Reality TV star Molly-Mae Hague has admitted to feeling so famous she has to hire a team to stop paparazzi taking pictures of her on holiday.
The Love Island finalist, who came second on the show in 2019 with boxer boyfriend Tommy Fury, spoke out about how it felt to have images of her shared online a couple of years ago.
Speaking on The Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett, Molly-Mae said: "We're always on pap watch and if we go away on a campaign we literally have someone that has a job to specially to look out for people taking pictures so it doesn't happen again because it was quite bad."
The influencer and creative director of Pretty Little Thing said it was a “low moment” for her, and admitted she “didn’t even realise” she had been followed or that pictures were being taken.

"They were posing as like architectural photographers in front of this building and I did think at one point 'Is that guy taking pictures of me?'
"It was just horrendous, people calling me fat, overweight, and I'm a size eight, so it made me so upset to think that if people are calling me overweight... a very normal size 10 girl, what are they going to be thinking if I'm being called fat?

"It's heartbreaking. The whole trolling thing I have kind of dealt with it now, I'm really good at dealing with it.
"I sort of have this approach of if it doesn't matter, people can say what they want to say, they are genuinely so unhappy in their lives that they try and bring you down. It's so sad, but you do learn to do deal with it."
Earlier this week, Molly-Mae was forced to apologise after she was criticised for telling the podcast “you’re given one life and it’s down to you what you do with it”
