dropping

MOLLY-MAE Hague has opened up about her “horrendous” nursery drop-offs with daughter Bambi, three, revealing the struggle has lasted six months.

The mum-of-two shared a snap of their hands with matching hearts drawn on them as she tried to make saying goodbye easier.

Posting on Instagram, Molly-Mae, 27, admitted the change had come after a year and a half of Bambi happily heading into nursery.

The former Love Island star wrote: “Anything to try and make the nursery drop offs less traumatic. 1.5 years of her hop, skipping and jumping into nursery and suddenly it completely changed, 6 months deep of horrendous drop offs!”

The sweet accompanying picture showed the pair holding hands, with a little red heart drawn on each.

Molly-Mae admitted she was struggling to imagine Bambi starting school next year with their current progress having stalled.

She added: “Feels like there’s no end in sight. The idea of this time next year being school… I don’t see in any world that happening!”

It comes after Molly-Mae revealed Bambi had a “full blown tantrum” during a trip to the hairdressers, leaving her considering abandoning the haircut.

She described the visit as “a really traumatic experience”, acknowledging that unfamiliar people and surroundings can feel overwhelming for children.

The TV star and entrepreneur previously revealed that three-year-old Bambi had entered “her aggressive era”, which famously included putting someone in a headlock.

The incident happened during lunch at Pizza Express with friends, with Molly-Mae admitting she had been “very wrong” to think the phase was over.

Molly-Mae is mum to Bambi and three-month-old Midas, whom she shares with fiancé Tommy Fury.

The pair met on Love Island in 2019 and have been together on and off for seven years.

A NEW train ticket rule will be rolled out this weekend, allowing passengers to switch to rival operators for free.

The changes look to make disrupted journeys smoother for travellers and mean they won’t be forced to purchase last-minute pricey tickets.

Those left stranded after a train cancellation will be able to travel on services run by different operators at no additional charge, the government has announced.

The changes are set to be introduced on Sunday, September 20, and promise a smoother travel experience for those facing disrupted journeys.

Many travellers will be aware that cross-operator ticket acceptance is already available across all publicly owned operators.

However, as of Sunday, CrossCountry, Great Western Railway, Avanti West Coast and Chiltern Railways will all become part of the scheme too.

Passengers travelling on any of the services included in the scheme can hop onto the next train if their original route is cancelled, even if it is a different service run by a different operator, without needing to buy a new ticket.

It must be departing two hours before or after your original cancelled service, and the new journey must be a “direct or reasonable alternative route”.

All that is required to complete a journey is showing customer support staff your original ticket to serve as proof of purchase.

Rail Minister, Lord Hendy, said: “This is a simple, common-sense change that puts passengers first.

“No one should be left stranded because of a fragmented railway when their journey is disrupted.

“We’re fixing the railway from the ground up, making it simpler, fairer and easier to use, as we move towards Great British Railways and put public service back at the heart of our railways.”

It is just one of the moves that comes as part of the government’s overhaul of the rail system.

Ahead of the establishment of Great British Railways, travellers can also expect to see pay-as-you-go services rolled out across Greater Manchester, the Midlands and the south-east thanks to a £156million investment by the Government into new ticketing scheme.

A new GBR website and app is also being designed to act as a “one-stop shop” for those heading out on a rail journey.
