Molly-Mae Hague has made a candid admission about her daughter Bambi’s new ‘concerning’ behaviour. 

The former Love Island star, 25, took to her YouTube channel on Thursday to update fans about life with her 23-month-old tot – who she shares with ex Tommy Fury. 

Looking sombre, Molly-Mae admitted ‘morale was low’ as she shared Bambi had developed a habit of hitting her in the face.

‘She’s been a little bit hitty and smacky and she keeps doing this thing where if I’m in front of her, she goes for my face and grabs my face really hard,’ Molly-Mae admitted. 

‘Yesterday, she fully left a nail mark in my face from where she was grabbing me. She keeps grabbing on to my neck and squeezing so hard and digging her nails in.’ 

The TV personality shared that the behaviour had been hurting her feelings, and that she had been worrying about why Bambi was doing this and where she had learnt it.

Speaking to fans, Molly-Mae confessed: ‘Bambi is just, she hurt my feelings a little bit the last two days and this morning was a little bit frustrating as well.’

Updating fans on how her day had started positively, Molly-Mae said: ‘She’s gone to nursery this morning and this was the first time she went in with zero tears, she went in really happy, really excited to be there so that was really positive. She’s settled in so well now at nursery.

‘She’s literally only doing one day a week, but it’s just to get her used to being around other children and to not be at home all the time, so that’s really good.’

But then the influencer opened up about Bambi’s ‘concerning’ behaviour, adding: ‘Yesterday, she fully left a nail mark in my face from where she was grabbing me. She keeps grabbing onto my neck and squeezing so hard and digging her nails in.

‘She knows she’s doing it to hurt which is so bizarre. Once I’ve then told her that that’s not ok and we can’t hurt people, she just laughs and does it again.

‘I can’t seem to get her to understand at the minute that she can’t hurt me. All of yesterday and last night and this morning, she just keeps doing it.’

Molly-Mae added: ‘Whenever I’m in front of her, she just goes for me, scratches me, hits me, it’s really quite concerning, so that’s why my morale is a bit low this morning.

‘I’ve spoken to a few different people and the advice people are giving me is all different. Someone said it’s best that when she does it, you completely ignore it, to not give it attention, because she’s doing it for attention, she’s doing it for a reaction.

Speaking to fans, Molly-Mae confessed: ‘Bambi is just, she hurt my feelings a little bit the last two days and this morning was a little bit frustrating as well’

‘So if you give her no reaction, she’ll think “That’s not done anything, so I’ll stop doing it”.

But Molly-Mae said she struggles with the idea of pretending like nothing has happened after being hit by Bambi. 

‘I don’t know if there’s a repercussion, she needs to sit in her cot for a minute or a time out or we start introducing the naughty step, but she’s not even two yet, she doesn’t understand,’ she added.

‘She does understand the word “No” though and she does know what she’s doing because she’s doing it on purpose to get a reaction.

‘That’s why I’m feeling a bit deflated this morning because obviously it’s just not nice. I’m so big on raising her to be a really kind, gentle, human being that would never ever do anything like that.’

Lifting the lid on co-parenting with her ex Tommy Fury, Molly-Mae seemed to share her frustration at a change in their schedule

She said: ‘It’s a Monday today and we have standard Monday procedure – swimming this morning’

Molly-Mae continued: ‘I just don’t know where she’s picked up that behaviour from. She’s only been going to nursery for a few weeks so I can’t imagine it would be from there.’

‘Tommy normally goes swimming with Bambi but he’s now started training camp, so I’m on swimming duty today.’
