Molly-Mae Hague has revealed her hopes to have a second child with boyfriend Tommy Fury – but warned fans to not expect a big announcement any time soon.

The Love Island star welcomed their daughter Bambi in January, and she has been candid on social media as she navigates her way through first-time motherhood.

Despite only having had their little one five months ago, the 24-year-old responded to questions on Tuesday about whether the couple are planning another child any time soon in an Instagram Q&A.

One fan asked her: “Are there plans for a little Bambi sister or brother soon?!”

The reality TV star revealed that in the future she and Tommy would like to have another addition and branded those with more than one child as “superheroes”.

She wrote: “Definitely not for a good while.

“Some day I’ll be ready, but it’s not unknown that I have found it harder than I expected to (even though I’m doing so much better now).

“Plus I don’t know how anyone looks after more than one baby, you’re superheroes!”

Hague shot to fame on Love Island’s fifth season in 2019, and welcomed child Bambi with her co-star Tommy Fury on 23 January.

Elsewhere, the entrepreneur admitted she was struggling with body confidence after giving birth as she discussed wanting to wear a bikini on holiday in Barbados.

In her latest YouTube video, Hague, who was attending her manager’s wedding abroad, admitted that her “confidence was getting worse” despite her hope to “embrace” her post-partum body.

Speaking from her sun-lounger, she shared: “I’ve got this swimming costume on… for me at the minute swimsuits are the one. I’m not a bikini girl at the minute because I just don’t have the confidence.

“I didn’t really have the confidence for bikinis before I had a baby.

Adding: “Right now with my body, I need anything that is going to give me confidence… Because I genuinely feel like with time, my confidence with my body is actually getting worse. It’s irritating me.

“I really felt on this trip that I am going to embrace it, I don’t care, my new mum body, I’m proud of it, and I am, but at the same time I’m finding it hard to accept that I’ve got a real journey to start if I want to feel more confident in my body.”

Despite her want to feel more at ease with herself, she admitted she doesn’t picture herself putting on a two-piece again.

“I was speaking about it to my family. I just don’t ever picture myself putting on a bikini ever again, I never did [feel confident] in the first place. There’s just no way,” she continued.

“Before I had a baby I didn’t feel confident in a bikini, so after having a baby I don’t picture myself ever thinking, ‘I’ll slip a bikini on and feel amazing.’

“I want to and I want to come on here and say “I feel confident and amazing”, but that’s not how I’m feeling at the minute.”
