Molly-Mae Hague reveals she ‘doesn’t have the confidence to wear a bikini anymore’ after being praised for ‘real body’
MOLLY-Mae Hague revealed she "doesn't feel confident enough" to wear a bikini anymore after having daughter Bambi.
The new mum - who welcomed her her baby girl in January with boyfriend Tommy Fury - said she is "finding it hard to accept" her post-baby body.
Molly said: "I genuinely feel like with time, my confidence with my body is actually getting worse."
The influencer, 24, shared her body woes with her fans on her latest YouTube video, while attending her manager Fran Britton's wedding in Barbados.
Sharing a clip of her sunbathing in a white strapless bathing suit, Molly told fans: "At the minute I've got swollen fingers - my rings don't fit me anymore it's kind of awkward, they cut off my circulation when I put them on.
"I've got this swimming costume on...for me at the minute swim suits are the one, I'm not a bikini girl at the minute because I don't have the confidence.

"I didn't have the confidence for bikinis before I had a baby."
The ex-Love Island star went onto say that she is at the start of a long journey to loving her body again.
Molly continued: "Right now with my body I need anything that is going to give me confidence because I genuinely feel like with time, my confidence with my body is actually getting worse.
"I really felt on this trip that I am going to embrace it, I don't care, my new mum body, I'm proud of it but at the same time I'm finding it hard to accept that I've got a real journey to start if I want to feel more confident in my body."
She added: "I was speaking about it to my family - I just don't ever picture myself putting on a bikini, I never did in the first place.
"Before I had a baby I didn't feel confident in a bikini, so after having a baby I don't picture myself ever thinking 'I'll slip a bikini on and feel amazing'.
"I want to and want to come on here and say I feel confident and amazing but that's not how I'm feeling at the minute.
"So any clothes or outfits that can make me feel a little more confident, covered up and super flattering right now, that is what I'm going for right now."
Although Molly may not be feeling at her most confident, many fans have praised her for showing off her "real body".
The media personality wore a strappy white bikini top and a pair of loose fitting beach trousers during her recent trip to Dubai.
Molly's fans were quick to compliment her for proudly embracing her mum body, just three months after giving birth.
One wrote: "I am here for the unedited photo, you are beautiful."
