She has worked with Pretty Little Thing since leaving Love Island

Author: Georgie HollandPublished 22nd Jun 2023

It's no secret that Molly-Mae Hague is one of the most successful contestants to come out of Love Island, since her appearance on the show in 2019. Since leaving the villa, with her boyfriend Tommy Fury, Molly-Mae has built an incredible career, from brand deals to creating her own company - even being appointed Creative Director of fashion brand Pretty Little Thing in 2021.

The influencer has now revealed, however, that she has chosen to step down from her huge role as Creative Director. In a Q&A vlog posted on her YouTube channel, she said: "I'm still working with them, still doing collections, still doing edits, but I've actually decided to step down from my Creative Director role."

Describing the company as her "family", she added: "I will forever have the most insane relationship with PLT," before continuing: "I feel this is quite a big thing to just suddenly mention."

Explaining why she has chosen to step down, the 24-year-old revealed that since giving birth to her daughter Bambi, she has had to "lose" some commitments that she previously had.

She said: "Over the last few weeks I've definitely realised that I'm only going to get this time once with my first-born child. I'm only gonna get Bambi being four-months old once, and yeah I just feel like I have had to just like rearrange my life a little bit, and like lose some commitments that I did have.

"Myself and PLT we've decided like collectively that the Creative Director role, as much as it was incredible and I've literally loved being the Creative Director of PLT more than anything, it was such an amazing chapter for me, it's just like naturally come to an end."

She later added that the last thing she wants is to "be in a role I can't fulfil," before reiterating that there is "no drama" and "absolutely no tea", and thanking PLT for everything they have done for her career.

Speaking of how she didn't take "maternity leave", she added: "I'm a mum now. I never really gave myself a maternity leave, I kind of got straight back into work instantly."

As fans of Molly-Mae will know, she and Tommy Fury welcomed their first child together in January 2023 - their adorable baby girl Bambi.

Molly has since documented her first few months of motherhood on Instagram and her YouTube channel, including Bambi's very first holiday with her and Tommy.
