Molly-Mae Hague pens autobiography on success story after controversial poverty comments

Molly-Mae Hague has announced she's penned her autobiography, at the tender age of 22.

The social media superstar, who first shot to fame on Love Island in 2019, has promised fans that her first book, named Becoming, will detail some of the most personal and private matters of her life.

The 22-year-old star took to Instagram on Thursday to unveil her announcement after she teased 'the biggest moment in her career' all week long.

Priced at £20, 'Becoming Molly-Mae: My Story', the autobiography will detail Molly-Mae's rapid rise to stardom and how she became the biggest success story to emerge from Love Island.

The excited star shared the good news on her Instagram stories when she revealed: "I have been keeping a huge project, a little secret, from you guys for well over a year now - and today is finally the day that I can finally speak about what it is.

"I can't believe I am about to show this to you guys...so I have written my very own book. This is Becoming Molly-Mae, my first ever book.

"And it is literally, this is my baby, we have honestly put so many months of work into this book you have no idea and it's been such a journey and such an adventure, venturing into this whole new world of writing a book, it is something that I have always, always wanted to do.'

"It has been a massive dream of mine. You guys obviously know that I am a massive over sharer but in this book I share oversharing to a whole new extreme."

Molly-Mae went on: "I have spoken about things in this book that I have have only told close family members and friends. You really do get the full BTS the whole behind the scenes up until this very point.

"So my whole journey. It is just very special to me and I could just burst with the fact that I am now able to talk to you guys about it and it is now available to pre-order."

Becoming Molly-Mae is published by Penguin Books and charts 'the moments, relationships and life lessons' that Molly-Mae has dealt with.

Molly-Mae's book announcement comes just weeks after the YouTube star was blasted after sharing her 'tone-deaf' opinion on success.

During the chat, the reality TV star and social media influencer claimed that everyone is capable of building success if they follow in her footsteps by working hard.

She riled many by not acknowledging the privilege she has had when she told host Steven Bartlett her views on The Diary of a CEO podcast.

“You’re given one life and it’s down to you what you do with it. You can literally go in any direction," she said.

"When I’ve spoken about that in the past I have been slammed a little bit, with people saying ‘it’s easy for you to say that because you’ve not grown up in poverty, so for you to sit there and say we all have the same 24 hours in a day is not correct.’

"But, technically, what I’m saying is correct. We do.”

She then went on: “I’ve worked my absolute a**e off to get where I am now.”

The comments led to her losing thousands of followers due to many ex fans accusing her of never doing a hard day's work in her life.

Molly-Mae has since moved on from the controversy.
