MOLLY-Mae Hague might be a millionaire – but there’s one thing she’s not rich in – friends.
The former Love Island runner-up and creative director at fashion brand Pretty Little Thing has revealed that she’d rather be out making cash than wasting time on expanding her social circle.
“My circle is minuscule,” she told the Diary Of A CEO podcast.
“I have literally about five people in my circle, and that includes friends.”
The 22-year-old – who is close friends with her fellow Love Island star Maura Higgins – admitted her circle is “absolutely tiny” but that she “likes it that way”.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way,” she said.
“I work, I spend time with my boyfriend and I go to bed.
“That is literally my life. I’m not bothered about a social life. It’s never been something I’ve been interested in.”
The health conscious star says she doesn’t really drink alcohol and isn’t a fan of parties or going out out.
“It’s not for me. I’d rather just focus on making money, being successful and being happy,” she said.
“Friends, they come and go and I find it a bit of a waste of time.”
Molly-Mae admits making new friends is “time-consuming” and that she “lost a lot of friends” since appearing on Love Island in 2019.
“It sounds savage but sometimes friends, they just – not cling on, but they don’t add much,” she said.
“I know that sounds a bit savage, but… I’m not that girl from Hitching any more. I’m not that young girl who was a lifeguard at Hitching swimming pool.
“That’s not me. I’m living in a different world now and a lot of my friends can’t relate to that.”
Molly-Mae admits: “I’m a bit of a loner but I like it.”
Molly recently took a break from Instagram amid a tough month which saw the flat she shares with boyfriend Tommy Fury broken into and £800K of items stolen, before the boxer was forced out of his latest fight through injury.
The influencer has never shied away from sharing her feelings with fans and this week broke down while talking about Tommy on her YouTube channel.
Molly was seen telling her fans that Tommy, also 22, is “hurting so much” after being forced to cancel his fight against Jake Paul over a medical condition.
Molly said: “I don’t like coming on my YouTube channel and reeling off my problems and making you guys, after this video, be like ‘that was such a miserable video’.
“But at the same time I would never come on here and paint a pretty picture and be like, ‘things are so great and my life is so perfect’, when it is far from right now.
“I know you guys probably want me to come on here and be more specific and talk about the fight and what’s been going on, but it’s not my situation to talk about, it’s Tommy’s thing.
“I’m just here to be his rock and to support him through thick and thin. When you love someone so deeply and they’re hurting so badly and going through something so rubbish you can’t help but feel it yourself.”
Earlier this month Tommy was forced to axe his fight with Jake after suffering a fractured rib and chest infection.
He said: “I took a little clip to the body and because my body was so weak due to the virus inside of me… I instantly knew something wasn’t right.
“I was throwing up from the pain, I was doubled over, I literally got my bag and went straight to the hospital, straight for an MRI scan, and I got the results back the same day and the results uncovered that I had a clean break in my rib and I had multiple fractures.”
Molly and Tommy suffered another blow this week when new Covid restrictions meant she was forced to cancel their upcoming holiday to Dubai – her Christmas present to him.
She said: “We did have a holiday booked the first week on January to go to Dubai for two weeks, to our favourite hotel, and we’ve obviously had to cancel that.
“That was my Christmas present to Tommy so now I’m without a holiday and also stuck without a present for Tommy.”
