Molly-Mae reveals Love Island chats that were NEVER shown on camera and how sister got a secret message to her in villa
LOVE Island star Molly-Mae Hague has revealed her sister managed to give her a secret, and very important message, during her time in the villa.
The 23-year-old, who appeared on the show in 2019 and came in second place with Tommy Fury, has lifted the lid on her experience in her new book – admitting not everything was shown on camera.
One such moment was when her sister Zoe secretly revealed she had amassed a staggering amount of followers – leaving her gobsmacked.
Writing in Becoming Molly-Mae, she revealed her family signed her up with her manager while she was still in the villa – and she discovered what had happened as new bombshells arrived and let slip the news.
It was a real shock to Molly and she begged producers to let her know what was going on – but they refused.
She wrote: “My sister, Zoe, had been managing my socials while I was in the villa. Because she knew me so well, she knew what I'd want to be put on Instagram, so she was in charge.

"But the hate got so bad when I was in there – the trolling really was on another level - that a friend of mine recommended Fran, who now is my manager. She and her team really helped Zoe.
“They worked closely together, and my family fell in love with Fran. Of course, I didn't know any of this.
"Meanwhile, new bombshells were coming into the villa saying, Oh, you're managed by Fran, of The Social PR?' (They'`d seen Fran's email in my bio on my socials.) I didn't know who that was, so I was freaking out to the producers, You need to tell me now what's going on with my Instagram because this is my job. My family are meddling with my job!”

Molly recalled: “Quietly. She drew the shape of a 2.2 – for 2.2 million on her leg. I was stunned. Oh my god. I remember nodding. It’s good. But I did also get a sense of its good and it’s bad, it’s a lot.”
