Molly-Mae says she’s ‘out of her depth’ as she struggles being a single mum after Tommy Fury split
MOLLY-MAE Hague admitted she's had her "confidence knocked as a mum" after taking baby Bambi on a solo girls trip to Dubai.
The mum of one - whose split with ex fiance Tommy Fury, 25, sparked shock among fans earlier this year - admitted she was "out of my depth" on the getaway to the UAE.
Although Molly-Mae, 25, was accompanied by her assistant and friend Erin - who she dubbed her "rock" - the ever-candid star said she felt she "needed physical and emotional support" of a partner.
In October, Molly-Mae was seen stripping to a bikini as she holidayed with the tot.
The pair arrived on a Business Class flight and, with the destination a special one for the Love Island star and her ex, all was set to be well.
Yet her smiles for Instagram masked a hidden struggle, which the frank star opened up about during her latest YouTube video.

The Maebe fashion brand owner is known for being frank with her online following.
And her latest clip was no different as she told subscribers of the trip: "To be honest with you, it utterly knocked my confidence as a mum because I felt like, over the last few months, I've been getting into a really really good place with motherhood, feeling so confident and feeling really on top of my game, feeling like I've got Bambi sussed.
"I know her, I mean I've always known her through and through but, I can do it, I don't need support, I've got this under control.
"Anyway, Dubai, different story. I was so out of my depth, literally the whole plane journey on the way there I was nearly in tears."
She added: "In Dubai, I really felt like a single parent.
"I've massively noticed the missing piece of the puzzle, like that, of your partner, and that emotional support and the physical support also of a father."
There were health struggles for the tot, who turns two in January.
It came after Molly noted the youngster's "clingy" behaviour and admitted she went "to hell and back" in the early stages of her life.
The businesswoman explained how, during her latest trip, the tot didn't want to wear her shoes or go in her pram.
The concerned mum also told how she was "quite poorly" with a "bad chest" and "snotty nose."
Timeline of Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury's split
After five years together, Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury split up in August 2024.
At around 4pm on Wednesday, August 14, Molly-Mae and Tommy suffer an explosive showdown and Molly-Mae announces her split from fiancé Tommy Fury, saying ' I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way'.
An hour later Tommy shares a separate and brief statement confirming they have parted ways, and thanks Molly-Mae for making him 'a dad'.
The real reason they split emerges and on Thursday, August 15 The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae learned Tommy had cheated on her - leading to an explosive showdown.
On Saturday, August 17, The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae had been sent an upsetting video showing Tommy kissing a girl in a nightclub in North Macedonia on a lads holiday.
Exactly one week after the split a Danish woman accused of getting close to Tommy speaks to The Sun. On Wednesday, August 21, she denies she is the girl who kissed Tommy.
Molly-Mae told how her daughter is a "homebird" like her and would have been happier in her normal routine.
The star, dressed in a white top, spoke direct to camera as she added: "I had every right to feel anxious and I probably should have been feeling even more anxious to the point where I probably should have cancelled the trip because it was not good, it wasn't good.
"I'd say she cried for 95 per cent of the trip, to the point where we came home early because I was like what is the point in being here, like she's so unhappy."
Keeping things real in summary, Molly-Mae added: "Dubai just really threw me and her off massively and thank God I had Erin there as she was my rock for those few days.
"It's knocked my confidence so much with taking Bambi abroad ever again. It kind of made me feel quite emotional just to feel like I actually, really in motherhood, needed definitely physical and emotional support."
