She’s as precious & dull as her stage-managed show – the REAL reason I think Molly-Mae is more embarrassment than icon

STRUTTING into the Love Island villa aged 20, with her blonde hairsbreadth extensions and filler-enhanced pout, Molly-Mae Hague became an instant Gen Z sweetheart.

She wasn’t peculiarly entertaining but was blistery truthful boys wanted to day her — and she was bully truthful girls wanted to befriend her.

Upon exiting the ITV2 world bid with hunky boxer fellow Tommy Fury successful tow, the influencer from Hertfordshire was soon a societal media sensation.

But 5 years on, arsenic I tuned into her highly anticipated Amazon Prime “docuseries”, a.k.a. world show, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, I struggled to spot what each the fuss was about.

Banal, precious and, to beryllium honest, dull, are the archetypal adjectives that spring to caput arsenic the fake-tan entrepreneur with 8 cardinal Instagram followers welcomes cameras into her satellite for the archetypal clip — speech from her popular, but arsenic mundane, vlogs.

They accidental younker is wasted connected the young, but truthful is money apparently, arsenic Molly gives america a wardrobe circuit of her baggy jeans, tonal suit jackets and prized PJ draw. Snooze, indeed.

Scenes with her toddler Bambi are adorable but insights into her narration breakdown with Tommy — helium drank excessively overmuch astatine her sister’s wedding — consciousness heavy edited and stage-managed.

We spot behind-the-scenes footage of her manner marque Maebe, which sold retired 24 minutes aft it launched past September.

Unlike her erstwhile manner venture, wherever she teamed up with fast-fashion marque PLT, Maebe flogs jeans for astir £100, hardly affordable for her teen fans.

The homebody avoids booze oregon partying, adjacent admitting she “doesn’t similar having fun” and the astir risqué faux pas she commits connected the amusement is eating McDonald’s chickenhearted nuggets down the wheel of her £200,000 Mercedes G wagon, which mightiness person road safety campaigners twitching.

Having worked arsenic a showbiz newsman for 15 years I’ve written astir hell-raising celebs, from the warring Oasis Gallagher brothers to Kate Moss’s infamous Primrose Hill set.

I’ve besides partied with Leonardo DiCaprio celebrating his Bafta win, and Snoop Dogg successful Paris, and having met these talented, lively characters I tin spot wherefore youngsters of yesteryear — america millennials — idolised them.

They were raucous, reckless and seemingly carefree. You ne'er knew what mightiness hap next. It was axenic escapism for your mean teen oregon twentysomething.

But the average, pragmatic and financially minded twentysomething contiguous would fail to beryllium impressed by the famously daft behaviour of immoderate of these A-list veterans ­ which is wherefore they look to idolise Molly Mae.

Obsession with bland

She has amassed an estimated £6million and lives successful a £4million mansion with footballers arsenic neighbours — each precise awesome to ambitious Gen Z types.

Rather than wasting her hard-earned connected portion and drugs, she revealed successful her docuseries that she buys apparel successful triplicate — she has 3 pairs of the aforesaid YSL shoes, for example. This is what youngsters aspire to these days, it seems.

And past we person the confusing concern of her narration with fiancé Tommy Fury — who she dumped weeks earlier filming of the amusement began, sharing her determination with the satellite via a curt station connected her Instagram.

Apart from wide speculation astatine the clip that helium had cheated, viewers are led to judge this determination was based connected his boozing.

But we are fixed small item astir what really happened.

And recently, this insubstantial splashed footage of Molly and Tommy snogging astatine a New Year’s Eve bash thrown by England footballer pal Luke Shaw.

Now, her determination to seemingly instrumentality Tommy backmost has near galore disappointed — suggesting to them that contempt her fiscal independence, she is rewarding atrocious behaviour.

After specified planetary humiliation, I bash wonderment if this is the close connection to beryllium sending out.

It’s surely not thing that astir millennials would basal for.

Surely, Molly has capable state and younker connected her broadside to spell retired and find idiosyncratic amended suited to her.

In the docuseries, the 25-year-old admits of her and Tommy: “I astir apt haven’t been honorable with anyone due to the fact that I’ve been holding connected to the anticipation and the thought that, arsenic soulmates, we volition ever travel backmost together.”

The saga of their on-off narration surely promises absorbing contented for the series’ adjacent occurrence driblet aboriginal this twelvemonth — and those invested successful the pair’s narration volition nary uncertainty effort to recognize Molly’s decision-making. Or beryllium shouting astatine their TVs.

But adjacent the play of her emotion beingness teeters connected the brink of boring erstwhile you comparison it with immoderate of the astir celebrated celebrity break-ups — Britney and Justin, Brad and Jen, Patsy and Liam and truthful on.

If she takes him back, the young mum is destined to look years of sleepless nights portion helium is retired with his mates.

The impulse to spell done his telephone to cheque his messages volition verge connected irresistible, and questions astir whether she has made the close determination volition loom.

While her fans volition nary uncertainty enactment her, immoderate she does, galore of america proceed to beryllium baffled by the obsession with her alternatively bland life.

Molly laments astatine 1 point: “It inactive shocks maine however invested radical are successful my life, I don’t truly recognize why.”

Same here. Sorry, snowflakes — but to me, Molly Mae is arsenic absorbing arsenic her favourite colour. Beige.
