Molly-Mae Hague forced to back down from claims she's taking PLT to London Fashion Week

Molly-Mae Hague has been forced to backtrack on claims she is taking PrettyLittleThing to London Fashion Week for the first time.

The 22-year-old influencer, who is Creative Director of the company, revealed earlier this month she was taking the fast-fashion brand to the annual event, which starts next month.

However in her now-edited post, Molly clarified that while PLT will be holding an event, it will not be part of the official LFW schedule.

The post was updated to align communications with the British Fashion Council.

She initially shared on Instagram : "I've been working with the PLT team on something HUGE, our biggest project yet.

"Get ready London Fashion Week… we're coming @prettylittlething !!!"

But the former Love Island star has since updated her caption to read: "I've been working with the PLT team on something HUGE, our biggest project yet. Get ready for my first catwalk show in LONDON! @prettylittlething !!! ad."

A spokesperson for the brand told The Mirror how Molly-Mae will attend LFW to showcase a collection she has designed for PLT, and that she will be present at the show alongside the rest of the team.

They said: "Molly is showcasing a collection she has designed for PLT on Wednesday 16th February in London.

"This is a full runway show she has produced alongside the PLT team.

"She will be present at the show as will the team."

Molly was recently trolled about the "hard work" she's been doing to launch a PrettyLittleThing event during Fashion Week.

The reality star has been subject to controversy in recent weeks after she insisted that she "worked her a**e off" to gain her seven figure role while remaining silent on the issue of employee welfare in the supply chains of the fast fashion brand.

As she announced the exciting news for the brand, fans rushed to ask if the project would have anything to do to offering "a fair wage" to employees.

"Fair wages???" another asked.

"Working on a pay rise for the factory workers?" another wrote.

While another fan defended her saying: "Wages is not her department ask the CEO, she earns her money by bringing in thousands of orders a week to them."

Last year Molly bagged one of the biggest roles of her career when she was named Creative Director of the brand.

She had already been raking in millions thanks to her lucrative fake tan brand, Filter by Molly-Mae, as well as her collaborations with Beauty Works, Instagram brand deals and adverts, and of course, her immensely successful YouTube channel.

The Mirror has contacted Molly-Mae's representative for a comment.
