Who is her famous mum?
Molly's mum Janet is an actress who has appeared in Coronation Street a number of times.
Starring as a nurse in 2005, Janet later played the role of a receptionist in 2008, before returning as an ITU nurse in 2009.
Despite having the same surname, Molly isn't related to Kym Marsh.
Does she live on a farm?
She does! Speaking to bosses ahead of her entry into the villa, Molly said: "I live on a farm with my mum, dad, sister, grandma, grandad, aunty, uncle, cousin, cousin’s husband, their baby and chicken."
Why is she taking part in Love Island?
Molly told bosses: "I think it’s ideal timing and the perfect way to find someone. I don’t go out and party and I don’t use dating apps, I’m actually quite old-fashioned, so there’s no better way to meet someone than by going into a Villa in the sun with the potential ‘one’ in there."
Has Molly been on Love Island before?
Although she's not been on the show before, she has been to the villa in both South Africa and Mallorca in the past!
She said: "With my job being in social media, I’ve had some amazing opportunities to go on press trips and I’ve actually been out to the Love Island Villas in Mallorca and South Africa. Having the experience to walk around both was amazing but to now actually live in the Villa is going to be incredible."
Who is Molly coupled up with on Love Island?
During the launch show for series 10 on Monday 5th June, the public chose to couple Molly up with 26-year-old gas engineer Mitchel Taylor.
Despite the pair only knowing each other for 24 hours, many viewers have predicted the pair could be this year's winners!
Check out all of the current Love Island couples:
Ella B and Mitchel
New girl Ella B set her sights on Mitchel and it didn't take long for her to turn his head away from Abi.

Although new girl Ella B threatened to cause trouble for these two due to her 'history' with Ty, the pair remained coupled, with Ty even admitting to Whitney that he 'loves' Ella T.
