Molly-Mae Hague ‘terrified’ as she prepares to reveal secret battle in new Amazon series

Former Love Island star and YouTube sensation Molly-Mae Hague is gearing up for the release of season 2 of her hit Amazon Prime docu-series titled Molly-Mae: Behind It All

Molly-Mae Hague has admitted that she’s riddled with anxiety ahead of the launch of the new series of her reality TV series, insisting that fans are set to see a whole different side of her. The 26-year-old is returning to screens this weekend with three new eps of Behind It All, after the first series won an NTA award earlier this year.

At a launch event at Selfridges, Molly-Mae teased that she’s set to open up about struggles she has never publicly spoken about before. Of the new series, she said: “I was able to kind of trust the crew a little bit more and just to sort of let go a little bit, which I definitely have done in this season.

“I think you’ll see there’s bits that maybe I would have held back or wanted to sort of shy away from sharing, or topics that I feel like I didn’t maybe put the trust in the crew to talk about last time, because there’s just new territory for me.

“But this time around, I’m like, You know what? This isn’t our first rodeo. Now, we’ve done this before. I can really put my trust in them and just know that they’ve got my best interest and just more of a leap of faith with this one.

“I do feel really nervous about them, because we do talk about things in there that I haven’t spoken about before, but yeah, kind of just trusting the crew,” Molly-Mae admitted.

The social media superstar went on to admit that fans will see a whole new side to her in the new series, and they will be in for a shock.

Mum-of-one Molly-Mae revealed: “It’s definitely a new way to share my story. I feel like maybe Instagram is like that polished highlight reel where we keep it kind of like just in one lane, and YouTube is also where I can share a bit more, but never as much as I felt like I’ve shared in the doc, especially this time around.

“I’ve really spoken about things that I especially in two and three, that I just haven’t really delved into before. And just it’s been really nice to actually just speak a bit more. I feel like, over the few past few years, I kind of don’t speak as much, but having this show has been has enabled me to kind of just, yeah, be a bit more like ‘this is me’.”

While the whole second series shows a different side to Molly-Mae, she revealed that there’s one episode in particular that she’s incredibly anxious about.

“Episode three, I’m probably most nervous for. I mean, honestly, I’m definitely more nervous for this season than I was the first because I think it just delves into me more,” she admitted.

“And I think because obviously, last time, there was a lot going on and there was a lot of different storylines, and I felt like it was, it was about me and it was about other things at the same time, yeah. But with episode three, we definitely share things that in a dream world, maybe I’ve been like ‘CUT’. yeah.

“But I think also that’s just me at the start, because I was like, we’re gonna do it. Let’s just do it. Go for it. Like, show the good, bad, the ugly. Like, not every day goes smooth. But yeah, episode three is the drama.”

Last month, Molly-Mae’s dreams came true when she won her first National Television Award for her Amazon Prime docuseries. The influencer beat off competition from the likes of Amy Dowden, Freddie Flintoff, and Rob Burrow – who she dedicated her huge win to.

Molly-Mae faced harsh criticism after her incredible win for Best Authored Documentary at the NTA’s, and has now admitted that her dream of winning the public-voted gong has added the pressure.

“It definitely added the pressure, I think, within the NTA, I mean, we felt the pressure anyway, because I’m massive perfectionist, and I just want everything that I put out to be like I just said before,” she shared.

“I want them to enjoy it and fit to be perfect. But I think often in NTA, it does just add that pressure, because people like, okay, it’s winning awards. So follow that same energy. But no, it’s been so fun doing it again.”

Molly-Mae returns to the spotlight this weekend with Prime Video hoping the series is another big hit after Series 1 became the most-watched series on Prime Video by young women (18-34) in the UK.

The new series shows Molly Mae as she embarks on an exciting new chapter as she takes her business empire to the next level while navigating the challenges of motherhood with daughter Bambi under the scrutiny of millions.

She also spoke earlier this month of her hope to have a second baby one day and a sibling for Bambi. “I think about it a lot and it’s something that I feel quite a large pressure around because I’m desperate to give Bambi a sibling,’ she told Cosmopolitan.

