Molly-Mae Hague says you 'gotta do what you gotta do' after marking sweet Bambi 'first'

Molly-Mae Hague has said you 'gotta do what you gotta do' as some criticised her for heading to the gym shortly after giving birth. The former Love Island star welcomed her first child, daughter Bambi, into the world with her boyfriend Tommy Fury on January 23.

And at the end of last week, Molly-Mae was been forced to issue a clarification after she shared a look at her return to the gym three weeks after giving birth to her first child. The influencer shared how she had made a gentle return to her home gym workouts three and a half weeks after giving birth as she filmed herself for videos posted to her Instagram Story.

After watching her self-filmed footage, Molly-Mae typed alongside the post: "These videos made me realise my [peach] has tripled in size from having Bambi [crying laughing emoji]. She then added: "Some serious toning needed but I'll get there in time."

She then shared a picture of herself in the gym, where she donned a pair of grey leggings and a black, long-sleeved workout top with her blonde locks scraped back into a bun. "3.5 week postpartum," she penned. "So beyond excited to get me fitness back... Never felt so ready to get my body back moving again."

And the new mum has clearly been enjoying getting some time to herself - sort of. Taking to her Instagram Story on Tuesday (February 21), the 23-year-old shared a video of her sweating it out on the step machine in her home gym while her older sister, Zoe, was working out alongside her.

But they weren't alone as Bambi, who is now four weeks old, was filmed by Molly-Mae chilling out in the background,
