Molly-Mae Hague left 'having a breakdown' on £86,000 motorhome holiday
Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury's recent luxury motorhome holiday didn't quite go according to plan.
The 2019 Love Island couple, who recently reunited after a split last year, frequently enjoy getaways to destinations such as Dubai, offering a glimpse inside their expensive trips via social media posts.
However, this summer, they opted for a change of scenery, taking daughter Bambi to the Isle of Man for an £86,000 motorhome experience, having decided early on that she shouldn't get used to five-star stays and 'business class flights'.
But in her latest YouTube video, the Maebe founder, 26, admitted that staycations with a toddler can take their toll, saying she was left fighting a 'breakdown' at one point.
Speaking to her two million subscribers after returning home, Molly-Mae shared how travel delays and a change in routine led to tears and tantrums, with the two-year-old 'screaming for four hours straight' at one point.
On their decision to travel to the Isle of Man, where boxer Tommy splashed out £86,995 on an Elddis Avalon 255, the fashion influencer began: '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.
Molly-Mae added that she's become 'stuck in [her] ways' with Bambi's routine, fearing steering away from it and creating upset.
'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.'
And it was the change of pace that seemingly caused Bambi distress, as Molly-Mae detailed their journey: '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.'
Molly-Mae explained that the delays were caused by a 'malfunction' on the boat, leading to Bambi becoming 'so, so, so tired and overstimulated'.
It was past 1am by the time the little family arrived at their destination, with the three staying at a different campsite from Tommy's family.
'We didn't know where we were, what we were doing … it was just a lot,' the reality star said.
'We had to make our bed out of this sofa. I was like, 'I'm really out of my depth; I'm struggling'.'
When they woke up the next day for their first full day in the Isle of Man, Bambi was 'screaming' constantly and clearly 'so, so unhappy'.
'Me and Tommy were looking at each other like, 'What were we thinking?' I was having a breakdown.'
Fortunately, they still managed to enjoy their trip, but not without Tommy deciding that one holiday in the flashy motorhome was more than enough.
'This motorhome of Tommy's is his pride and joy; he's obsessed with it,' said Molly-Mae. 'I kid you not, the next day he was like, 'I'm selling it, the minute we get home, I'm putting it up for sale. I hate this motorhome.'
The young parents also had every intention of travelling home after merely one night, feeling like they simply 'couldn't do it'.
'It wasn't even the motorhome's fault. For our first time, stupid move.'
Molly-Mae and Tommy confirmed in May that, after much speculation, they were, indeed, an item once more. More Trending
The lovebirds initially split when Tommy's drinking started to fracture their relationship, which Molly-Mae spoke openly about in her Amazon Prime Video series Behind It All.
But after Tommy ditched the booze for several months and they spent more time together again, she felt things were 'looking so much better'.
On wanting to 'take things slow' after getting back together, Molly-Mae told cameras: 'I love Tommy so much and I love our family so much that I'm willing to ride the wave.
'And that's not something that everyone wants to do, but it's something that I'm willing to do because I want my family.'

YouTube is no replacement for old media
Young people now choose to watch YouTube more than any traditional TV channel, according to Ofcom figures. Founded just 20 years ago, YouTube has around 2.7 billion users in more than 80 countries. It has effectively become the biggest TV channel in the world. With 720,000 hours of video uploaded every day, this explosion of content provides the viewer with virtually unlimited choice. It has democratised content creation and allowed an extraordinary diversity of voices to bypass almost all editorial oversight. There is much to celebrate in the media revolution. Artists, musicians, commentators and performers can now build and interact with their audiences directly, relying on their own creativity alone. Consumers have a range of content undreamt of just a few decades ago when the only question was which of the four terrestrial TV channels to watch. At the same time, however, the lack of any filter or editorial control provides real risks to democracies which rely on an informed public and high quality journalism. Without any kind of moderation, platforms like YouTube provide fertile ground for misinformation and disinformation, allowing conspiracy theorists and hostile states equal space with professional reporting and properly resourced high quality content. Unlike the public service broadcasters (PSBs) which are bound by strict editorial standards and regulatory oversight, YouTube, TikTok and other platforms rely on algorithms which prioritise engagement over accuracy. Sensationalist, misleading or outright false content often garners more views, likes and shares, amplifying its reach. This distorts the information and facts which voters need to have in order to make informed decisions at election time. Despite this huge increase in the number of competing providers of video content, the need for reliable and trusted public service broadcasting remains greater than ever. The range of entertainment across the TV channels and streaming services is vast, benefiting viewers and creators alike. However, consumers also need to have sources of trusted and factual information on which they can rely. Public service broadcasters are governed by the Broadcasting Code and are required to be impartial and not to give undue offence. The quality press like the Telegraph survive on a reputation for accuracy and properly researched investigative journalism. Yet both are threatened by the rapid growth of unregulated