Molly-Mae Hague shows off her stretch marks in blue bikini as she overcomes her lack of body confidence

Molly-Mae Hague has proudly shown her stretch marks after finding the courage to wear a bikini again. The former Love Island  star, 23, who lives in Cheshire, is currently on a luxurious getaway in Athens, Greece, with her boyfriend Tommy Fury, 23, and daughter, Bambi.

The mum-of-one has been regularly opening up about her body image issues in her YouTube vlogs since the arrival of her baby girl, Bambi in January. However, it seems that she has now  found the courage to wear a bikini again, after previously telling fans that she doesn’t think she’ll ever feel confident enough to wear one.

Molly-Mae took to Instagram on Tuesday to share snaps of herself posing in a bikini top and white trousers, before sharing another snap of her getting ready to soak up the Greek sun. After posting the bikini snap she explained that she became “overwhelmed” whilst reading replies from fans in her inbox.

She posted a close up snap showing the stretch marks on her hip, and wrote: “My DM’s are making me 😢😢💙.” She also shared a message from one follower, who commented: "You made it into a bikini. Total inspo for a mam with a new baby!"

Molly-Mae explained: “I spoke on my YouTube about how I don’t think I’ll ever want to reach for a bikini on holiday again/feel confident in one... I didn’t even bring any with me on this trip! But today, I went to the shop here and bought one because I realised WHO ACTUALLY CARES!”

The former Creative Director of PLT continued: "The thought of putting on a bikini before the holiday is always much more daunting than doing it in the moment and whilst on the trip... pack the bikinis mamas. And my girls who don’t normally, I promise you that no one’s judging/cares."

She posted a video to her stories showing her diving into the “icey cold” sea, before sharing a snap of devoted dad, Tommy, cradling their six-month old daughter.. Molly-Mae then shared with her followers a glimpse of the stunning views in Greece, from what looked like a luxury boat.
