“There were loads of things that I wish weren’t shown, or things that I wish were shown.”
Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague has claimed she was made to “do things she didn’t want to” by producers while she was in the villa.
The 20-year-old, who came in second alongside boyfriend Tommy Fury, said she wished she had stood up for herself a bit more during her time on Love Island.
The social media influencer added that she had been told to make sure Belle knew Anton had given his number to a cashier.
Molly-Mae claimed that, despite the fact that she’d promised Tommy she would keep it a secret, producers told her to tell Anna what happened.
She told Closer:
“There were loads of things that I wish weren’t shown, or things that I wish were shown.
“For example, there was one point where Tommy told me a little secret about Anton giving his phone number to a shop assistant and when he told me that one of the producers came up to me and said, ‘You need to tell Anna about that. You need to make sure you tell Anna that that happened’.
“But I was like, ‘But he just made me promise that I wouldn’t say’. She said, ‘Don’t worry, we won’t show that bit, it will be fine, just tell Anna’. I was like, ‘Ok, fine’.
“So I told Anna and I know I got a lot of backlash saying I was being unfaithful to Tommy but sometimes you have to do things in there that you don’t necessarily want to do but for the storyline it just makes it work.”
Molly-Mae continued:
“No disrespect to the producers but it was really hard. Some of the things that happened, it was like, ‘For god’s sake, that wasn’t me’.
“I wish a few times that I had stuck up for myself a little bit more and been like, ‘No, I am not going to do that because that’s not me’. It’s a TV show at the end of the day.”
