Molly-Mae Hague shares RARE throwback photos and we're obsessed
A Molly-Mae we've never seen before 😳
Molly-Mae Hague has shared some rare snaps of her life before Love Island - and it's fair to say that the 22-year-old was born to be an influencer if these recent throwback snaps are anything to go by.
The former Love Island star, now Creative Director of PrettyLittleThing, has shared a glorious snap of herself and her BFF Stephanie Lam all dressed up in their Irish dancing gear. She captioned the snap: 'Can you cope 😂😩🥺 @stephanielam.'
She shared the snap from a recent trip to Ireland, where she and Steph enjoyed a weekend away watching the Championships.
This isn't the first time Molly-Mae has blessed us with some throwback photos. Earlier this year, she shocked her fans by sharing a flurry of HILARIOUS (her words, not ours) throwback snaps of herself back in her fashion college days.
Molly-Mae also shared a snap of her very first paid Instagram post back when she was just 16. In the snap, a very young Molly is seen posing in her childhood bedroom in a red jumper and black hair bow.
'This was the first time I was ever paid by a brand to promote 🥺 I was 16! I got paid £25 for a post', she wrote.
Just like the rest of us, Molly cringe at some of her old photos, especially one where she was wearing denim jeans with HUGE rips and rocking space buns with the caption: 'No one talk to me 😂😂.'
In another snap, Molly was seen holding a Starbucks coffee (she hasn't changed, babes) and camel open-toed shoes: 'My toes are basically touching the concrete 😶😶😶😶 I'm upset.' (sic).
What did Molly-Mae do before Love Island?
Before finding fame on Love Island, a teenage Molly-Mae worked as a lifeguard at a leisure centre alongside her sister Zoe for three years. In July 2020, the influencer shared a rare snap taken during her time in the role.
In the throwback picture, Molly looks rather unimpressed as she eats her lunch in a kitchen while wearing her fluorescent yellow and red uniform. She captioned the post: 'This really killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 @ zoehague. Honestly I still have nightmares about this staff room.'
Molly-Mae also worked as a retail assistant in Boots in her hometown of Hitchin in Hertfordshire just two years before she jetted off to Mallorca to enter the villa. She’s previously shared a number of pictures from her time working the shop although she admitted she spent more time in the toilet than she did behind the tills.
'Here's me sat on the toilet. Hiding from shop floor..... which I did most shifts x', she wrote alongside one selfie.
Molly’s retail career didn’t last long though as she eventually decided to pursue a career as a full-time influencer and managed to make a name for herself even before she appeared on the ITV2 show.
As fans of the show will know, it was on Love Island 2019 that Molly-Mae met her boyfriend Tommy Fury, with the pair hitting it off instantly.
Despite a few twists and turns in their Love Island journey, the pair powered through and finished in second place. Although the pair were the bookies' favourites to win, they lost out to Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea.
Molly-Mae and Tommy's relationship, however, has gone from strength to strength, with the pair quickly moving in together in Manchester.
In 2021, the shocking news broke that the pair's Manchester home had been broken into, with thousands of pounds worth of good being stolen. Addressing the matter, Molly-Mae described the event as "without a doubt the worst thing that's ever happened to me".
2022 seems to be looking on the up for the pair, however, with Molly-Mae revealing to her fans in March that after a three-year search, her and Tommy had finally bought their first home, with the influencer launching an Instagram for the house named 'Molly Maison'.
Molly-Mae has since given frequent updates on her house journey, from decorating to house-warming parties! We can't wait to see what she has in store next.
