The Island Resort costs about £10K per week for 2 adults and 1 child in December and she previously said it was her dream honeymoon destination.
But since the couple doesn’t think that they will be having a honeymoon anytime soon – they just decided to go.
In her vlog, Molly-Mae said: “I really wanted to vlog a little bit of this trip. I love making videos for you guys but also I never filmholidays anymore.
A second said: “So refreshing to see an influencer chilling on holiday rather than all the unrealistic full glam posts, this is how we all look most of the time on holiday – makeup free, sea salt hair and fully relaxed. Thank you mo.”
While a third said: “I just love this vlog. Molly going on every 5 minutes about how grateful she is to be there.
“Her and Tommy describing how they burst into tears from the overwhelming appreciation of even being able to stay there.
“Even the moment when Tommy explained to bambi how their trip is a holiday, and they can’t just jet out whenever they want, showing how this luxury isn’t affordable for the average person.
“You & Tommy are both incredible human beings and you both should be proud for the loving and humble life you’ve created for yourselves and your little human.”

Love Island’s Millie Court is hoping to find love once again on the show’s All Stars spin-off – and has revealed the lessons she’s learnt from her romance with ex Liam Reardon. The 29-year-old appeared on Love Island’s 2021 series, which she won with Welsh bricklayer Liam.
The pair dated on-and-off until breaking up in September last year, with insiders claiming that the long-distance relationship was too “difficult” for them to navigate. Speaking to The Mirror and other press ahead of All Stars, Millie seemed to hint that this was the case
When asked whether she would date an international contestant after doing long distance with Liam, Millie said: “Only if they agree to move to London – I’m not moving!”
As for what she had learnt from her first stint on Love Island, which saw Liam cheat on her during Casa Amor, Millie said: “I mean I’m 29 now, so I’d say I’ve definitely matured, grown up a bit.
“I won’t take as sh** this time, oops sorry for my language. But who knows? You know when you really like someone, sometimes they make a mistake and I don’t know, I can’t speak for future Millie, hopefully I won’t take any s**t.”
Millie added that she’s willing to step away from her usual type to find love this time around. “I feel like I’ve got a very specific type.
“I have to have someone that’s taller than me because I’m quite tall for a girl, especially with heels on.
“I’m very strict with that and I think maybe that’s not working. So maybe I need to switch it up a little bit. Give some other boys a try that aren’t not my usual type.
“See what the connections are like if there’s a vibe there and maybe I shouldn’t always look for brunettes with the beard. Knowing me I probably will fall fancy for someone like that.”
Millie admitted that she’s returned to Love Island with hopes of settling down. “I’m 30 this year, so I am on the hunt to find my husband and someone who I can have kids with because I don’t want another relationship that doesn’t work out.
“I want to find the one,” she said. “So hopefully that happens.”
Love Island: All Stars begins on Monday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury’s relationship is once again under the spotlight in the new episodes of her Prime Video documentary after the couple decided to give their romance another go

