STRUTTING into the Love Island villa aged 20, with her blonde hair extensions and filler-enhanced pout, Molly-Mae Hague became an instant Gen Z sweetheart. She wasn’t particularly entertaining but was hot so boys wanted to date her — and she was nice so girls wanted to befriend her.

Upon exiting the ITV2 reality series with hunky boxer boyfriend Tommy Fury in tow, the influencer from Hertfordshire was soon a social media sensation. But five years on, as I tuned into her highly anticipated Amazon Prime “docuseries”, a.k.a. reality show, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, I struggled to see what all the fuss was about.

Banal, precious and, to be honest, dull, are the first adjectives that spring to mind as the fake-tan entrepreneur with eight million Instagram followers welcomes cameras into her world for the first time — aside from her popular, but equally mundane, vlogs.

They say youth is wasted on the young, but so is money apparently, as Molly gives us a wardrobe tour of her baggy jeans, tonal suit jackets and prized PJ draw. Snooze, indeed. Scenes with her toddler Bambi are adorable but insights into her relationship breakdown with Tommy — he drank too much at her sister’s wedding — feel heavily edited and stage-managed.

We see behind-the-scenes footage of her fashion brand Maebe, which sold out 24 minutes after it launched last September. Unlike her previous fashion venture, where she teamed up with fast-fashion brand PLT, Maebe flogs jeans for nearly £100, hardly affordable for her teen fans.
