Molly-Mae Hague has confessed she almost turned down the chance to appear on Love Island after learning she wouldn’t be part of the original cast on day one.

She added that the producers tried to persuade her to do so, telling her she would be the first bombshell to enter the villa, but she remained unsure.
“Things were going well for me commercially: my Instagram was growing quickly and organically. I knew I could be on the show and potentially damage it,” Hague said.
