From scrubbing public loos to making cups of tea – inside Molly-Mae Hague’s first and worst jobs before £6million fame
SHE might be worth £6million, but Molly-Mae’s career hasn’t always been as glamorous as it is today.
Although the Love Island star turned businesswoman, 25, is raking in the cash thanks to her influencer opportunities, it turns out she once started out scrubbing public toilets.
Not only this, but the Maebe founder, who recently got emotional as she spoke after her first festive season as a single mother, and has her new series hitting Prime Video this week, also made endless cups of tea while working at a hairdressers.
In a short clip shared online, the blonde beauty, who we will see on our screens on 17th for the first three episodes of Molly-Mae: Behind It All, opened up on her first and worst jobs.
The influencer, who recently found herself at the heart of BBL rumours and broke up with boxer Tommy Fury, the father of her daughter, back in August, shared: “Hi, I’m Molly-Mae and this is my first, worst, best and last.”
Whilst her first Maebe drop sold out in just 24 minutes, the content creator, who has 1.9million subscribers on YouTube, didn’t start off in retail like many.
In fact, she was washing strangers’ hair, as she confessed: “My first job was working in a hairdressers, making cups of tea and washing hair.”
And whilst the Filter founder lives in a huge £3.5million mansion and lives a pretty luxurious lifestyle, her life before Love Island in 2019, hasn’t always been so fabulous.
The mum-of-one, who previously admitted she ‘didn’t enjoy’ Bambi’s baby-days, worked at Hitchin Swimming Centre, in Hertfordshire, when she was 16.
She admitted: “My worst job was probably when I was a lifeguard and I had to clean public toilets and scrape other people’s hair out of drains.”
But the Filter founder now spends her days working on her fake tan brand and her new luxury fashion range, as she beamed: “I’d say my best job is the one that I have right now.”
Not only this, but the star, who not long ago broke down in tears and reflected on her recent ‘emotional rollercoaster’ then confirmed: “My last job was filming my documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind It All on Prime Video and it was an unbelievable experience.”

The TikTok clip, which was posted on the official @primevideouk account, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up 2.1 million views in just 22 hours.
Molly-Mae’s fans quickly flocked to the comments, eager to praise the star.

Molly-Mae's glow-down from ‘glamour model’ to ‘yummy mummy’
Celebrity PR Expert, Ed Hopkins told Fabulous: “I believe Molly-Mae Hague‘s new look is more than just a style change but a powerful statement of who she is becoming.
“It underscores her journey towards authenticity, maturity, and sophistication and is likely to enhance her success and influence in the years to come.”
Brand and Culture Expert Nick Ede agreed, and told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae has transformed herself into a yummy mummy who has ditched the glamour model style for a more relaxed and natural look.
“She’s becoming more down to earth and relatable to people and cleverly showing a softer side which will win her legions more fans in the process.”
According to Ed Hopkins, Molly-Mae’s chic new look could be “highly lucrative” for the star.
Ed told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae Hague’s transformation towards a more natural, chic look seems to be a testament to her personal growth and evolving style.
“This change, which has become more pronounced since she became a mother, appears to reflect her journey towards embracing authenticity and sophistication.
“It’s possible that this new image could be highly lucrative for Molly-Mae.
“Her chic, understated style might appeal to a wider audience, including more mature demographics and high-end brands, potentially opening up lucrative endorsement deals and partnerships.
“By adopting a more elegant look, she seems to align herself with premium and luxury brands that favour natural beauty and sophistication, which could lead to higher-paying collaborations.
“Additionally, with consumers increasingly valuing authenticity and natural beauty, her new image could be both timely and marketable.”
Nick Ede agreed and told Fabulous: “She has started to promote some really great luxury brands including the cosmetics brand Tatcha and with her laid back look she will make a lot of money from brands looking to align with her.”
Ed also noted that Molly-Mae’s transformation may be a sign that she is looking to step away from her reality show past.
He continued: “Molly-Mae’s transformation also seems to symbolise her desire even more so to well and truly step out of the shadow of her Love Island persona.
“The shift to a more mature and unique style appears to demonstrate her growth and her wish to be seen as an individual beyond her reality TV beginnings.
“By shedding the bold, flashy look associated with her time on Love Island, she might be rebranding herself as a serious businesswoman and influencer who is carving out her own identity.
“This new look helps her stand out in the crowded influencer market, showcasing her as a trendsetter with a distinctive, refined aesthetic.”
Nick agreed and claimed: “Shedding the flash looks she previously went for, she’s also detaching herself from the Love Island stereotype and stepping out as her own person with a cool look that’s not flashy but totally on trend.
“Gone are the ‘look at me’ posts and in are family style posts and trend led fashion statements.”
A TV insider said: “The timing of them getting back together couldn’t be more convenient, as it will see their romance come full circle with fans watching on through the documentary.
“There was already huge interest in the programme, even before the events of the past week. But now there’s likely to be even more people watching.
“The trailer seemed to suggest there will be lots of detail about the stress Molly went through during their high-profile break up, but there was no hint of them getting back together.
“Which means the creators of the documentary – which is still being filmed – were either taken by surprise by the reunion or have had to keep it top secret for some time.”
