When she's shown the snap, Molly laughs "No! No" before pushing her phone away.
She later adds: "If filler had been a permanent thing, and I wasn't able to, like, reverse what I'd done. I could have genuinely, completely destroyed my face."

"I literally looked like a different person. When I look back at pictures now, I’m terrified of myself. I’m like, ‘Who was that girl?’ I don’t know what happened.
"But there was this one pivotal moment where I’d gone and got loads of filler and I posted a YouTube video and I hadn’t let the filler settle and it was really swollen and a screenshot from that video, it trended on Twitter for weeks.
"It was horrendous. It was utterly horrendous. My face was literally like, it was just awful. That was the moment for me as well where I was like, I think things need to change."
