Molly-Mae Hague’s fans jump to her defence as ‘jealous and bitter’ critic insists her first class trip to the Maldives with Bambi, 11 months, is ‘not exactly hard’

Molly-Mae Haag's fans came to her defense on Thursday when she came under fire for flying first class with her 11-month-old daughter Bambi.

The Love Island star, 24, jetted off to the £4,300-a-night Ritz-Carlton in the Maldives fiance Tommy Fury and their daughter – something she confessed she was “proud” of due to the long-distance nature of the trip.

Earlier this week, she had shared images from the trip, with photos of Bambi lying in her reclining seat and photos of her lavish food during the flight – leading to scorn and later defense of the star from her many fans.

Alongside a slew of sweet videos and clips, Molly wrote: “It feels so hard to have gotten our girl to the other side of the world, to which one fan replied: “Not exactly hard when you're flying business class and you get to lie down with her. She's a happy girl'.

In the comments section of the bikini-clad photos of her cuddling Bambi, fans responded to the comment, writing, “Jealous or what or just like you're a TROLL… bit bitter healing… are you jealous??.. .that It sounds like you begrudge her that privilege.'

Her defenders wrote: 'Ah yes, a baby immediately knows what it's like in business class and decides not to cry for the usual reasons they would cry simply because they're in business class… that sounds like you're telling her that privilege begrudged. …

'It's difficult to fly for hours with young children, no matter what class you fly. She is a great role model as a mother. Mollie and Tommy did a great job. I enjoy following their beautiful journey as a young family…

'Jesus, give her a break, she's doing a great job and she's a great role model for young mothers – you'll never see her falling out of nightclubs – she spends her money and time wisely herself and Tommy is a great bunch…

“I was just about to comment because I loved these supportive comments from women, and then I saw yours. Be less negative about your New Year's promise.'

She continued, “I've experienced it in more ways than one.

“I'm hoping that in about a week or so I'll be in a place mentally and physically emotionally where I can get back to filming some good content for you guys and getting back on my channel.

'So please be patient, I really want to get back to you. I love you guys and I'll talk to you very soon.”
