ITV Love Island's Maura Higgins hinted at Molly-Mae Hague's baby name option years ago with telling gift

Maura Higgins and Molly-Mae Hague have been best friends since meeting in the Love Island villa - even despite the former setting her sights on Tommy Fury in her bombshell moment - and it appears Maura hinted at Molly-Mae's unique choice of baby name for her first daughter before the influencer even discovered she was pregnant.

Molly-Mae and her boyfriend Tommy, who met and fell in love on the ITV2 dating show in 2019, announced earlier this week that they had welcomed their first child into the world. They confirmed that their daughter had been born on Monday (January 30) just as she turned a week old after making her entrance into the world on January 23.

The pair have since announced that their little girl is called Bambi. Molly-Mae, 23, shared a photo of her newborn daughter lying in her cot in her stunning white nursery, and her name was written in lights above the newborn. "Bambi" she wrote alongside a white love heart for her precious bundle of joy with Manchester boxer Tommy.
