New mum Molly-Mae Hague was overcome with emotion as she introduced her followers to her newborn baby daughter on her YouTube channel. In her first video since welcoming baby Bambi on Monday January, 23 the former Love Island star shared her birth story and her shock at the "nasty" reaction to her daughter's name.
Molly-Mae, 23, a creative director for fashion brand PrettyLittleThing, burst into tears as she gazed down at her tiny bundle of joy, her first child with Manchester boxer Tommy Fury, and said: "I literally just said 'welcome back to my channel.'" And she asked her daughter jokingly: "What have you done to me? This is me crying all time, so emotional."
Speaking about how it feels to be a first-time mum, she described: "I would literally take a bullet for her her and your whole world is about them. You feel you don't matter anymore."

And on announcing her unique name, Molly-Mae said it turned out to be a "hard day." She said: "I switched Instagram comments off. I was brought back down to earth very quickly of how nasty this world can be.
She explained: "Because we'd literally known that our first baby girl was going to be called Bambi, we had gotten so used to the idea that that was going to be her name and to us it wasn't really that unusual anymore.
"And I know it's unusual and unique and not going to be to everyone's taste, but when we announced it, in my mind it was just beautiful, it's her, she's Bambi and that's a beautiful name, amazing, amazing... and then just two seconds after posting it I was like, 'Oh my God!'"
The reality star, who met and fell in love with Tommy on the ITV2 dating series Love Island in 2019, said there was unexpected drama when she went to hospital in London for a routine check-up at 37 and a half weeks of pregnancy and was told her baby was already on the way. Molly-Mae had been experiencing pain and felt "very heavy down there and achy."
She was told that her cervix was already one centimetre dilated and she returned to hospital a few days later to be induced. "We needed to have understanding of when she would be making her arrival," explained Molly-Mae, whose partner is training for his fight with Jake Paul on Sunday, February 26.
Tommy was by her side throughout the birth. "He watched me giving full birth and he loved it," she beamed. And Tommy joined his girlfriend on camera to marvel: "I've seen everything. It was like a science class in real life. It was best thing I've seen in my life.