The new Molly-Mae Hague documentary series will focus on her moving back in with Tommy Fury as she tells fans: “My life’s gonna change, everything’s gonna be different.”
The trailer for the final part of the second series of Molly-Mae: Behind It All dropped online tonight ahead of the launch on Prime Video on January 16. It initially shows how Molly’s sister Zoe has moved in with her to help her with childcare and growing her business Maebe.
But also in the 80 second clip, Molly is shown trying to gain self confidence ahead of moving back in with Tommy. She tells the cameras: “I am very proud of me and Tommy for working through things. It’s just gonna bring us even closer as a family.”
As the trailer shows a removal van she adds: “I’m closing the door and leaving behind such an incredible chapter of my life. It’s very bittersweet. It’s also just that fear of not knowing what to round the corner. So just a few things going on.”
Molly-Mae is engaged to Tommy after the couple met on Love Island in 2019. They became the most famous and celebrated romance from the ITV series. But after they got engaged and had their daughter Bambi together, they split in August 2024 amidst rumours Tommy had cheated, something he has always denied.
In the first series of the Prime Video documentary released a year ago, things had been very different and Molly-Mae and Tommy were not together and living apart. Tommy only featured on the phone and not in scenes on screen.
At that time on screen she said: “The last couple of months have been like the worst couple of months of my life. The feeling of a break up, it’s like a physical pain, like your heart actually hurts. For everyone else, it’s news, a bit of gossip. But for us, it’s real life. Your whole world just feels like it’s over.
“You don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m dealing with the falling apart of our relationship.” But in a look toward what ended up happening in the future she also told the cameras her love for Tommy “didn’t disappear overnight” after they were spotted kissing at a party on New Year’s Eve to see in the year 2025.
Some of the problems at the time had been blamed on alcohol. Molly said back then: “There were exterior issues going on for him that were causing our relationship to have problems. It was drinking isn’t it?
“I never, ever wanted to be with someone that drank, because my mum had a period of time in her life where she struggled because her marriage of 25 years had just ended, and she turned to drink, probably more than she should have.
“I was only about 14,15 when that happened, and I saw my mum in some like states, going through a really, like vulnerable time. So I have never, ever, ever been around it in a positive light.
“Tommy wanted to have a family life, but then also have the life of a 25-year-old boy with no responsibilities. And the two don’t go hand in hand. He’s never had an alcohol problem. It’s just that alcohol caused problems for us. It got to a point where I wasn’t really looking forward to anything, because alcohol affected it so much.”
In the new trailer Tommy is shown with Bambi in a clear sign they are back together as a family. They have recently all been to the Maldives and posted photos showing them all together on social media.
Molly-Mae: Behind It All Series 2 Part 2 (Episodes 4-6) will launch on 16th January 2026.
Love Island host, Maya Jama, was notably absent from the show’s All Stars launch this week after she was forced to pull out of the glitzy event due to ill health

TV star, Maya Jama, has updated fans on her health after missing Love Island’s All Stars launch yesterday. Fans of the ITV reality show had hoped to see the host at the glitzy event in London – when the line-up was announced – however, Maya was forced to pull out after falling ill.
Thankfully, viewers needn’t worry because the Bristol-born star, 31, will still be hosting the show, which kicks off on Monday, January 12. Taking to Instagram, admitting she’d been ‘knocked out by flu’, Maya shared a snap of herself flying to South Africa where the series is filmed.
Seen lying in one of the aircraft’s plush beds, sporting a fluffy cream jumper and an eye mask, she wrote: “Used to spend this flight on the reds chatting away to the flight crew, but entering this year wholesome… Lol truthfully the flu came in last minute to kick my ass for the last 24hrs. Vitamin c’d up and praying the sun deletes it all, next stop,” with a South African flag emoji.
While Maya was due to attend the loved-up launch on Monday, the panel’s host Elizabeth Day announced that she was unable to attend after feeling unwell.
Confirming her illness, a representative said: “Maya is unfortunately unwell and wasn’t able to attend this morning’s launch event. She looks forward to the Love Island All Stars premiere on January 12th.”
Fans can’t wait for the spin-off show to kick off next week in which former Islanders try and find love in the villa again.
And it already looks like there’s going to be plenty of drama before the opening credits have started rolling after fans uncovered a tweet by confirmed All Star, Helena Ford, which reveals her secret feud with a fellow star.
After the 2026 line-up was revealed by ITV yesterday, fans uncovered old tweets seemingly written by Helena in which she accuses series three’s Charlie Frederick of ‘closing down’ her 16th birthday party. The pair are set to reunite in the All Stars villa in just a few days time.
In a tweet which dates back to 2018, Helena appears to have written: “Nah that Charlie Fredrick [sic] kid got my 16th party closed down, said I looked like a dolphin.”
Sharing the tweet online, one fan wrote: “So seems like Helena and Charlie have met. Helena tweeted this about Charlie in 2018. This tweet went viral last year. #LoveIsland.”
Another wrote on Reddit: “This is bonkers. And honestly exactly the kind of beef I want lmaooooo please let this be a major plot point it’s so bizarre and hilarious.”
Meanwhile, a third declared: “Ok now this is the kinda foolishness I can get behind!”
LOVE Island star Paige Thorne was left with a bloodied nose after her boyfriend accidentally punched her in the face on a ski slope.
Paige, 28, and Josh Foreman filmed themselves having fun on the slopes of Avoriaz, France, as they sledded down a mountain on his snowboard.

