Just days ago, the mum-of-one, 26, went on a romantic getaway with Tommy, also 26, to the Isle of Man.

The former Love Island stars looked every inch the happy family as they toured the quaint location, but now, in her most recent vlog which was uploaded to YouTube just 16 hours ago, the Maebe founder has set the record straight on the nightmare start to their trip.
Earlier this month, Tommy revealed he was banning Bambi from "five star hotels and business class flights” and instead, bought a motorhome.
And Tommy’s Elddis Avalon 255 didn’t come cheap, and whilst they normally retail at £93,490, they are now being sold online for an eye-watering £86,995.
Despite having the privilege of being able to enjoy a holiday in the luxury vehicle, things didn’t get off to the smoothest of starts, as Molly-Mae, who previously admitted she is “selfish” and is “not cut out” to deal with the stresses of parenting, explained: “Tommy has bought a motorhome and we spent our first weekend in the motorhome this weekend.
“Obviously, being us, we went in feet first and decided to go to the Isle of Man.
“Tommy’s family were spending the weekend in the Isle of Man. I was feeling spontaneous so we literally booked the ferry to the Isle of Man an hour before we needed to leave.
“We’d never used the motorhome before, we needed to pack it up, sort Bambi, I just had this wave of ‘you only live once, have a bit of fun’.
“Bambi doesn’t need to be so perfectly routine every day, she’s not a newborn anymore.
“I’ve got so stuck in my ways with the fact that her routine is her routine and I don’t really steer away from it.
“I’m not gonna feel bad for that because that is what works for me and that is what works for Bambi and Tommy, so that’s fine.”

'We had a huge delay'
But steering clear of the two-year-old’s routine proved to be a real challenge, as the Love Island star turned businesswoman added: “So anyway, booked the ferry, packed the motorhome up and nearly didn’t make the ferry but that’s another story and then there was a two hour delay.
“This ferry, which was already gonna get us in at 11:30pm, which was already severely triggering me because Bambi goes to bed at 7pm.”
And things quickly went downhill, as the Filter founder, who lives in a huge £3.5million mansion, admitted: “Was not fine. It was giving me a prime example as to why the routine works for us.

“It was one of those moments where strangers come up to you and are like ‘can I help? Is there anything I can do?’
“She was screaming that much for four hours straight.
“The boat basically had a malfunction and it wouldn’t move for like two hours so we had a huge delay.
“She was so, so, so overtired and overstimulated - Bambi is so routine, she is the opposite of flexible.”
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.”
'It was a lot'
And once the family had arrived at the Isle of Man, things continued in a slightly sour way, as the blonde beauty confessed: “We managed to get to the Isle of Man at 1:30am in the morning.
“We didn’t know where we were, what we were doing, we were going to a different campsite to Tommy’s family. It was just a lot.

“We had to make our bed out of this sofa, I was like ‘I’m really out of my depth, I’m struggling’.
“The next day, Bambi was so tired, she was just screaming, literally screaming, so, so unhappy.
“Me and Tommy were looking at each other like ‘what were we thinking?’”

The content creator who boasts 1.9million subscribers on YouTube and has a jaw-dropping £6million fortune, then acknowledged: “I was having a breakdown.”
Not only this, but she also recognised: “Bear in mind this motorhome of Tommy’s is his pride and joy, he’s obsessed with it…I kid you not, the next day he was like ‘I’m selling it, the minute we get home I’m putting it up for sale, I hate this motorhome.’
“It wasn’t even the motorhome’s fault. For our first time, stupid move.”
However, the mum-of-one, who recently opened up on “destroying” her face during her filler phase, explained that once she and Tommy met up with Tyson Fury, his wife Paris and their seven children, things soon improved.
She recalled: “We were actually going to get on a ferry that day to come home because we were so out of our depth, we couldn’t do it.
“But then, when we met up with them, we were like ‘no, we’re gonna stick it out, we can do this.’”

Social media users react
Molly-Mae’s motorhome debacle has since been re-shared on numerous social media platforms, but has been met with a very harsh response from viewers.
One person said: “Why is she always complaining about something? If it’s not her, it’s her sister. How insufferable must it be living with them.”
Very self-centred and immature

Another added: “Get a grip.”
A third commented: “So dramatic.”
Meanwhile, someone else rolled their eyes and wrote: “Molly you are painful…”
Not only this, but another penned: “I personally feel it would have been so much better to wait to have children, she’s so successful and mature in one way but very self-centred and immature in others as seen here.”
