Molly-Mae Hague is returning to social media after facing backlash for comments she made about privilege and background, but how many followers has she lost?

Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague has been at the centre of headlines this week – firstly for rumours boyfriend Tommy Fury had proposed in New York and secondly for comments she made on the Diary of a CEO podcast which went viral.

In the clip the Creative Director for PrettyLittleThing said ‘everyone has the same 24 hours in a day’ and ‘if you want something enough, you can achieve it’ – comments which were branded tone deaf when the video gained traction on Twitter.

Molly faced backlash for ignoring social and wealth inequality.