After one failed attempt, they had another go and burst out laughing as they came to a stop in the powdery snow close to the bottom.
But as they lay giggling, the snowboard began to slide down the slope.
Josh reacted quickly and sprung up to chase it down, unwittingly bashing Paige’s face in the process.
She staggered down the remainder of the slope on foot filming herself on a selfie stick saying: “I’ve got a nose bleed.”
When she eventually caught up with Josh she said: “You punched me in the nose as you stood up.”
Shocked, he replied: “Shut up! Did you get it on camera?”
In the comments, one follower wrote: “Omg he didn’t even realise lol. Bet that hurt! What are you filming with just out of interest?”
Paige replied: “I know, he’s got such thick gloves he had no clue! Surprisingly it didn’t but I think because of the altitude and the cold it just made it real easy to bleed lol x.”
The paramedic found the mountains tough going overall, writing that the region wasn’t for “the faint-hearted”.
Paige recently faced backlash for saying she has “let herself go” after putting on 6lbs since she and Josh started dating.
She said on TikTok: “I honestly thought it was a myth – you get a boyfriend, you find the right one, you settle down and then do you know what happens?
“You stop caring about your appearance, you let yourself go, yada yada yada.
“I always thought no, that will never be me.”
However, Paige said that she’s been “smashing” three advent calendar chocolates a day, as well as skipping the gym – which has led to her skin breaking out and a gain of 6lbs.
The comments section of the TikTok was almost immediately filled with people responding to Paige’s weight admission, with many insisting she needs to be more responsible with her videos.
“This is a toxic message to girls,” one raged.

The former Islander was left ‘panicking’ just seconds into the first task of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins season eight
The Channel 4 show has returned for its eight season(Image: Channel 4)
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins star Gabby Allen was left furious after failing the show’s first challenge within seconds.
The thrilling Channel 4 programme kicked off its eighth series on Sunday (January 4), featuring 14 celebs braving a modified version of the gruelling SAS (Special Air Service) training.
In a series first, the contestants are split into two international teams: seven Brits and seven Aussies.
Team UK boasts Love Island favourites Gabby and Dani Dyer, social media influencers Jack Joseph and Cole Anderson James, rugby hero Ben Cohen, Gladiator Toby Olubi, and cricket star Graeme Swann.
The first mission of this year’s series was an emergency evacuation drill, where one participant from each team was strapped into a plane and submerged underwater, reports OK!.
Once under, they had to hold their breath for 30 seconds before being given the signal to escape. Gabby was up first, alongside Olympic swimming champ Mack Horton.
The risk of drowning was acknowledged prior to the stars being plunged into the water, but things quickly took a horrifying turn as Gabby began to panic just seconds into the task.
She was swiftly rescued by the crew who recognised her “panicking”. The reality star “failed” the test as she couldn’t hold her breath for the necessary duration.
The 33-year-old appeared visibly annoyed following the challenge. Looking back on it, she remarked: “I weren’t scared about the height, I weren’t scared about the water. And then I f****** didn’t take a big enough breath. What the f***? !”
Ex-Islander Dani similarly fell short in completing the emergency evacuation challenge. “Instantly, I failed,” she vented afterwards.
Ahead of the episode going to air, the 29-year-old had shared her thoughts with followers regarding her time on the gruelling military programme.
In an Instagram Stories video, Dani revealed: “SAS is obviously on tonight at nine o’clock. This is one show I’ve been absolutely really excited for you all to see, but also petrified because it was one of the hardest experiences of my entire life.”
She went on: “I’d love to do it again, this is one of those things I’d love to do again and be a lot more headstrong, and a lot more…not a wimp. But do you know what? It was great and, yeah, I hope you all enjoy it.”
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins continues tomorrow night at 9pm on Channel 4

With just two weeks to go until the new series of Love Island All Stars airs it has been revealed that Summer Botwe from the 2022 series is now heading to the location ahead of filming

