Molly-Mae Hague throwback picture shows star before cosmetic work 'obsession'

Molly-Mae Hague pictured before Love Island fame shows the influencer as a fresh-faced teenager with very curly hair.

The snap is believed to have been taken before any cosmetic work had been done and without hair extensions.

In the image, Molly-Mae is smiling at the camera in a restaurant, photographed long before she became a reality TV and Instagram star with 6.5 million followers.

The 23-year-old has taken steps in recent years to revert back to her natural looks after becoming "obsessed" with fillers and other cosmetic procedures, the Mirror reported.

Molly-Mae has opened up about her relationship with cosmetic 'tweaks', after first getting her lips plumped up at the tender age of 18.

She found herself in a "vicious cycle" which led her to have a "full package" involving "God knows" injected into her face after returning home to the UK following her appearance on the ITV show in 2019.

The influencer talked about how she felt "horrendous" after getting cheek filler, jaw filler and lip filler in Los Angeles, with her "swollen face" prompting a string of nasty comments from trolls who compared her to an Xbox controller.

"It looked horrendous. Someone took a screenshot from that video and it went viral.

"'What's Molly done to her face?' was the response. I was mortified," the former reality TV star writes in an extract of her book obtained by the Sunday Times.

"The reality was that my once-sharp jawline had jowls hanging underneath, my lips felt lumpy, uneven and unnatural."

She has since ditched her long hair extensions and dissolved the fillers in her lips and face.

Molly Mae has also opened up about her skin condition, which returned last month.

The influencer shared a photo of her arm as she opened up about her pigmentation condition.

"I actually can't believe I've woken up this morning to my pigmentation having come back," Molly-Mae penned on a trip to Spain.

"It took me a whole year to get rid of this last time. I didn't get my arms out because I was so self-conscious.

"I actually can't believe it's come back. No idea what could have caused it."

Molly then added: "I think the actual term for this is tinea versicolor."

The condition, which is also known as pityriasis versicolor, is a common fungal skin infection that can cause patches of skin to change colour.
