Molly-Mae Hague bursts into tears as she 'struggles with feeling very sad and deflated' on her first Christmas without ex-fiancé Tommy Fury - suong

Molly-Mae Hague admitted she has found the lead-up to Christmas 'very sad' and 'mentally heavy' this year, as she prepares to celebrate the holiday without her ex-fiancé Tommy Fury for the first time.

The former Love Island star, 25, took to her YouTube on Christmas Eve to share a new vlog with her and the boxer's 23-month-old daughter Bambi's visiting Lapland UK and baking cookies to leave out for Santa.

And while she put on a brave face and threw herself into getting in the festive spirit, she admitted that she was 'struggling' with the season this year and feeling 'really deflated'.Speaking directly to the camera, Molly-Mae explained that the time of year had brought up a lot of emotions, adding: 'When you've got things going on in your personal life it can really make it feel 10 times worse.'

It marked a drastic change from Christmas Eve last year, which she celebrated with Tommy, 25, before the pair shocked fans in the summer when they announced they'd split after five years.

She explained her low mood had meant she'd not filmed as much, with her being reluctant to project 'fake happiness' and confessed that she had broken down in tears on Monday night.

Molly-Mae said: 'I haven't not felt in the Christmas mood, but I haven't really been vlogging because I have been feeling quite mentally heavy over the last few days. And I've been struggling a bit more than I usually do.'

She went on: 'I don't really know why - well I do know why actually. But I just have found the last few days quite challenging mentally and I have been quite down to be honest and I haven't felt like picking up my camera. 

'And even if I had picked up my camera it would be like fake happiness and fake giddiness about Christmas and I would never come on and act a way that I'm not feeling. 

'Hence why I'm coming on now and telling you that I have been feeling a little bit low.'

Molly-Mae reflected: 'It's so sad when people say that Christmas brings up emotions and for people it can be a really really sad time of the year and I feel like I've been so blessed in my life, I've never really felt that way at Christmas, it's always been a really positive time for me.

'But I feel like this is the first Christmas ever where I can really understand what people talk about when they talk about how it really makes you feel. 

'Like when you've got things going on in your personal life it can really bring it all up and make it feel 10 times worse.' 

The influencer continued: 'So I've just been feeling just really deflated and my weekend at Taylor and Jack's was surprisingly incredibly hard for multiple reasons.

Elsewhere in the video, Molly-Mae chatted to her best pal Tayla-Blue Watts about how people had noticed she was having a tough time in the comments of her vlogs

'It's Christmas Eve Eve and I'm coming on here literally sounding so down, but I just want to be honest with you guys. 

'Honestly the whole weekend at Taylor and Jack's, Bambi cried. She cried for two days straight and that was very heavy for me. I know I keep using the word heavy but that's the only way to describe how I feel - it sits heavy.

Molly-Mae candidly confessed: 'I actually had a good cry this evening. I had a good cry and let it all out.'

But she added: 'I actually feel a little bit guilty because all my family have come down because I'm hosting this year and I was sitting feeling incredible guilt that I wasn't being the best host and letting them down because they've come all this way. 

'I just didn't feel like I could really be present because I have a lot of stuff on my mind and I was just thinking about a lot and feeling quite sad.

'Gonna wake up with hopefully a more positive attitude tomorrow, and we go again. I'm sorry the start of this vlog has been a complete disaster, because the last few days have been a complete disaster really. 

'Not to put a downer on Christmas, because I think Christmas is amazing and I'm so lucky to have my loved ones around me, but for obvious reasons, this year is feeling very sad. That's no one's fault, it's just a sad situation.'

Her positive comments about time with Tommy came hours after the release of a trailer for her new Prime series Behind It All - where she got tearful about their split (pictured)

She said: 'Sometimes people write things about me as a mum under my videos and the accuracy - people have really worked me out as a mum. 

'Because I'm constantly saying I'm in fight or flight and they're like,"I think you're dealing with something". And I'm like probably, yeah.'

During the video, she went to get her nails and hair done for Christmas Day to cheer herself up, before doing baking with her daughter.

She also revealed that Tommy had visited the house on Monday night dressed as Santa to surprise Bambi, showing how the exes were amicably co-parenting.

Speaking to their toddler, Molly-Mae said: 'Daddy came and dressed up as Santa didn't he? Was he at the door and did he go "Ho, ho ho, Merry Christmas!" It was so funny wasn't it?'

Explaining to her fans, she went on: 'I got Tommy a Santa outfit, because I really wanted her to meet Santa and not have a crying experience because every time she's met Santa in December so far she's hated it.

'But Tommy came round and dressed up as Santa real quick and she met him instantly knew it was him. He was completely covered but she could see his eyes and she knew straight away. And she thought it was the funniest thing ever.'

Molly-Mae and Tommy were seen back in each other's company at the weekend, as they reunited for a festive day out with Bambi in Cheshire, on Saturday.
