Molly-Mae Hague’s fans launched to her defence on Thursday, when she came under fire for flying first class with her 11-month-old daughter Bambi.
The Love Island star, 24, has jetted to the £4,300 a night Ritz-Carlton in the Maldives with her fiancé Tommy Fury and their daughter – something she confessed she was ‘proud’ of due to the long-haul nature of the journey.
Earlier in the week, she had shared images of the journey, with pictures of Bambi lying down in her reclining seat as well as shots of her lavish in-flight food – which led to disdain and later defence of the star from her many fans.
Alongside a slew of sweet videos and clips, Molly wrote: ‘Feeling so proud to have gotten our girl to the other side of the world’, to which a fan replied: ‘No exactly hard when you fly business class, and you can lie down with her. She’s one lucky girl.’
In the comments section of bikini-clad snaps of her hugging Bambi, fans hit back at the comment, penning: ‘Jealous or what or just like being a TROLL’, ‘bit bitter helen’, ‘you jealous??.’ and ‘that sounds like you begrudge her that privilege’.
Molly-Mae was giving insights into the trip with her followers, starting with the plane journey over which led to the ‘catty’ comment from a fan.
Her defenders wrote: ‘Ah yes a baby instantly knows their in business class and decides not to cry for any of the usual reasons they would cry, simply because they’re in business class… that sounds like you begrudge her that privilege…
‘It’s difficult to fly for hours with young children no matter what class you choose to fly in. She is a great role model as a mum Mollie and Tommy have done a great job. I for one enjoy following their wonderful journey as a young family…
‘Jesus give her a break shes doing a great job and shes a great role model for young mums – you will never see her falling out of nightclubs – she spends her money and time wisely herself and tommy are an amazing couple…
‘I was just going to comment, loving these supportive comments off women, then I seen yours. for your new year promise, be less negative.’
Amid the discussion among her fans, Molly-Mae has been sharing adorable family portraits – including shots showing Tommy and Bambi.
The couple beamed as they posed with their girl on a golf buggy. The influencer looked incredible in a red bikini and white trousers as she coordinated with her daughter who looked cute in a red and white patterned swimsuit.

She captioned the cute post: ‘365 days later✨’, adding another image of the trio on her Stories.
The lavish trip comes after the pair sparked concern among fans following Tommy’s recent wild nights out in Dubai.
After claims she was ‘mortified’ by his partying behaviour, Molly-Mae was spotted with and without her £600,000 engagement ring on multiple occasions.
The star has since shared with fans on her YouTube account that ‘things aren’t always going to be perfect’, while also admitting ‘she’ll be back soon’ on her social media to fans, following the on-going speculation.

In the closing moments of the video, the former ITV2 star got emotional and admitted she wasn’t ‘mentally or emotionally’ in a place to film.
She explained: ‘Guys, I don’t really know what to come on here and tell you right now. I know how bad I look. Trust me, however bad I look, I feel 20 times worse.’
She continued: ‘I have been going through it in more ways than one.
‘I am hoping, in say about a week, I might be in a place mentally, physically emotionally where I can start filming some proper content for you guys again and get back on my channel.
‘So please bear with me, I am really desperate to come back to you guys. I love you guys and I will speak to you very soon.’
