Molly-Mae Hague urged not to attempt to tame foxes as she feeds them at her £4m mansion

Molly-Mae Hague has been urged by experts not to attempt to tame foxes after she fed them at her £4 million mansion in Cheshire.

The Love Island star, 23,recently took to her Instagram Stories to share an adorable clip of a baby fox eating from a bowl she left out in her garden.

"Home ten minutes and look [crying face emoji]," she captioned the clip of the pup walking around curiously. "Obviously I put food out for them. Couldn't help myself."

She added in her next story: "Scruffy little boy. We've called him Cookie. People are gonna say that feeding them was a mistake but they're only babies and they're all skinny we couldn't not."

According to The Fox Project, 'helping out' the foxes while the weather is bad is 'the least we can do'.

Founder Trevor Williams told us: "The Fox Project does take the view that it is a bad thing to feed foxes, no more than it is to feed the birds.

"It's nice to see wildlife around and helping out in bad weather is the least we can do for anything. We take their territory all the time. The least we can do is give something back."

He went on to explain that a 'problem arises' when people try to 'tame them to hand'.

"It is not in the interests of any wildlife to trust us too implicitly because there might always be one bad apple that will take advantage of that trust to do the animal harm," he explained.

"Feed small amounts of food as a bonus and not massive meals as a lifestyle, and then you can enjoy the spectacle of wildlife in the garden without undermining its safety."

In one of Molly-Mae's posts, one of her adorable cats can be seen watching the fox from the safety of the living room.

The Pretty Little Thing Creative Director and her boyfriend Tommy Fury recently moved into their Cheshire mansion.

Earlier this year, Molly-Mae explained why she had decided to keep sharing footage and snaps of her home - despite being targeted by burglars last year in her old Manchester flat.

The former Islander and boxer Tommy were left "heartbroken" when thieves ransacked their rented apartment while they attended an event in London.

But now, the stars are focused on renovating and furnishing their lavish place and making it their own.