Love Island All Stars is set to be a strong contender for being one of the best if ITV’s latest signing is anything to go by. It has been revealed that former Casa Amor bombshell Summer Botwe has signed up for the upcoming series and his heading to the villa two weeks before the show is due to air.
A source revealed that the reality TV star and influencer has already started to pack her bags and is ready to jet off to find her Mr Right. Summer appeared on the show in 2022 when she came on as one of six Casa Amor bombshells.
And during her time on the ITV2 show she made her presence known as she became part of a love triangle between Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack. Even though he had picked Summer, Dami soon changed his mind and decided to give things another go with his previous flame.
A source told The Sun: “Summer’s packing her bags right now. She can’t wait to be on the show.” A show insider said last month: “Summer is in early talks to return to the show. She was such a huge character in series 8 and really wants to find love. All Stars has a good track record, so she’d be on the right show!”
However, ITV refused to confirm speculation at the time. Summer is no stranger to a celebrity lifestyle as her dad is the award-winning garage MC called MC CKP. Other names that have been reportedly confirmed are Belle Hassan and former winner Millie Court, following her split with Liam Reardon.
Harrison Solomon, Samie Elishi, Jess Harding and Lana Jenkins are also rumoured to be heading to the villa. The series will be held in South Africa, and host Maya Jama has previously revealed that she has already started to film segments for the show.
In a pre-recorded clip, Maya said: “So we are here on set, first bit of All Stars experience I’m having this year. Had my glam done, and the Islanders are all hidden in secret rooms. I’ve not seen any of them yet.”
She then added: “I can’t tease anything apart from the fact that you’re gonna love it, and there’ll be some familiar faces… obviously. It’s all feeling like it’s about to start happening. It’s just like Christmas, get out of the way, I’m ready to go to South Africa!”
ITV recently released a teaser video which lasted ten seconds, bringing anticipation of the upcoming series to a new level. The clip shows a series of Polaroid-style pictures which are connected with a string to notes. And the caption says: “Who’s got unfinished business?”
The teaser promises the series will have more drama than ever before, and now fans of the show are left wondering who will return to settle a few scores. The infamous narrator Ian Sterling will be returning for the latest series.
The first series of Love Island All Stars, which aired last year, saw winners Molly Smith and Tom Clare connect with each other and move in together after the show ended. Tom later popped the question while on a romantic break in Dubai
And during this year’s series Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman appeared to find love but their romance failed to stand the test of time on the outside world. Love Island: All Stars starts on January 12 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
Former Hollyoaks actor Curtis was paired with Amy Hart but he unceremoniously left her for bombshell Maura Higgins. But like many before them, they were not able to make it in the outside world and split up. There had been rumours that he cheated on her.
Others stars that have been rumoured to return this year also include Scott van-der-Sluis who was on series ten, Whitney Adebayo, Remell Ellis-Mullings, Jacques O’Neil and finally if the rumour mill is to be believed, Alima Gagigo who was on series 12.
Charlie Frederick has reportedly signed up for Love Island: All Stars, eight years on from when he briefly appeared on the regular edition of the ITV2 dating show

