Molly-Mae Hague, the star of Love Island, has apologized for her comments on the Diary Of A CEO podcast about “having the same 24 hours in a day.”
Reality TV star Molly-Mae Hague has said a remark she made about everyone having “the same 24 hours in a day” led to “hateful comments” and “death threats”.
In the second series of her show, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, the influencer and businesswoman, 26, who found fame on ITV dating show Love Island, discusses the backlash that followed her appearance in a 2022 episode of the Diary Of A CEO podcast.
She also speaks about the furore after she said in a YouTube video that she had not “done one social fun thing” in the summer, with fans pointing out she had been to Dubai and Wimbledon. In episode two of the Prime Video series, she says: “I was so frustrated with myself when I saw the comments about me saying, ‘I’m going to get to the end of this summer and not have had any fun.’

“And I fully understand why some people disagreed with what I said. The days are not the best when the world turns against you.
She continued, “I get really upset with myself when I say something that I think I should have said differently. I detest deceitful behavior. I try my best to put on a brave face, look good, and act professionally because it’s really embarrassing.
Reflecting on her comments in 2022, Hague said she has “accepted and realised” that what she said “was wrong”. “I have never spoken about that 24-hour scandal. I was so disappointed in myself that I’d made that mistake,” she said.” Twitter was huge at that time, and I was trending for weeks.”
In that statement, I genuinely meant nothing about malice. Because I had accepted and realized that that was wrong, I felt like I needed to hold my hands up so that I could upset so many people. Who has that level of anger inside of them to leave such hateful comments and make such hateful comments? Some of the things I’ve received in my inbox are just completely crazy. You would be completely shocked to see it.
After a short clip from the interview went viral on Twitter, now X, Hague was described by some on the social media platform as “tone deaf” and “Thatcherite”.
At the time Hague’s representatives addressed the controversy in a statement that said: “This part of the interview was discussing time efficiency relating to success. “Molly refers to a quote which says, ‘We all have the same 24 hours in a day as Beyonce ’. She was discussing her own experience and how she can resonate with this specific quote.
She keeps working hard to achieve more in her own life by saying, “If you want something enough, you can work hard for it.” Nobody else’s life or circumstance is being weighed by Molly’s commentary. She is limited to describing her own experiences.
In the documentary, Molly also revealed why she won’t wear her Tommy Fury engagement ring and what will need to be done to get it back. In 2019, the pair first met on Love Island. They become the ITV series’ most well-known and well-known romance. However, they split in August of that year after getting engaged to their daughter, Bambi. They are now living in separate homes in Manchester, but they are back together.
Speaking in the new series of Prime Video’s Behind It All, Molly-Mae says: “We’re back together, like we are, back together. But I don’t know what we are.
“I’m not wearing my ring yet because I’m not ready,” she said. Additionally, I kind of like that he gesture a little bit, yeah. Not to ask me again. That’s just like a lot, but it’s just a nice dinner or something to allow me to say, “OK, I’ll wear my ring once more.”
On October 18, Prime Video will exclusively stream Molly-Mae: Behind It All episodes one through three. The final three episodes will be available in early 2026.
