Molly-Mae Hague speaks out on daughter Bambi's attachment issues amid split - 'It's scary'
Molly-Mae Hague has candidly opened up about her parenting struggles as she admitted her 21-month-old daughter Bambi has developed attachment issues over recent months. The influencer, 24, shares Bambi with ex-fiancé Tommy Fury, whom she split from in August after five years together.
And admitting she has been grappling with Bambi's new clingy attitude towards herself and Tommy since the split, Molly-Mae said in a new vlog that she worried for an upcoming holiday with the tot. "Bambi is in her clingy era at the moment where it's mummy, daddy or no one. I feel interested in how it's going to go on holiday to Dubai with her. I feel like when I take her out of her safe environment and her usual surroundings, she doesn't really enjoy herself."
Recalling a recent incident where she couldn't shower without Bambi getting upset, Molly-Mae continued: "I took her to mum's the other weekend for a weekend at my mum's, quite frankly it was a complete and utter disaster.

"She literally cried for three days straight and was being clingy to the point of I couldn't actually get in the shower without getting in with her. My mum had to hold her outside of the shower so that she could see me through the glass. But it wasn't close enough for her, she was like, 'No, I need to be IN the shower with mum'. So we had to put her in the shower with me.
"I couldn't even have a... Like, all the toilet trips she was sat on my lap. If I went out of her eyesight, screaming and crying. I'm like, woah, this is a whole new thing. I don't really know how to combat this." In the vlog, Bambi was seen sitting on her mum's knee as Molly-Mae detailed the issue.
Molly-Mae has been co-parenting Bambi with her ex Tommy, who has been seen taking the little one out for ice cream and walks to the park. The former couple, who met on Love Island in 2019, shocked fans with their split announcement - which came a year after getting engaged.
Tommy has since insisted that he will "100 per cent" attempt to win Molly-Mae back, saying in an interview on This Morning: "I know what I have to do in order to resolve things. And that’s down to me. Nobody else can do that other than me.”
He was also subject to a wave of cheating allegations when news of their split broke, which he flatly denied when pressed over the allegations by host Ben Shephard, he replied: "Like I said I'm going to leave that for me and Molly to work through.
"At the end of the day a lot of that stuff has been put out there. The whole world has seen what we've been going through for the past month or two months, however long it has been."
Ben added of Tommy's recent autobiography: "In the book you categorically deny it." Tommy told him: "Yeah in the last chapter in there what I did was add all my feelings in there. I felt freely in the book to speak So that's why I added the last chapter to keep everybody up to date. It has been tough but you can read about it all in there."
