They met and fell in love under the sun on Love Island, and it can now claim to be the UK’s most successful dating show after Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury welcomed their baby daughter. On Monday Molly-Mae announced that she had given birth to their bundle of joy on Monday, January 23.
"One week old today. I can't believe we get to keep you forever. Becoming your mum has been the best thing to ever happen to me," she wrote with snaps of herself and her partner snuggling their baby girl at home on her Instagram. "It doesn't seem possible but my love for you grows with each passing moment," she added.
Yesterday (Tuesday January 31) Molly-Mae revealed that they had named their daughter Bambi, and their little one became the ninth baby born to couples paired on the show, reports the Mirror. From the Paddy McGuinness show Take Me Out, which ran from 2010 to 2019, eight couples wed in total from the series, and three babies were born to three couples.