“My life wouldn’t have been the same without my sister. I was the younger sister, so I benefited even more from having someone to guide me and someone to look up to. I’d want that for Bambi, but I would never want to do it just for her – I’d want to do it also because it’s something I want to do.”

Liam Payne accused waiter speaks out about prison assault from behind bars

The waiter accused of selling cocaine to Liam Payne has spoken out about his treatment from other prisoners where he’s being held while a trial date goes unset

The waiter accused of selling drugs to Liam Payne before his death has spoken out from behind bars. Braian Paiz, 25, claimed he has been assaulted, burned and threatened by the other inmates while he waits to see if a trial date has been set.

Liam Payne died a year ago today, after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina. The cause of death was ruled as ‘polytrauma’, which is where death occurs from multiple injuries. But a toxicology report showed traces of cocaine, and Paiz was arrested for selling it to the singer, which he denies.

The waiter has been in prison since January, after police raided his home. Most prisoners only spend a few weeks in the holding facility, and are then transferred to formal prisons, but Paiz has been there more than eight months.

From behind bars, Paiz has now done an interview where he alleges he has suffered multiple injuries inflicted by the other inmates. He has claimed that his fellow prisoners, who nicknamed him “Killer”, have assaulted him, hit him with a canister, burned him with boiling water and threatened to electrocute him.

Paiz spoke about his experience in a 30-minute interview with Gente Magazine, an Argentinian magazine. “I live with 15 people in a cell and they treat me like a rat.”

He was not more specific about how badly he had been hurt, but his lawyer, Juan Pablo Madeo Facente, told the Daily Mail that Paiz has been beaten, denied urgent medical care after contracting a urinary tract infection and now relies on anti-depressants.

He has been charged with selling cocaine to the One Direction star, but has yet to face a trial, as the authorities are still working through 800 hours of footage from CCTV and mobile phones. In Argentina, a judge must be presented with evidence to decide if a trial should go ahead before a date can be set. If a trial does go ahead, Paiz could face up to 15 years in prison.

He has admitted to giving drugs to Payne, but has denied taking money for them, which is the offence he’s been charged with. Paiz, who was arrested alongside hotel cleaner Ezequiel David Pereyra, 22, told The Sun that he wished the singer hadn’t died but did not regret meeting him.

He said: “I wish [Payne] hadn’t died and things were different. I used to feel regret about what happened, but actually I don’t regret meeting him as he was my idol and I was a big fan.”

Pereyra also spoke to The Sun and claimed the bosses of the hotel, Casa Sur Palermo, turned a blind eye to Payne’s drug use. He told the publication that the hotel had the singer in “an isolated bunker” and “let him do anything he wanted” because “he was making them too much money”.

“But I think the biggest mistake was not calling an ambulance when Payne passed out in the lobby,” he added. “If the hotel had acted differently, Liam could have been saved.”

Pereyra claimed Liam was moved from the lobby “because that day they had many foreign guests checking in”. Detailing the tragic moments that followed, the cleaner said the bosses called police instead of an ambulance after leaving Liam in his room alone.

He claimed by the time they made the call, “it was already too late.” Pereyra claimed Liam’s death could have been prevented and was “very sad”.

The police investigation has contradicted this and revealed that the hotel receptionist called the ambulance at 5pm, once Liam had been taken to his room.

The Mirror reached out to Casa Sur Palermo when Pereyra’s allegations were published.

VIDEO: INEC Chairman-Designate Amupitan Seeks Nigerian Elections Where Loser Will Congratulate Winner

The Chairman-designate of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Joash Amupitan, has pushed for electoral reforms, saying that Nigeria deserves elections where the loser will congratulate the winner.

Amupitan, who stated this on Thursday during his screening by the Senate, shortly before his confirmation, said he would examine the Electoral Act to strengthen the credibility of Nigerian elections.

Joash Amupitan (fourth-right), a professor of Law, was confirmed by the upper chamber after his screening on Thursday.

According to him, there are inconsistencies in the timeline of elections in Nigeria, a situation he says can be improved.

He stated that credible elections would restore voters’ confidence.

“So, we’re going to see how an election is credible, so that the loser will come and congratulate the winner and say, ‘You won fairly and well’.

