Millionaire Molly-Mae Hague admits she and Tommy Fury are 'still not back to normal' despite reconciliation as she opens up about parenting struggles after fans accused her of 'always moaning'
Molly-Mae Hague has admitted she and Tommy Fury are 'still figuring things out' after reconciling earlier this year. The former Love Island star, 26, hit back at followers who claimed her sister and fellow influencer Zoe, 28, was 'more of a dad' to two-year-old daughter Bambi after spotting the boxer missing from her many vlogs. In her latest YouTube video Molly-Mae defended him and said: 'I've seen so many comments saying "Zoe is more the dad" I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with Tommy literally 80% of the week and he is with Bambi majority of the week,' 'But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family'. Before adding: 'I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to'. Molly-Mae later broke down in tears as she opened up about the toddler's tantrum and explained that everything was a 'huge problem' even convincing the toddler to wear shoes. Filming herself in the driving seat with Bambi in the back she said: 'I'm trying so so hard to stay positive but, I feel like I need to keep my camera running all day so you can see like every single thing,' '[Bambi] is a huge problem, [She] screams [I] can't even get like socks and shoes on'. Molly-Mae and Tommy split in August last year, later citing the boxer's struggle with alcohol as the reason for their break-up, but reconciled earlier this year. They have faced accusations their breakup was a 'publicity stunt' after they were filmed sharing a passionate kiss on New Year's Eve ahead of the launch of her three-part Prime Video series. Molly previously said her biggest 'frustration' was having their breakup questioned by skeptics when there was a lot more happening behind the scenes. Elsewhere in the new video Molly-Mae tearfully broke her silence following recent backlash from fans who once again branded the whinging millionaire influencer 'out of touch'. She has been accused of 'always moaning' in recent weeks after complaining she'd 'not done one fun thing all summer' despite jetting off to multiple destinations. She also faced criticism after complaining about a recent £86,000 motorhome holiday. Molly-Mae's sister has also come under fire for her 'tone deaf' posts of late after revealing she had fled Bali for Dubai after just 48 hours because it didn't live up to her expectations. In the clip Molly-Mae claimed that she 'didn't care' about the uproar but has been left 'scared' about discussing anything 'controversial' She said: 'I don't care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff thats going on on T ikTok at the minute, I don't care i'm not going to not talk about it'. She later went on: 'I feel like I don't want to talk about anything controversial anymore because in the last video I said some things I probably could have worded better and even with all the motherhood things I am talking about at the minute, it's just a lot'. 'Debunking that whole thing about me feeling like I shouldn't talk about what is going on in the day because I am scared about what people will think and what they have to say about it'. Last week fans blasted the TV personality for 'always moaning' after after she said she'd 'not done one fun thing all summer' despite jetting off to multiple destinations. She said in her vlog: 'I said to a friend the other day, that I'm going to make it to the end of summer having not done one fun thing.' She then spoke to her sister and said: 'Zoe, I haven't socialised once. I'm going to get to the end of this summer having not done one social fun thing. 'I haven't a life. That's not good is it. Summer will end and I've not done one fun social thing.' It left some fans open-mouthed as they called out how she failed to acknowledge the three holidays she's already been on this year. Some comments read: 'She's a millionaire, she can literally wake up tomorrow and do whatever the hell she wants', 'Wimbledon, lunches, Spain, Dubai, France, Centre Parcs... let's normalise that', 'This was so jarring because she can casually spend 6k in Dior on an outfit to log to Wimbledon then complains she has no time for herself', 'Why does she always want us to feel sorry for her?' The mum-of-one - in this year alone - has been on no expense-spared trips to Dubai, Budapest and even Disneyland in 2025. Back in March she and Tommy Fury took baby Bambi on a family holiday to the United Arab Emirates, marking a reunion holiday for the clan. Just a month later Tommy had treated Molly to a European trip as the pair enjoyed downtime in Budapest. During their break, they stayed at The Pullman, a five-star hotel where prices start from at least £500 per night. Meanwhile, in May the doting parents took Bambi to Disneyland Paris where they enjoyed a lavish stay at the park's resort. It comes after her candid complaints about a recent £86,000 motorhome holiday her family went on - after Tommy said their daughter Bambi shouldn't be spoilt with five star trips. The family were travelling on a swanky Elddis Avalon 255 motorhome. Meanwhile her sister Zoe came under fire for complaining about a recent trip too. Molly-Mae's influencer sister was recently mocked by fans for leaving Bali after just 48 hours because it didn't live up to her expectations. Instead she and her husband Danny made a last minute decision to fly to Dubai instead after Zoe, 28, took to social media to admit 'something wasn't quite right'. The fitness influencer had planned the trip to Indonesia with her husband Danny to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. And despite staying in a huge sea view room at the Radisson Blu, a five-star hotel, they decided to leave early and jet to Dubai instead. Zoe explained that Bali looks better on social media than in real life, as influencers make it look luxurious, despite it being a developing country. In a YouTube video, Zoe told the camera: 'Since landing in Bali, something for us wasn't quite right. 