MOLLY-MAE Hague has revealed she was rushed to hospital after returning home from her Dubai holiday with Tommy Fury.
Love Island star Molly, 25, opened up about the ordeal in an emotional YouTube video, calling it a “weird bad dream” and saying it was completely out of character for her to speak about it so candidly.
She also shared how it came just hours after she'd been pictured rowing with fiancé Tommy, 26.
Molly said: “Last night feels like a really weird bad dream and I need to tell you guys about it because I need to share.
“I was actually going to go on my Instagram stories and like share but I thought, 'Oh no this is out of my comfort zone for Instagram.'”
The former PrettyLittleThing creative director explained that after arriving back in the UK, she had very little movement for two days - first due to the long-haul flight, then sitting through a seven-hour hair appointment.
That, paired with dehydration and stress from travelling with her daughter Bambi, two, led to severe pain in her left leg.
She said: "Basically yesterday I thought I had a blood clot and half of today I thought I had a blood clot in my leg.
"Obviously flying home from Dubai I was on the plane for like nearly eight hours… I didn't drink like hardly any water. You know when you're in mum mode and you're just not really thinking like you're trying to tame your child.”
After feeling excruciating pain in the back of her knee that moved into her calf and foot, Molly began to panic.
She turned to ChatGPT to check her symptoms, which only made her more anxious.
Molly then phoned 111 and was told by a doctor to go straight to A&E.
She continued: “I was in so much pain, like it was in the back of my knee, so so strong. Like it didn't feel like a dead leg, it was like a sharp stabbing pain… Then it's moving down into my calf, into my ankle, into my foot, like my whole calf is just in so much pain.”
The reality star described the hospital as “absolutely packed” and “such a sad environment”, saying she waited four hours before being told it would be another hour for a blood test - and then three more hours to get results.
Despite advice from staff to stay, Molly decided to leave, worried about getting home in time to look after Bambi.
She said: “I need to leave. Like I can't stay here any longer… We had like nothing with us this morning.”
Molly admitted that when she woke up the next day, the pain had mostly subsided, and she tried to carry on as normal - until she was hit with a wave of dizziness, nausea, and shortness of breath later that afternoon.
She described: “I had this awful awful like dizzy spell where the room was spinning. I thought I was going to vomit… I had this really really funny time where I was like I couldn't breathe properly… almost like a bit of a panic attack but like it was just horrible.”
Molly went back to hospital and underwent a full round of tests. Thankfully, everything came back clear.
She added: “They said that I'm completely fine, like all my vitals… my heart rate, blood test, everything was absolutely fine. Like there was nothing that showed them any sort of concern or anything about a blood clot.”
Reflecting on the experience, Molly stressed the importance of taking blood clot symptoms seriously, even in young and seemingly healthy people.
She said: “I just thought like it needs to be taken so much more seriously because like it can happen to anyone at any age… Maybe I had one, maybe I didn't. Sometimes I read that blood clots can disperse by themselves and it's not always going to be sinister.”
The influencer ended the video with a message for her fans, saying: “Things like that can just happen out of nowhere. And I was convinced that I definitely had one. But the doctors like checked me over fully and they think I'm absolutely fine.”
In images published Thursday, Molly and Tommy were spotted "arguing" as they returned to the UK.
The couple were spotted having a barney at Manchester Airport, with Molly looking miserable and Tommy also appearing downcast.
A source told The Sun at the time: "Molly and Tommy had the most perfect holiday but yet again as soon as they landed back in the UK, it was back to reality.
“Last time they arrived home Tommy was slammed for not helping Molly with the bags and she was desperate for that not to happen again.
“Molly is really keen for people to see everything is great between them after so many concerns - especially from her sister Zoe.
“But Tommy couldn’t care less and could be heard telling her ‘who gives a f***’ as they argued about who would take the bags.
“Tommy was really hurrying her along and she was getting very stressed - people in the airport were really surprised to see them bickering so openly.”
But another source insisted that Molly and Tommy were simply exhausted from their flight and wanted to get home as quickly as possible.
They said: "The pair were tired after a long haul flight and weren't expecting to see so many photographers there.
"They weren't arguing, they were just trying to leave the airport safely with their little girl."
The Sun exclusively revealed the couple's holiday this week after the pair confirmed they were giving their love another go on her Amazon Prime show, Behind It All.
During the trip, Molly shared a raft of snaps of her and the couple's daughter Bambi but appeared to keep Tommy out of sight for many of her uploads.
She captured scenes showing her and her two-year-old enjoying a cuddle outside an ice cream parlour before they struck a look-a-like pose on the beach.
