MOLLY-Mae Hague has revealed that she was left ‘traumatised’ after a modelling agent told her she “wasn’t the right shape” to become a professional model.
The Love Island star, 21, opened up in an Instagram Q&A video about her upsetting experience with a London modelling agency.
A fan asked for tips on getting into modelling, and Molly-Mae explained how an agent approached her as a young girl – only to tell her a day later that she’d “made a mistake”.
She told her five million Insta followers: “I have a funny story that happened to me when I was younger – it’s not funny at all actually, it still traumatises me to this day.
“Basically I was on a train and I got scouted – so embarrassing – this woman from this modelling agency, she scouted me and was like, ‘please can you come in tomorrow, we’ll have a meeting and we’ll potentially sign you’.
“So I was absolutely buzzing, like I always wanted to be a model when I was younger, definitely not anymore. Yeah, so I went into London, cancelled work for a day, went to the meeting with this woman.
“She got me to stand in front of her and some other people and do like a little twirl in all black clothing, no make up.
“She literally took one look at me and went, ‘yeah, no, sorry, made a mistake, you’re not the right shape to be a model’.
“And I literally was traumatised trying to be all polite, whereas if it happened now it would be a different story.
“But I was like, ‘can you give me constructive criticism, like what’s not, what wasn’t right about me?’ and she was like, ‘you just looked different on the train, your legs looked different’.
“Honestly, it was awful… it was so, so, so bad.”
Molly-Mae also confessed it was an experience that she still thought about today, adding that the modelling industry was “cutthroat”.
In July, the stunning reality star also hit back at online trolls who called her “lardy”, “out of shape” and told her to “go on a diet”, among other jibes.
Sensational bikini pics of Molly-Mae were making headlines at the time – as she and Love Island boyfriend Tommy Fury enjoyed a luxury break in Ibiza.
Though she didn’t take the trolling lying down, writing in a sharply-worded tweet: “I would genuinely love to know who writes these comments?
“Like how can you actually write s*** like that and sleep at night? Beyond me.”