and often unreliable social media platforms. The steady decline in the reach of public service broadcasters that we have seen in the past 10 years is likely to accelerate as we approach the time when terrestrial transmission will cease and all TV viewing will be via the internet. Sales of physical newspapers will continue to fall, with some already shifting to digital-only distribution. As viewers and readers move to online platforms, advertisers inevitably follow. Last year, YouTube made more than $36 bn from advertising. With so much free content available, it is tougher to persuade consumers to pay subscriptions for news content or to pay a compulsory licence fee in order to watch live TV. The latest BBC annual report records that the number of licence-fee payers fell yet again, by another 300,000 last year. Governments of both colours have struggled to support professional media. The latest Media Act, which I took through parliament just 18 months ago, requires that the PSB channels are given prominence (appearing at the top of the programme guide) on connected TV platforms, set-top boxes and streaming sticks. This has already been overtaken as more and more consumers reject scheduled TV and turn straight to on-demand services. Ofcom warned this week that the future of public service media is at stake and called for YouTube in particular to do more to ensure that this content is prominent and easy to find. There are other steps that government and regulators can take. More needs to be done to improve media literacy and to encourage consumers not to accept every claim online and instead to rely upon trusted news providers. The Competition Authority will need to use its new powers to ensure that those who create news content are properly rewarded by the tech platforms that disseminate it. And, as AI offers greater competition by scraping news content and re-presenting it, robust copyright laws must ensure that those who created it are able to control its use and receive appropriate payment. The challenge for policy makers and news organisations remains how best to adapt to a rapidly changing media landscape while protecting the principles of accuracy and impartiality on which a functioning democracy depends.

'I'm a dog expert and there's one amazing breed that make the best pets'
As there are so many dog breeds to choose from prospective owners are spoilt for choice, and a canine expert has named the one breed he claims has all the qualities to make the perfect family pet Countless households across Britain are home to pet dogs, with a large variety of breeds to choose from. A dog's breed can significantly impact its temperament, how easily it can be trained, its energy requirements and potential health issues. Dog owners will be well aware that certain breeds demand more physical activity than others, making them ideal companions for energetic families. Personality traits also differ between breeds, with some being naturally sociable and outgoing whilst others tend to be more reserved. Future dog owners face a number of considerations when contemplating welcoming a four-legged friend into their household, and one specialist has revealed his ultimate breed recommendation. Will Atherton is a clinical canine behaviourist and the founder of WA Academy and Will Atherton Canine Centre and he has gained a substantial following across Instagram, TikTok and Youtube where he shares his dog knowledge and guidance. In a recent TikTok video, Atherton shared why he thinks labradors are the top dog breed. He said: "Labradors are the best dog breed on the planet, and it's not really a discussion that I'm open to having a debate on because in my opinion, it's simply facts." The canine expert then explained the reasoning behind his strong opinion. He said that labradors were "bred to be amazing with people, hyper intelligent, amazing with other dogs" and taught to be "calm, relaxed and stable and to not have any form of aggression in them whatsoever." Atherton has sung the praises of labradors, claiming they "have a huge desire to please their owners" and an "incredible food and toy drive" which he says makes them a breeze to train. He enthused: "They really are the complete package to build the perfect family pet." In his TikTok video's caption, the dog behaviour expert, who deals with rescue dogs and those at risk of euthanasia daily, stated that he "hand on heart" believes if everyone picked a labrador as their first dog, there would be "50%+ less dogs in shelters." Atherton has noticed that many canine problems arise from people picking breeds they're "woefully underprepared for." He elaborated: "All dogs need leadership and solid training, but Labradors make leading them and training them easy, and when things go wrong it's very rarely seriously wrong, and are usually the easiest breeds to rectify issues with. So more labs would mean less dogs in shelters. "And when you've proven you're capable of being a high level canine leader then explore the idea of other breeds." The PDSA, the UK's top veterinary charity, echoes Atherton's statements, describing labradors on its website as "devoted, affectionate, loving dogs that will happily get along with everyone." The site also notes that labradors are "obedient, quick to learn and eager to please, so training should be fairly easy." Atherton's TikTok clip has amassed 442,100 views, 29,100 likes and nearly 900 comments so far. One user gushed: "Black girl labs will forever be my all time favourite, I couldn't live without mine." Another added: "I completely agree with the idea that Labradors are a great choice for first-time dog owners. "Their temperament and ease of training make them ideal for building leadership and confidence as a pet owner. Starting with a Labrador can definitely help prevent many of the issues that arise with less suited breeds. "It's refreshing to see someone so dedicated to both rescue dogs and helping owners understand the importance of choosing the right breed for their lifestyle. Keep up the amazing work!"
