In it, the star said: "A lot of people have been asking me about PLT creative director. 'How's the role going? How's everything going with PLT?'

"I am still working with them and doing collections and edits, but I have actually decided to step down as my creative director role."
She went on: "I know this is quite a big thing to just mention.

"Over the last few weeks, I have realised that I'm only going to get this time once with my first-born child.
"I'm only going to get Bambi being four months old once and I feel like I've had to rearrange my life a little bit and lose some commitments that I did have.
"Myself and PLT have decided collectively that as much as the creative director role was incredible and I have literally loved being the creative director of PLT more than anything - it was such an amazing chapter for me - it has naturally come to an end.
"I am a mum now. I never really gave myself a maternity leave and I got straight back into work instantly because my work is my phone and showing my life is my work.
"There were just certain areas of my life where I had to re-evaluate. The last thing I would want to be is in a role that I can't fulfil right now at this moment in my life.
Molly-Mae added: "There is no drama, there is absolutely no tea, there is nothing that has gone on.
"It was the most incredible pinch-me moment. I will never ever not be grateful to that business for what they have done to my career."
