Love Island sensation and creative director of PrettyLittleThing, Molly-Mae Hague, has found herself at the centre of a social media storm after a lavish travel choice sparked fury amongst her followers.
The 24-year-old influencer took to her Instagram Stories to document her journey from Manchester to the capital, revealing she had opted for a private jet to attend a meeting that lasted just 20 minutes. The post, which showcased her luxurious travel mode, was met with immediate criticism from her audience.
Fans were quick to condemn the decision, labelling it 'out of touch' and a 'slap in the face' given the current climate crisis. One frustrated follower commented, 'Is this a joke? A private jet for a 20-minute meeting?', while another pleaded, 'Please think of the environment. This is so irresponsible.'
Molly-Mae, who shares daughter Bambi with boxer boyfriend Tommy Fury, has built a multi-million pound empire since her rise to fame on the ITV2 dating show. However, this isn't the first time her extravagant lifestyle has drawn criticism for being environmentally tone-deaf.
The incident highlights the growing scrutiny faced by celebrities and influencers regarding their carbon footprint, as followers increasingly demand more sustainable and responsible behaviour from public figures.
