Molly-Mae Hague, who came in second place on ITV's Love Island in 2019, has announced she's quit her role as creative director at online fashion brand PrettyLittleThing (PLT). It shortly comes after the new mum welcomed her first child, Bambi, with partner and fellow Love Island star Tommy Fury earlier this year.
The 24-year-old has stepped down after almost two years - despite reportedly being paid around £400,000 a month to work for the fast fashion retailer - totalling a staggering £5million a year. She shared the news of her career move on her YouTube channel.
Speaking to her 1.8million subscribers, she said: "A lot of people have been asking me about PLT creative director, how's the role going, how's everything going with PLT, and everything is going incredibly with PLT… I will forever have the most insane relationship with PLT… they are literally my family."
She added: "I am still working with them and doing collections and edits, but I have actually decided to step down as my creative director role. Over the last few weeks, I have realised that I'm only going to get this time once with my first-born child.
"And I'm only going to get Bambi being four months old once and I feel like I've had to rearrange my life a little bit and lose some commitments that I did have. Myself and PLT have decided collectively that as much as the creative director role was incredible and I have literally loved being the creative director of PLT more than anything.
"It was such an amazing chapter for me it has naturally come to an end." She continued: "I am a mum now and I never really gave myself a maternity leave and I got straight back into work instantly because my work is my phone and showing my life is my work.
"The last thing I would want to be is in a role that I can't fulfil right this moment. There is no drama, there is absolutely no tea… nothing has gone on."
Speaking to the MailOnline, a source also said: "This isn't the end for PrettyLittleThing and Molly, she remains an ambassador, as does her sister and they will be looking at opportunities in the future."
Her representative released a statement, saying: "As Molly has said she loves PLT they are like family to her and is continuing to support and work with the brand as she mentioned in her YouTube."
