Molly-Mae Hague has delighted her fans by sharing a new photo of herself alongside her baby daughter, Bambi, while celebrating a life milestone.
The 24-year-old influencer and retired Pretty Little Thing Creative Director became a first time mum at the beginning of the year when she welcomed baby Bambi with her fiancé, fellow Love Island star Tommy Fury. The couple welcomed their bundle of joy in the depths of winter in January - before 24-year-old Tommy got down on one knee in Ibiza in July to pop the question to a gobsmacked Molly-Mae.
Now that winter is descending on the Northern hemisphere once again, Molly-Mae has found herself in disbelief over how fast time is passing and how quickly her daughter is growing. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the reality star shared a photograph of herself posing alongside Bambi to make nine months since her arrival.
While she also shared a throwback snap of herself back when she was heavily pregnant with Bambi. Sharing the snaps online, Molly-Mae wrote the caption: “9months out VS 9months in… I can’t quite believe she lived inside my belly at one point.”

Fellow Love Island star Marua Higgins was among the first to acknowledge Molly-Mae's post - and left a supportive message.

The 32-year-old Irish bombshell wrote: "LOVE!!!! How has it been 9 months already?" alongside a string of heart emojis. While fellow islander Rosie Williams wrote: "Love these" alongside white heart emojis.
While Molly-Mae’s latest post provoked an avalanche of supportive messages, this hasn’t always been the case over the course of the past nine months. The reality star has frequently been forced to defend herself from cruel and abusive online messages - while also hitting back at mum-shaming trolls.
Hitting back at those who criticised her for making video posts while they thought she should be caring for her daughter, she said: "I'll be honest, guys, I've been filming a lot in the evenings recently because that's when Bambi goes to bed.
"I also film in the daytime when I have help with her, when I have childcare. No matter what that childcare is, whether it's nursery, whether it's at home, I choose to film when in my working hours, when I'm working, when I have helped with Bambi… t might be like it might be sometimes but I'll be honest, I will normally be vlogging with you guys and I will normally be picking up my camera when I have time by myself because that's when it feels most natural."