“So if we can do that, it’s just like a judge convicting a person, sentencing him to death, and he (convict) says, ‘Well done, because I believe I’ve gotten justice,’” the professor said.

Amupitan was confirmed by the Senate after over two hours of questioning on October 16, 2025.

On whether INEC should take over the conduct of council elections, he said it was an issue the commission would look at.

Amupitan said voter education could be introduced at the primary school level to promote patriotism.

On the challenges associated with the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), the chairman-designate said he would audit the system to identify the problem and give Nigerians a technology everybody will be proud of.

Bradford bounce-back heralds new Super League era

Love them or hate them, Bradford Bulls are a club that certainly generates opinion in rugby league circles.

They also have a rare quality, a pull beyond the usual horizons, a brand that even laypeople can associate however faded the memory.

After 11 years away from Super League, time in which the club were liquidated, reborn, revived and finally returned, the Bulls will run with the elite again in 2026.

For a support starved of the top table it will feel special; a club that once posted a 24,000-plus attendance for a derby with Leeds – that is another factor to savour – can again sing its name proudly under the spotlight.

Yet this was not the triumphant routing of their foes on route to the Championship, a bombastic bounce-back before a packed out Odsal crowd.

Rebuilding after rock-bottom

SWPIX

The sheer drop from one of the game’s major players to a side rebuilt in the bottom tier has taken some of the edge away from Bradford’s claim to be a powerhouse.

It had an effect on the fanbase, the type of player they were able to recruit, and their sway with investors.

However, any fears of the Bulls sliding back into their prior demise have been allayed thanks to the investment of a passionate board, and the club-at-heart mentality of chief executive and hometown fan Jason Hirst.

Their Foundation carries the important role of spreading the sport to a new audience, while partnerships with amateur clubs in the area is also a vital way of establishing links with the community.

Off the field, Bulls have consistently turned a profit in recent seasons, while on it there has been careful rebuilding by a string of coaches starting with John Kear who brought them back from the League One doldrums and restored pride at Odsal, and Mark Dunning also maintained the upward curve.

Up until the end of this season, Brian Noble was brought in, after highly-rated Eamon O’Carroll was snared by St Helens to join their staff, and his legacy as a Bradford legend has helped restore some of the DNA, that passion and professionalism.

Now the reins are to be entrusted to another excellent young coach in Kurt Haggerty, who served his apprenticeship at Toronto, Leigh and Salford before taking this top job.

Odsal grumbles remain

Players from Castleford and Bradford walk out of the tunnel at Odsal, across a shale motorsport track with wooden boards laid down to help avoid slipping, on to the grass pitch while the Challenge Cup stands on a plinth. Fireworks and smoke billow out as fans clap the players out of the dressing rooms.SWPIX

Most fans, even begrudgingly, cannot fail to be impressed by Bradford’s rebirth and the progress made.

That said, while Odsal Stadium has a history as rich and storied as any of Bradford’s legendary players, the venue which opened in 1934 is showing its age.

For large parts it is a huge, open-air bowl with vast concrete terracing cascading down to the pitch, which unusually for a rugby league stadium is lined by a shale motorsport track for stock car racing.

It is this track which has caused much consternation in recent seasons. The pitch corners are somewhat infringed by the track. However, it meets the regulation dimensions.

There is a covered stand which in isolation would stand up to most in Super League, and a building which houses hospitality areas at one end of the stadium.

Bradford have been proactive is installing a big screen, LED advertising hoardings, and extending the TV gantry, amongst other developments, which contributed to their stadium points improvement.

Time to rediscover past glories

When captain Jamie Peacock thrust the Super League trophy into the air at a packed Old Trafford in October 2005, it proved a turning point for Bradford Bulls.

Their fourth title in just nine years was to be their last to date, as stars such as Peacock, Robbie Hunter-Paul and Leon Pryce all departed and the key components of ‘Bullmania’ began to slip away.

By the time the Bulls were relegated in 2014 under the coaching of talismanic former hooker Jimmy Lowes, the aura had faded drastically.

How does this new-look Bradford seek to re-establish themselves amongst the top dogs in the competition?

