She was propelled to fame when appearing on last year’s Love Island and has since continued as a social media ‘influencer’ boasting nearly 4 million Instagram followers.
And Molly-Mae Hague, 20, won not one but two awards on Sunday nights virtual PrettyLittleThing Influencer Award ceremony amid the coronavirus lockdown.

American actor Terrence J, 37, hosted the awards live on PrettyLittleThing’s Instagram from his own living room, dishing out gongs to celebrate those in the celebrity and influencer industry.
Due to the pandemic, Molly and the other winners were forced to record their acceptance speeches via video link after the glitzy ceremony was cancelled amid government guidelines.
Either way, she still looked gorgeous in her acceptance video wearing her platinum locks swept to one side with a nude zip up body suit on.

The blonde bombshell, who is currently in isolation with her boxer boyfriend Tommy Fury, 20, began her speech: ‘I literally cannot believe that you guys have voted for me to be PLT’s fashion influencer of the year. I am in shock still about this. I cannot believe it.’
She continued: ‘Thank you so so so much to everyone who voted for me. This means the world to me.
‘Like I studied fashion for three years at collage so it is my passion and obsession in my life. I also want to say a huge thank you to Sophia my stylist at PLT.

‘You are the best and this is dedicated to you because I think you are the reason I won this. And to every person who voted for me, I love you and thank you so much.’
Molly then gave her acceptance speech for the coveted ‘Influencer Of The year Award’ which she described as being ‘over the moon’ about winning.
She shared: ‘I am honestly in shock that I was nominated as one of PLT’s influencer of the year, the girls in this category for this award, I never thought in a million years this would come through my door.

Following her reality TV stint on Love Island, Molly secured a £500,00 deal with the clothing brand.
Despite not winning the show, Molly appears to have matched the record-breaking fee earned by former Love Island winner Dani Dyer, who reportedly signed a half-a-million pound deal with In The Style following her triumphant stint in 2018.
Molly-Mae has joined the growing host of PrettyLittleThing ambassadors, which also includes the likes of Ashley Graham and Malika Haqq and Kourtney Kardashian.
Last December she appeared on the PLT Podcast where she discussed life before the villa and admitted: ‘As an influencer you have to give off this persona of having a great life… before I went on the show, I didn’t have money at all.
‘I think it’s really important people know that what you see on Instagram isn’t a true reflection of what’s going on in that person’s life.’
She added: ‘This time last year, I was living by myself in a flat in Manchester, I had literally no one around me, I was really just trying to create this social media career for myself.’

Talking about her relationship with Tommy (Fury), who she met on Love Island over the summer, she gushed that she wants to marry the boxer.
She said: ‘We’re just so happy right now doing our thing. I’ve found the person I’m going to marry!’
Other winners on Sunday night’s awards included Jesy Nelson, Caitlyn Jenner, Paris Hilton and Amber Gill.
