Molly-Mae Hague spends £2.5k on new Chanel bag after being trolled over money making comment

MOLLY-MAE Hague splashed out £2,500 on a new Chanel handbag just days after being trolled for saying she’d rather make money than have friends.

The Love Island star, 22, often unveils her designer purchases on social media, and yesterday she gave fans a look at her light grey bag emblazoned with the famous fashion brand’s logo.

She had to make a tough choice between two shades but eventually opted for the lighter version.

Showing off the expensive item, Molly posed for a selfie holding it up in store.

The Pretty Little Thing creative director recently revealed that she’d rather be out making cash than wasting time on expanding her social circle.

“My circle is minuscule,” she told the Diary Of A CEO podcast.

“I have literally about five people in my circle, and that includes friends.”

The 22-year-old – who is close friends with her fellow Love Island star Maura Higgins – admitted her circle is “absolutely tiny” but that she “likes it that way”.

“I wouldn’t have it any other way,” she said.

“I work, I spend time with my boyfriend and I go to bed.

“That is literally my life. I’m not bothered about a social life. It’s never been something I’ve been interested in.”

The health conscious star says she doesn’t really drink alcohol and isn’t a fan of parties or going out.

“It’s not for me. I’d rather just focus on making money, being successful and being happy,” she said.

“Friends, they come and go and I find it a bit of a waste of time.”

Molly-Mae admits making new friends is “time-consuming” and that she “lost a lot of friends” since appearing on Love Island in 2019.

“It sounds savage but sometimes friends, they just – not cling on, but they don’t add much,” she said.

“I know that sounds a bit savage, but… I’m not that girl from Hitchin any more. I’m not that young girl who was a lifeguard at Hitchin swimming pool.

“That’s not me. I’m living in a different world now and a lot of my friends can’t relate to that.”

Molly-Mae admitted: “I’m a bit of a loner but I like it.”

Molly recently took a break from Instagram amid a tough month which saw the flat she shares with boyfriend Tommy Fury broken into and £800K of items stolen, before the boxer was forced out of his latest fight through injury.
