After filler “left her looking like an Xbox controller”, the Maebe founder, 25, recalled that trolls were right, she did look like Glenn Quagmire, the fictional character from American animated sitcom Family Guy.
In part two of Molly-Mae’s documentary - Molly-Mae Behind It All - which is now available to watch on Amazon Prime, the Love Island star turned businesswoman not only got candid on her body image and her split with Tommy Fury, 26, but she also recoiled in horror at the now notorious picture, a grab taken from one of her YouTube vlogs which shows her with notable filler inflating her cheeks and lips.
At the time, experts estimated that the social media star spent over £8,000 on regular procedures.
But after the image went viral, Molly-Mae then paid thousands more to have the beauty tweakments reversed.
Just moments into episode four of her highly-anticipated show, the Filter founder who lives in a huge £3.5million mansion, reflected on looking “worse” thanks to filler, as she explained: “It's crazy because you think all that make-up and the filler - you think that doing all that makes you look better, but actually it makes you look 10 times worse.
“I was about 16/17, when I started getting filler. It was such a slippery slope.
“There's this viral picture of me, people say, I look like an Xbox controller.”
Not only this, but the blonde beauty who broke up with Tommy Fury, 26, last August, but has now confirmed that they are back together, admitted: “People say, look like a Quagmire...To be fair, I get that.
“The Xbox controller I can really see. That is really, really scary and really, really bad.
“I definitely felt like it was something that I needed to do, to look like everybody else that was on Instagram, which is really unhealthy and really not good.”
Getting candid, the content creator who boasts 1.9million subscribers on YouTube and has a jaw-dropping £6million fortune, confessed: “I look at those pictures and I actually feel quite sorry for myself.

“I think that I must have been obviously feeling like I needed to do that to my face.”
Moments later, Molly-Mae’s sister Zoe recalled a very awkward moment when a mystery celebrity mocked the mum-of-one’s face at the height of her filler journey.

Molly-Mae’s older sister Zoe, 28, who was previously hailed as the new ‘It Girl’, explained: “As long as I can remember, her appearance is something that Molly has always struggled with.”
Not only this, but Zoe, who recently moved into Molly-Mae’s home and earlier this year was in ‘hiding’ after an unfortunate Botox side effect, highlighted: “She had this fame absolutely come out of the blue basically and had all these fresh eyes on her.
Molly-Mae's glow-down from ‘glamour model’ to ‘yummy mummy’
Celebrity PR Expert, Ed Hopkins told Fabulous: “I believe Molly-Mae Hague's new look is more than just a style change but a powerful statement of who she is becoming.
“It underscores her journey towards authenticity, maturity, and sophistication and is likely to enhance her success and influence in the years to come.”
Brand and Culture Expert Nick Ede agreed, and told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae has transformed herself into a yummy mummy who has ditched the glamour model style for a more relaxed and natural look.
“She’s becoming more down to earth and relatable to people and cleverly showing a softer side which will win her legions more fans in the process.”
According to Ed Hopkins, Molly-Mae’s chic new look could be “highly lucrative” for the star.
Ed told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae Hague's transformation towards a more natural, chic look seems to be a testament to her personal growth and evolving style.
“This change, which has become more pronounced since she became a mother, appears to reflect her journey towards embracing authenticity and sophistication.
“It's possible that this new image could be highly lucrative for Molly-Mae.
“Her chic, understated style might appeal to a wider audience, including more mature demographics and high-end brands, potentially opening up lucrative endorsement deals and partnerships.
“By adopting a more elegant look, she seems to align herself with premium and luxury brands that favour natural beauty and sophistication, which could lead to higher-paying collaborations.
“Additionally, with consumers increasingly valuing authenticity and natural beauty, her new image could be both timely and marketable.”
Nick Ede agreed and told Fabulous: “She has started to promote some really great luxury brands including the cosmetics brand Tatcha and with her laid back look she will make a lot of money from brands looking to align with her.”
Ed also noted that Molly-Mae’s transformation may be a sign that she is looking to step away from her reality show past.
He continued: “Molly-Mae's transformation also seems to symbolise her desire even more so to well and truly step out of the shadow of her Love Island persona.
“The shift to a more mature and unique style appears to demonstrate her growth and her wish to be seen as an individual beyond her reality TV beginnings.
“By shedding the bold, flashy look associated with her time on Love Island, she might be rebranding herself as a serious businesswoman and influencer who is carving out her own identity.
“This new look helps her stand out in the crowded influencer market, showcasing her as a trendsetter with a distinctive, refined aesthetic.”
Nick agreed and claimed: “Shedding the flash looks she previously went for, she's also detaching herself from the Love Island stereotype and stepping out as her own person with a cool look that’s not flashy but totally on trend.
“Gone are the 'look at me' posts and in are family style posts and trend led fashion statements.”
“At her BeautyWorks event, my mum and I were in the toilets.
"Someone else famous was in there talking about her and talking about how bad her face looked and how much work she had done to her face.
She did look silly and had too much, far too much filler in her face

“Then me and my mum walked out, and the person was a bit taken back that we'd listened to the whole conversation.”
Although stunned by the situation, Zoe acknowledged: “I completely agreed with them.
“She did look silly and had too much, far too much filler in her face.”
To this, Molly-Mae beamed: “Thank God for my sister, because I could have genuinely completely destroyed my face. It was so bad.”
