Love Island’s most successful alumni has opened up about the real reason she decided to have her fillers removed a year after going au naturel.

Molly-Mae Hague has previously admitted she went “too far” with the non-invasive procedures and has now revealed it was her older sister Zoe behind her decision to have her filler dissolved.

Speaking on the Diary of a CEO podcast with host Steven Bartlett, Molly said, “I was at a PA and she text me and said ‘I need to talk to you about the filler, it’s too much now, you need to stop.’

“And I remember going on my front camera and I was like ‘What is she talking about?’ but then I realised ‘This isn’t nice.’ Everyone used to call me Quagmire [Family Guy], or I looked like an Xbox controller my face was that warped – all kinds of things.”

She added, “There was one pivotal moment I’d just got filler and I did a YouTube video, and I hadn’t let the filler sort of settle and it was really swollen and a screenshot from that video trended on Twitter for weeks.

“It was horrendous. My face was awful. That was a moment for me where I was like I think things need to change.”

And speaking about the pressure to have the treatment in the first place she said, “On social media I was seeing all these girls with filler and I thought if I want to be successful in this industry and have a large following, I need to do that to my face, I need jaw filler and lip filler and cheek filler and botox to look the way these girls do.

“And actually I realise now, it’s all just editing none of them look like that anyway!”

Earlier this summer Molly-Mae spoke to Cosmopolitan about the insecurity that led to her having filler in the first place, shortly after having it and composite bonds on her teeth removed.

“We need to stop normalising filler, with things like ‘Kylie Jenner [surgery] packages’. I was 17 when I first got my lips done, and it scares me to think that if I have a daughter in 10 years’ time, what it might be like for her.

"I sometimes forget how young my followers are, too. I’m often surprised by the fact some of the girls in my DMs even have a phone.”

After sharing her transformation with fans many took to Instagram to praise her for her honesty.

“I think her lips look amazing without filler, I imagine it feels nicer,” said one. “She's also kinda inspired me to leave my own lips alone and she's younger that me... it's nice of Molly to share this experience because it really will help people both younger and older than her.”

“I've always respected you as a person, and that has only increased after watching this video,” said another. “I love the positive message that you're putting out. You've always looked beautiful, but there just is something about that natural beauty :)”.

"I think she looks so much prettier now, her lips are no where near as small as she makes them out to be and she really doesn’t need the filler!!” a third added. “I’m so glad she’s doing her own thing now and not keeping the filler just so she looks like every other influencer out there!! X”.
