Molly Mae Hague marks record Instagram following with stunning bikini snap

Molly Mae Hague posted a stunning bikini snap to Instagram this evening as she proudly revealed she'd hit a whopping four million followers on the site.

The former Love Island contestant had been laughed at for describing herself as an 'influencer' when she made her debut on the show in a hot tub with Tommy Fury.

But nine months later the savvy star is having the last laugh as she continues to grow her fanbase to hold the record as the most followed islander in the ITV show's history.

Molly, 20, marked the achievement by posting a pic of her in happier times as she sizzled on a bikini shoot in a far flung destination.

"Thank you for 4MILLION," she wrote as the caption.

Molly has now surpassed other popular stars to come from the dating series, including Dani Dyer, Chris Hughes, Maura Higgins and Megan Barton Hanson.

She had been the first contestant to break the two million barrier on Instagram while still in the villa - despite dividing viewers with her antics.

Molly had been nicknamed 'Money Mae' by some viewers who accused her of hatching a plan to cling on to Tyson Fury's brother Tommy and win the show.

But despite finishing runners up, the pair are still going strong eight months later - the only couple from 2019 still together - and are currently in lockdown together in their Manchester love nest.

Last week Molly was celebrating again after winning the PrettyLittleThing Influencer Award at a virtual ceremony.

Due to the pandemic, Molly was forced to give her acceptance speech online.

She said: "I literally cannot believe that you guys have voted for me to be PLT's fashion influencer of the year. I am in shock still about this. I cannot believe it.

"Thank you so so so much to everyone who voted for me. This means the world to me.

"Like I studied fashion for three years at collage so it is my passion and obsession in my life.|

She went on: "So again thank you so much to everyone who voted and thank you to PLT for believing in me from the start back when i had 10K and you gifted me a trip to Ibiza I'll never forget it. Since then this relationship has grown and grown and working with you is a dream so thank you so much.'