'We came here with high expectations because we had seen on social media that everyone was having such a lovely time. Lovely places to eat and beaches, and lovely gyms and coffee shops. 'But I don't think the reality of Bali is shown much at all, and I do think it is down to a lot of influencers posting the more luxury side of things.' She added: 'Before joining the army, I spent five months travelling South East Asia. I did Thailand, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, I did a lot and spent time in these countries. But there is something very different about Bali. 'We got told Uluwatu where we are now is one of the best places to go, so if this is one of the better places, I'm not sure where the other places are like. 'I wasn't going to sit down and say anything, but people want to know.' Danny then joined the video and said: 'You either go on holiday to travel and experience culture or you want to go away and relax.' Zoe continued: 'Yeah, and we could have got a flight tomorrow as today is our anniversary, but time is precious and we just want to get out, and why delay it. 'We missed the mark, maybe we didn't do our own research, maybe it is our own fault. I did a lot of research though. 'I think it is just personal preference, and our preference was that this isn't for us, and we are making the executive decision to go enjoy our anniversary somewhere we know that we love and can relax and can drink the water.'

Filipinos find new opportunities, make waves as content creators in UAE
MANILA: Margarete Serrano's foray into content creation began in the Philippines nearly two decades ago, when she would upload comedy skits while juggling her responsibilities as a nursing student. What was then a hobby had a boost a few years later, as she moved to Abu Dhabi in 2014, where she found employment as a private nurse. Known online as Em, she started sharing food reviews from her new home abroad. 'Some restaurant owners and managers began to notice my posts and invited me to revisit, which marked the beginning of my food blogging journey. Eventually, I returned to vlogging as well,' Serrano told Arab News. Today, she has nearly 160,000 followers across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, and has transitioned into full-time content creation, sharing her culinary, travel experiences and tips for other overseas Filipino workers. 'I actively participate in community and volunteer events. Through my content, I aim to spread positivity, hope and kindness,' she said. 'I want to inspire others to do good, give back and uplift one another — especially within the Filipino community.' Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia and the UAE, are home to nearly 2 million Filipinos. About 700,000 of them live in the UAE. Traditionally employed in health care, education and corporate sectors, some of them, such as Serrano, have turned their social media-savviness and digital creativity into new opportunities. With followers ranging from hundreds of thousands to more than a million, they rise to online fame with content varying from comedy skits to wellbeing, lifestyle and informative videos that help Filipinos adapt and adjust to life in the Middle East. Michael Banua moved to Dubai in 2017 with a degree in chemistry and began his career as an account manager for a construction company. But storytelling has always been his passion. He now pursues it professionally. 'I've always loved storytelling. I once dreamed of becoming a filmmaker or writer, but life took me elsewhere. Content creation brought that dream back. Now I get to tell real, relatable stories in my own way every day,' Banua told Arab News. His 116,000 followers on Instagram are drawn to positive and lighthearted content, in which he always tries to include Filipino culture — 'from humor to everyday moments, so other nationalities can see and appreciate who we are,' he said. 'It's my way of giving Filipinos here a piece of home while celebrating Dubai's diversity, too.' His compatriot and fellow Dubai-based creator, Jep Laguitan, retains his main job as a photographer and videographer. Having lived in the UAE for the past 12 years, he has earned nearly 200,000 followers on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, aiming his content at Filipinos. 'Mostly, I do comedy videos which attract more OFW audiences,' he said. '(It) makes our kabayan (compatriots) forget about the stress of their day.' Others, such as Mark Ilano, who has about 230,000 followers on Instagram alone, are focused on specific themes. Iland has become widely recognized for his content on menswear as well as Dubai city, creating posts dispensing advice for fashion and styling, as well as smart shopping and money-saving tips. 'I liked the idea of building a community around things we all care about and putting out content that's fun, helpful or inspiring,' he said. 'At first, it was just a hobby, but over time I realized it was something I really wanted to take more seriously.' For Rechel Hoco, who has more than 1 million followers on Facebook alone, the content career also started out of sudden. 'I would film my daily life as an OFW — simple things, nothing fancy. Then one day, I made a video about trying mandi in Dubai, and it suddenly went viral. That's when I realized, 'OK, maybe this is something I can actually grow.' That's where it all began,' she told Arab News. As one of the most high-profile Filipino content creators in the Middle East, Hoco sees her content as something that reflects her embrace of Dubai as home. 'I moved to Dubai in search of better opportunities, and this city gave me more than I ever dreamed of,' she said. 'It helped me grow not just in my career, but also as a person.'