Charlie Frederick has reportedly signed up for Love Island: All Stars. The reality star, 29, initially appeared briefly on the 2018 edition of the ITV2 dating competition, where he was coupled up with Hayley Hughes for a matter of days before being dumped from the famous villa.
Now, it’s thought that Charlie, who also appeared on Made in Chelsea as the best friend of Sam Holmes, is set to make a return to the villa after being persuaded by bosses to take part in the spin-off, which brings back memorable characters from the regular version of the series.
This year, the ITV dating show has had a huge format shake-up, with singletons heading out to South Africa for six weeks, rather than five as has been the case in previous years.
A source told The Sun: “Charlie’s been in the gym nonstop since he spoke to bosses about returning to the show. He went too early when he was on the 2018 series, the first time – this time he wants to find love!”
Following his initial stint on Love Island, Charlie claimed he would have progressed further in the competition had he not been coupled up with Hayley, and she described him as “bitter” after hearing his comments. Then, during an appearance on ITV’s Lorraine, the pair refused to sit with each other in the studio. At the time, Charlie explained: “We’re fine, we’re just frosty cause I’m a bit gutted to be honest. You just want to get your own piece across.
“I’m bitter and angry, not to her; I can’t hold a grudge. It is what it is. I feel like I’ve been hard done by, and my chance has been taken away from me. It was so much fun, I’m missing it.” Lorraine, who was visibly sensing the awkwardness, then jokingly told Charlie to “go away” so Hayley could come in. Charlie said it was “so awkward” as he gestured with his arms while walking out of the studio.
Hayley then appeared from the other side to avoid walking past Charlie. On her relationship with Charlie, she said: “Maybe near the end, I was a bit cold. I think that is something I need to work on. If I’m not interested in someone or can’t see it going any furthe,r I pull away.” After splitting from Hayley, Charlie had a relationship with Instagram model Natalie Clowes.
Insiders recently claimed that villa bombshell Yasmin Pettet is set to let the cameras follow her all over again, and she is currently being considered for a return to the villa when All Stars comes back to screens early next year, following her split from Jamie Rhodes. A source said: “ITV bosses are already starting to approach ex Islanders and they knew from the moment Yas stepped into the villa, she’d make the perfect ‘All Star’ – she’s one of the most controversial bombshells in the show’s history and will have absolutely no issue shaking up the villa for the second time, or treading on people’s toes.
“Now things are over with Jamie; she’s in very early, tentative talks. She’s not sure if going back to the show would be the right move, but she’s had loads of offers
Ciaran Davies finished runner-up with then-girlfriend Nicole Samuel, but they called it quits in December 2024. Bosses are now keen to get the Welsh hunk on board, although he is in the very early stages of negotiations right now.
Prior to that, it was reported that Jess Harding, who won series 10 of the regular series alongside Sammy Root, is also in talks lined up for the next competition, when it kicks off in South Africa next year.
Alima Gagigo is also said to be in meetings with bosses about a comeback, just weeks after she competed in series 12 of the programme and was dumped on Day 24. Andrada Pop, who was a bombshell in Casa Amor earlier this year, has also been approached by producers.
Single Islanders from across the 10 years of the show will return to the famous Villa in South Africa, but this time they’ll be in the villa for six weeks instead of five.
Speaking on the renewal, Mike Spencer-Hayter, Creative Director at Lifted Entertainment, said: “Love Island: All Stars has quickly established itself as a stand-alone hit, keeping fans of the show gripped by iconic Islanders from the past 10 years returning for another chance to find love. We are very excited about series 3, and you can expect the twists and turns to continue in All Stars, after an incredible smash hit summer series.”
The second series of Love Island: All Stars aired earlier this year and was won by Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman. The series also saw the reunion of Ronnie Vint and Harriet Blackmore – but it didn’t come without complaints.

The former Love Island star revealed that she wants to “really get my s*** together in 2026” as she and Pete read out new years resolutions sent in by fans.
“I want to really get my s*** together in 2026”, she said on the podcast.
Olivia continued: “I feel like I had a good work year. I think my personal life was garbage, so I’d like to have more of a balance in 2026.”
Pete, 37, responded by telling pal Olivia that he would aim to settle down in the next 12 months, but his claim was swiftly dismissed by Olivia.
They quickly became pals and have remained close ever since, and this year that friendship became a working relationship as the pair managed to bag their own The Sunday Roast podcast on KISS FM.
Olivia spoke candidly about her festive period – and told how she’ll be enjoying December 25 with her dogs instead.
After admitting Brad will be playing football or training “most of the time” she said: “I’m in London for Christmas.
“I’m staying in London but going to a hotel, we did the family already, we’re done… We can’t go skiing because of the football.’

She told Towie star Pete on their show: “I decided to do a hotel which is just 10 minutes from my house, I feel I physically, mentally needed a break from where we’re currently living, because we’ve got s**t everywhere, boxes, suitcases.
“I just need to not be there.”
It came after she previously uploaded a video to social media where she wrote over the clip: “Saying goodbye to the house I will never call home again.”
The video finished with a heartbroken Olivia seen waving goodbye to her home.
Writing over the last bit of the clip, she said: “Next chapter pending.”

