Molly-Mae Hague: 'I wanted to tell my daughter I did it alone as I launched my new fashion line'

Influencer and ex-Love Islander Molly-Mae Hague has told of her decision to completely self-fund her new fashion line.

Hague, who has a daughter Bambi, one, with British boxer Tommy Fury, explained that launching her womenswear line, Maebe, as “independently as possible was really important to me”, adding: “I wanted to be able to say to Bambi in the future that I did it alone.”
