This Morning's Phil and Holly rush to defend Molly-Mae Hague's and Tommy Fury's new baby name Bambi amid criticism

Love Island 2019's runner-up couple Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury have made headlines recently after announcing the birth of their daughter. As joyous as this news is, there's one thing that has captured people's attention the most - her name.

Pretty Little Thing ambassador Molly-Mae and boxer Tommy revealed on social media on Tuesday (Jan 31) that they've decided to call their new bundle of joy Bambi, with a picture of her lying in a cot below hanging decorative clouds. Bambi is a name of Italian origin and is thought to derive from the word 'bambino', which means 'child'. It is also the title of a famous Disney film.

As sweet as many people find this name to be, there have been others less impressed with the couple's choice, with debates taking place across social media and TV. However it seems Molly-Mae has not let any negative comments phase her as she shared a video of herself holding her new born as she gushed: "I am obsessed with being your mum, Bambi."