Get the Action Camera You Deserve This Prime Day
Skip to main content Action cameras are perfect for travel, social media vlogging, and careening around the lake on a jet ski. Upgrade your action camera with one of these great Prime Day deals. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. There are a lot of action cameras on sale right now, but this is the best deal. The Hero 13 Black was a big update for GoPro's flagship cam. It now features an interchangeable lens system, which makes it a much more versatile camera. If the standard lens doesn't fit your use case, there's also an Ultra Wide Lens Mod ($96) with a 177-degree field of view, a Macro Lens Mod ($130) for close-ups, and an Anamorphic Lens Mod ($130) with a 21:9 aspect ratio and those sweet, sweet movie-style lens flares. The Hero 13 Black also finally got a magnetic mounting system, and a new, larger battery that lasts up to an hour and 45 minutes when shooting 4K (battery life depends a lot on ambient temps; if it's hot, that number will drop). GoPro has also dropped a white version and a forest green version if black is too boring for you. Just look at that flip-up screen, and imagine your lovely mug reflected at you like the light of a thousand suns. Doesn't your lovely mug deserve a Leica lens and glorious 8K video selfies? Selfie video? Velfies? I don't know what the kids call it, but if you're into it this is a great deal on a serious upgrade from your phone. Read my full review of the Ace Pro 2 for all the details, but everything you want is here–a large 1/1.3-inch sensor capable of 8K video at 30 fps, great audio, best-in-class low-light video, and good battery life. There's even support for log video and USB mic connections when you hit your auteur stage. This is the lowest price we've ever seen for the Ace Pro 2. The Insta360 X4 is a great deal at this price. Even at full price, it's our favorite budget 360 camera thanks to great 1/2-inch sensors, which can capture up to 8K video. The dynamic range is very good compared to everything but the newer Insta360 X5, which is better. The other major thing you give up compared to the X5 is PureVideo mode, which really helps in low light. The low-light capabilities of the X4 are, frankly, dreadful. Still, you're saving $165 off the price of the X5, in light of that these are not huge sacrifices. The X4 has good battery life and, like the X5, can be used in single-lens mode, giving you a 4K action camera in addition to your 360 camera.

DJI Osmo Action 4 Camera with Dual Touchscreens Sees Price Crash, Did Amazon Make a Mistake?
Amazon is pulling all the stops on Prime Day, cutting the price on some of the most popular items from the largest brands to their all-time low price. Among this year's steamiest deals is on the DJI Osmo Action 4 which has become a favorite among vloggers. You can get the DJI Osmo Action 4 standard combo for $209 today, discounted from its regular $299. That's a nice 30% discount, the lowest Amazon has offered this camera. Even better, this is a sale open to everyone (Prime member or not) so it's one you'll not want to miss. See at Amazon At its heart lies a spacious 1/1.3-inch sensor, implying finer image quality particularly in difficult lighting conditions. Whether shooting at sunrise or sunset, or in low-light environments, this camera captures clear footage with great clarity. 4K video at up to 120 frames per second enables you to capture fantastically smooth slow-motion footage, perfect for sport, travel, or creative use when detail matters. One of the Osmo Action 4's strengths in comparison to its competitors is its ability to function in low light: With the help of advanced sensor technology and DJI image processing, you experience vivid real-life colors and sharp captures even after dark. The camera also incorporates 10-bit color and D-Log M color profiles which provide creators with more room to maneuver when editing and your videos will look filmic and professional. It's made to go wherever your trip takes you with a water-resistant case that lets you dive as deep as 18 meters without ever needing a special casing. Surf, snorkel, get swept up in an unexpected rainstorm and your camera's got you covered. The hearty build construction means you can count on it to withstand bumps, drops, and whatever else you dish out in the great great outdoors. Battery life is always a concern with action cameras but the Osmo Action 4 addresses this with a long-lasting battery that can keep recording for up to 160 minutes on a single charge. That's more than enough for a full day of exploring and the fast-charging capability means you'll spend less time waiting and more time capturing memories. The dual touchscreen design (one on the front and one on the back) makes framing shots, reviewing footage and adjusting settings quick and intuitive. For Prime Day, the DJI Osmo Action 4 at $209 is a deal you can't pass up. See at Amazon
