Molly Marsh's mum Janet hits back after rumours claim she 'works for ITV'
Molly returned to the Love Island villa
The infamous Casa Amor returned on the 2023 series of Love Island this weekend, and with it saw the sensational comeback of former Islander Molly Marsh, who re-joined the show as a bombshell much to the shock of the boys.
After the news of Molly's return was confirmed during a sneak preview on Friday night's show, viewers got to see Molly step back into the villa on Sunday night's (2nd July) show, where she had a very awkward chat with former love interest Zachariah Noble.
But after a number of fans vented their anger and frustration that Molly had been allowed to return, with many calling it 'unfair', a number of fans believed they'd uncovered that Molly's mum Janet actually worked for ITV.
Janet, who previously briefly appeared on Coronation Street, has now slammed the claims, writing on social media: 'I just want to put you all straight on this ‘producer plant’ rubbish.
'I do NOT work for ITV!! I never have! And don’t know where this ridiculous idea has come from. I’m a teacher and part time actress and mum! Unless there is someone with the same name at ITV, but it’s 100% not me. So please don’t believe this nonsense, it’s not fair on us or Molly.'