“When I first arrived it felt like stepping into nature as the whole hotel has been beautifully designed with sandy warm colours inspired by our planet and aspects of rich cultural Emirati heritage.
Lucie has been in a relationship with her former co-star, Luke Mabbott, 29, with the pair going on to become engaged in 2021.
Back in December the loved-up pair got accused of ‘getting engaged for likes on Instagram’ when they celebrated their proposal on holiday.
Luke shared a snap from their special moment with the caption: “2 year’s engaged…”
Some took to the comments section to share how confused they were by their engagement.
One user commented: “I’ve always said that an engagement isn’t real unless they’ve set a date for a wedding.
They continued: “Otherwise, it’s just like my plan to be a millionaire: it’s it’s vague goal without any realistic “when” or “how”.”
The couple shot to fame on different series of Love Island.

Fleur East couldn’t hold back the emotions as she listened to Strictly Come Dancing finalist Amber Davies speak candidly about her time on the show during Friday’s It Takes Two

Fleur East broke down in tears over Amber Davies‘ comments on It Takes Two. The presenter, 38, was at the helm of the Strictly Come Dancing spin-off on Friday when she welcomed West End star Amber, 29, and her professional partner Nikita Kuzmin onto the show for a chat just days ahead of the final.
The former Love Island winner has made it to the very last round of the competition and will face YouTuber George Clarke as well as Lioness Karen Carney for the chance to lift the Glitterball Trophy. As part of her It Takes Two appearance, Amber was presented with video messages from her loved ones, who encouraged her ahead of the big night.
Struggling to control her emotions, Amber said: “Thank you so much, honestly, for giving me that gift. Thank you, honestly! I think I have learned so much about myself, and I’ve learned how to be in control of my body and my mind. It has brought so much happiness into my life, my family’s life, and my partner’s life!”
Amber and Nikita had already started crying by this point, and former X Factor star Fleur grabbed the tissues herself as she said: “We’re all losing it.” Amber then turned to her professional partner and said: “I’ve met you, and your incredible family and your girlfriend. Honestly, I will never have a moment in my life like this again so, tomorrow, I just want to enjoy every single second of it.
The actress was ushered in as a last minute replacement for fellow Love Island winner Dani Dyer, who sustained an injury just before the first week of the competition, and admitted that while it would be “lovely” to win, she is just so honoured to have taken part in the first place as it was so unexpected to begin with.
She added: “It would be lovely to lift the Glitterball Trophy, but it is so much more to be than that. I never thought I’d do Strictly in my lifetime and this has been a joy. I feel so honoured to have been able to take part in this experience.”
Since winning Love Island in 2017, Amber, who trained at Urdang Academy, a prestigious drama school in London, has launched an incredibly successful theatre career, having starred in 9 to 5: The Musical, The Great Gatsby, and next year, she will be taking on the leading role of Elle Woods in a UK tour of Legally Blonde.
But the star has repeatedly insisted that the kind of training she already has under her belt is nothing like what she has had to learn for Strictly. Despite this, the comments she has received on social media have reached beyond criticism to become nothing short of bullying.
On Sunday night, following the latest results show, Amber took to social media to tell her fans and lavish praise on her fellow contestants – and embrace all the positive experiences she has enjoyed over the past few months. Sharing a photo of herself with defeated semi-finalist Balvinder, the stage star wrote: “To do this experience next to you has been the biggest gift & life lesson, your strength and resilience has inspired me every single day. You are one of a kind, I will always be #TeamBal.”
In a video message to followers, Amber explained that she was supporting her fellow finalists, YouTube star George Clarke and footballer Karen Carney, as they all face the last stage of the competition together. She said via Instagram: “I just wanna come on here and say in the close to a decade I’ve been in the public eye, I’ve never experienced an outpouring of love the way I have in the last 48 hours.
She continued: “And to make the Strictly final is…I’m speechless. From how it started, I genuinely can’t believe I’ve made it to the end, but you know, I’ve just realised, I think I’ve needed to do Strictly to realise that there is so much kindness in this world.”
And she explained: “Like Nikita said, we’re stronger when we’re kinder and I’m going to literally enjoy every single second of this week. I’m rooting for George, I’m rooting for Kaz, and I’m just gonna be there to enjoy the ride.”
