Molly-Mae: Behind It All is a polished insight into Hague’s life – but it could’ve gone further

The ever-relatable but private influencer decides to give the audience some of the vulnerable insights they crave, before returning to her first priority: promoting the Molly-Mae brand. Interestingly, with Behind It All, Hague has clearly made the decision to give the people a little of what they want; she does discuss the split, which happened shortly prior to filming. For anyone wondering how much authority over this series the influencer had, I would suggest: total control. (At a press Q&A to promote the show this week she implied as much.) Whether it’s in the sit-down interviews or documentary-style footage, Hague presents in the series as extremely headstrong and professional, completely together. She’s calmly co-parenting from the off, directing photoshoots for Maebe, and keeping as busy as possible to distract herself. Even watching romantic footage of her and Fury on Love Island doesn’t make her flinch.

But any careful blankness she exhibits early on around the subject of her ex dissipates; increasingly, it seems likely that she is going through the classic shock and denial stages post-breakup. “I don’t think I’ve been honest with anyone because actually I’ve been holding onto the hope that as soulmates we will always come back together,” she says in one talking head interview. Later, she admits, “How it’s looking now is that maybe we’re just done.”.
The series confirms as much. Alcohol, as any fan will know, is a traumatic touchstone for Hague. We get more of that context here, as she cries talking about the time she begged Fury not to drink at her sister’s wedding. Her tears are powerful but the crux of their breakup is later incisively contained in a quiet moment of reflection: “That was a hard thing about being in a relationship in the public eye: really you only have control over yourself but actually there’s two of you. I couldn’t control what Tommy was doing or decisions he decided to make.” The half of the couple that has always elevated Molly-Mae the brand is Molly-Mae herself.
