Molly-Mae Hague shows off stretch marks in bikini despite crippling body image issues

Molly-Mae Hague cast aside her crippling body confidence issues to show off her stretch marks whilst wearing a blue bikini on Tuesday afternoon.

The reality TV star, 24, is currently on holiday in Athens, Greece with her boxer boyfriend Tommy Fury and baby daughter Bambi, but she has been keeping her 7.5 million Instagram followers updated on social media.

Molly-Mae has regularly opened up about her body images issues via her YouTube channel since the arrival of Bambi in January.

As recently as June 12, the former PrettyLittleThing creative director said she doubted she would ever wear a bikini again.

But it appears that the mum-of-one has had an uplift of confidence since those remarks, which came during a holiday in Barbados, as she donned a blue bikini in photos on Tuesday.

She took to her Instagram Stories with photos of her posing in the bikini top and white trousers before sharing another snap of her getting ready to soak up the Greek sun.

Molly-Mae was not afraid to show off her fun side as she took a selfie while wearing swimming goggles and posing with the peace sign.

The former Love Island favourite then posted a lengthy message after appearing to get overwhelmed with replies from fans in her inbox about her slipping into a bikini for the first time.

She snapped a close up of the stretch marks on her hip, while also sharing a message from a follower, which read: "You made it into a bikini. Total inspo for a mam with a new baby!"

Molly-Mae wrote: "My DMs are making me [crying emojis]. I spoke on my YouTube about how I don't think I'll ever want to reach for a bikini on holiday again/feel confident in one... I didn't even bring any with me on this trip!

"But today I went to the shop here and bought one because I realised WHO ACTUALLY CARES!

"The thought of putting on a bikini before the holiday is always much more daunting than doing it in the moment and whilst on the trip... pack the bikinis mamas.

"And my girls who don't normally, I promise you that no one's judging/cares."

Molly-Mae posted a video on her Stories of her diving into the "icey cold" sea before sharing a sweet photo of Tommy holding Bambi, with both wearing crochet tops before wrapping up her reel with a stunning clip of their views.
