed backstage after the opera singer sent a sex toy to the EastEnders star. Filmed just two days after Wynne was recorded making a vile sexual comment to Jamie about pro dancer Janette Manrara , the video sees Jamie claiming the toy was sent to Birmingham's Utilita Arena reception by Wynne.

Alexander Zverev delivers X-rated on-court message to Taylor Fritz - after clashing with rival's influencer girlfriend at Wimbledon
Alexander Zverev delivered a light-hearted, X-rated jibe at rival Taylor Fritz after their clash on Sunday afternoon. The German suffered his fifth consecutive defeat against American star Fritz, who clinched the Stuttgart Open title after a 6-3, 7-6 win. Evidently, Zverev's poor record against his rival was playing on his mind as he delivered a post-match speech, where he jokingly took aim at Fritz. Speaking on court, Zverev said: 'Taylor, I'm f***ing tired of you. I don't wanna see you again over the next 2 to 3 years. 'Please stay away from me. Don't come to Germany anymore'. While Fritz and Zverev have clashed on the court numerous times over the years, the same can also be said for the German star and his rival's girlfriend, Morgan Riddle. It was after the five-set thriller at Wimbledon last year that Zverev expressed displeasure over the noise coming from Fritz's box, where his girlfriend Morgan Riddle was seated. Adding to the intrigue was a curious social media post from Riddle that many saw as a reference to 2020 domestic abuse claims against Zverev - which he denied. A social media influencer who has 17.2million likes on TikTok, Riddle has since deleted an Instagram video that included the caption: 'when your man wins 4 the girls.' She had posted a picture of the court to her story and wrote, 'cheer loud ladies.' That post was also taken down. After that match, Fritz sat down for an interview with The Tennis Channel and shed light on the feud - following a discussion with Zverev on court. He explained: 'I think he was a little upset about my team members cheering for me when he was injured but he said: "It's nothing to do with you. You're all good..." Whatever, it's all good.' Zverev said afterwards that he was upset with some people in Fritz's box who 'may not be from the tennis world.' 'His team is extremely respectful. I think his coach, his physio, also his second coach, they're extremely respectful,' Zverev said. 'I think there's some other people that maybe are in the box that are not maybe from the tennis world, that are not maybe from particularly watching every single match. They were a bit over the top.' Zverev agreed to pay around $240,000, last year, in a June settlement with his accuser, the mother of his child, but was not convicted of any crime and maintains his innocence. The ATP investigated the claims (via an outside firm) for 15 months but ultimately did not discipline Zverev on the basis of insufficient evidence. Following his settlement in June, Zverev said 'I told you so from the start, I told everybody. I'm happy that it's over. Yeah, nothing else more to say.' Meanwhile, after Fritz knocked Zverev out in New York with a four-set victory to reach the US Open semifinals last year, Riddle took to social media to celebrate the victory. She shared a video from Arthur Ashe taking in the full surroundings and, alongside three nail polish emojis, wrote: 'Semi finalsssss'.

Laura Whitmore oozes glamour as she joins Hana Cross, Lennon Gallagher and his girlfriend at The Cartier Queen's Cup Polo 2025
The Cartier Queen's Polo 2025 saw the likes of Laura Whitmore, Hana Cross and Lennon Gallagher attend this weekend. It's no doubt one of the most famous polo tournaments in the world - and attracts some high-profile celebs every year. This year, former Love Island host Laura Whitmore oozed glamour in an eye-catching midi dress which featured a shorter underskirt, showing off her toned legs. The TV presenter, 40, looked extra glam for the occasion, adding a pair of high heels and adding a pair of white oversized sunglasses. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Meanwhile, Brooklyn Beckham's ex Hana Cross looked elegant as ever in a red number, which clung to her supermodel physique. The music artist, 22, turned heads in the maxi dress, which she wore with a white mini handbag. Liam Gallagher's lookalike son Lennon was also present at the event on Sunday, with his girlfriend Isobel Richmond by his side. The 25-year-old model looked suave in pinstripe suit trousers and a patterned shirt, which he wore with a pair of smart loafers. Lennon kept a low-key appearance with some shades, as he cosied up to his partner, who looked stunning in a black dress and heels. Lennon and Isobel have been enjoying a lot of date nights together recently, with their most recent being the launch of The Standard in Brussels. Last year Lennon - who has graced Italian Vogue and appeared at London Fashion Week - spoke candidly to MailOnline about the world of modelling and admitted it can be 'difficult at times'. The aspiring singer was first scouted at the age of 16 while walking down Brick Lane and he explained: 'I was walking in Brick Lane, and I was like, 16. 'I just got an army jacket and I was walking away from the store, this woman pulled me over and was like, ''You should be a model, take this card. We have a shoot in Africa, you should do it''.' Noting the situation seemed 'sketchy', Lennon went on: 'I didn't do the shoot because it seemed really sketchy, so I told my mum and she was like, ''If you want to get into it, I know some people''.' Lennon told how he reaches out to his agent if ever he feels unsure about a shoot or casting call. 'It's always pretty difficult putting yourself up for castings and stuff and putting yourself out there,' he stated. 'And then there's like hundreds of people who maybe look a bit like you, look so different to you, and like everyone is going in and out, and you're like, ''I'm not going to get this!'''