Well they have that brand, which will help in terms of selling the club to overseas stars and top talent here at home.

Andy Ackers has signed from Leeds, while a host of further arrivals are expected now the floodgates are open and their place is confirmed.

Players such as Shontayne Hape, Lesley Vainakolo, Daniel Gartner, Joe Vagana and the Paul brothers spread the word of Bradford in the southern hemisphere during their time in the game.

Bradford players Jamie Peacock and Lesley Vainakolo embrace at Old Trafford in the Grand Final against Leeds with a hug. Lee Radford and Ian Henderson also come together in jubilation as the Bulls edge closer to winning the title.SWPIX

Not that much has changed since they went away, after all, Hull KR’s 2025 triumph made them only the fifth team to win the competition, and the last time that had been challenged was 2004 when Bulls lost to allow Leeds to join the title-winning club.

Yet it is Hull KR that Bradford can gain heart from. They too had to rebuild and regroup back in 2016 when they were relegated via the Million Pound Game and were promoted a year later.

The Robins have shifted from perennial strugglers to champions, doing so by establishing a core of hungry players initially to set the culture, and appointing a shrewd, driving force coach in Willie Peters.

Now that core in Elliot Minchella – coincidentally a Bradford lad signed from the Bulls – Jez Litten and Dean Hadley provide the heart, lifeblood and spirit of the team, while Mikey Lewis has grown from young talent to world class star in that environment.

Rovers have given heart to everyone, and smashed the big-four ceiling.

Yemen’s Houthis say military chief killed as Israel claims responsibility

Yemen’s Houthis say that their Chief of Staff Mohammed Abdulkarim al-Ghamari, one of the most senior military officials of the group, has been killed “while fulfilling his duties”.

Shortly after the Houthi announcement on Thursday, Israel claimed responsibility for the killing, with Defence Minister Israel Katz saying al-Ghamari was attacked in an Israeli strike.

The Houthis said in a statement that the conflict with Israel had not ended. Israel will “receive its deterrent punishment for the crimes it has committed”, it said.

In August, Israel said it targeted senior figures from the group, including al-Ghamari, in air strikes on the capital Sanaa, killing the prime minister of Yemen’s Houthi-run government and several other ministers.

In a social media post on Thursday, Katz said that al-Ghamari was attacked in an Israeli strike.

“We will do the same against any threat in the future as well”, he added.

Al-Ghamari’s death was announced six days into a fragile US-backed ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The truce has halted Israel’s two-year war on Gaza, which has killed nearly 68,000 Palestinians and triggered a dire humanitarian crisis. Israel has been accused by rights groups and a United Nations Commission of Inquiry of carrying out a genocide in Gaza.

Since Israel launched the war on Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis have carried out drone and missile attacks against Israel, saying that they have been conducted in solidarity with Palestinians under fire. The group has also targeted vessels in the Red Sea.

In response to the Houthi attacks on shipping lanes, the United States and the United Kingdom have attacked Houthi sites in Yemen.

‘Brutal’ attacks

In its statement announcing al-Ghamari’s death, the group condemned repeated “brutal” attacks by Israel against the Yemeni people, residential neighbourhoods, economic facilities and other civilian infrastructure, which have been faced “with patience, strength, steadfastness and resilience”.

Operations carried out by Yemen’s armed and naval forces were “great victories” that would not have happened without the “support, guidance, and sacrifice” of fighters like al-Ghamari, the statement added.

Their statement said the Houthis had carried out 758 military operations deploying 1,835 munitions, including drones and missiles, during their campaign.

Israeli strikes on war-torn Yemen happen regularly and are often devastating, targeting vital infrastructure including the main international airport, while killing dozens at a time.

The Houthis’ leader, Abdel-Malik al-Houthi, praised al-Ghamari’s major role in Yemen’s military operations in support of Gaza.

In a televised address on Thursday, he said the armed forces had offered their leaders as a “sacrifice to God” as part of what he described as a sincere and steadfast stance of resistance.

Al-Houthi said Yemen had acted despite US attempts at “isolating” the Palestinian people. He added that since al-Ghamari’s death, others in leadership and the military will “continue the path”.
