She reflected on their time together saying: "We were together for five years and it is very very sad. Let's hope we can move forward because I have so many exciting things coming up."
Molly-Mae also thanked her fans for their unwavering support: "Thank you for the support and patience and love. I have read so many messages and you guys are the best. This is a process and pressing on is step one and this is definitely the right way for me to process this."
Situation had been 'blown out of proportion'
She touched on how the situation has been exaggerated in the media, hinting at the intensity of public scrutiny, reports the Mirror. Earlier in the video, Molly-Mae shared fears that the entire break-up had been "blown out of proportions".
She shared how she's been dealing with the stress saying: "My coping mechanism for the last couple of weeks is talking to the people that I love and are so close to me and have been so incredible through this time and then coming on here and pushing forward."
The star continued, describing her feelings about the escalated situation: "It's just not nice and I feel everything has been blown way out of proportion and it has all got a bit carried away with itself and I think the last thing I want to do is fuel that fire and stir that pot when it doesn't need to be stirred." Grateful for the massive support, she also thanked her fans "from the bottom of my heart" for standing by her these past few weeks.
Break-up has taken a 'toll on her health'
On a personal note, Molly-Mae revealed the physical impact the break-up has had on her wellbeing. Although she chose not to disclose too much, she did open up about how her health has suffered, experiencing breakouts of spots and rashes due to the distress.
Signing off, she remarked on the noticeable impact on her skin from the ordeal, "The stress I'd say of the last few weeks has made my skin do things it's actually never done before.".
"I've been dealing with rashes, spots, blackheads. I squeezed a blackhead out of here the other day and a literal wiggly worm came out of it. I think I had an actual parasite in my face. That's disgusting, but yeah all kinds of things have been coming out my skin recently." The star also admitted to feeling 'run down' with a cold in the vlog.
Bambi's reaction
Molly-Mae shared that her little one, Bambi, has been 'crying her eyes out' following her recent split from fiance Tommy. She opened up about how her daughter has been coping with the changes in her life.
The influencer revealed: "It's scary. I literally can't go to the toilet or leave the room or do anything without her crying her eyes out which is not really ideal. I think she's kind of having attachment issues at the minute."
Molly-Mae sadly confessed that her daughter is aware there have been significant changes at home, adding: "I think she can definitely sense that obviously there are changes and things are strange at the minute."
"I can really feel that she can sense that which is very interesting considering she's just a baby. I feel like, they're not stupid, they can really pick up on things. I also think that she weed on the sofa this morning just when I started filming this, I looked down and there was a big wet patch in front of me literally where she was sitting. She was wearing a nappy so I'm not quite sure how that's happened."
No privacy
In the video, Molly-Mae revealed she'd been trying to deal with the split 'as privately as they can' although she 'hasn't been able to get away from it'.
The Love Island star confessed in the revealing clip: "I don't really ever plan on talking about the past couple of weeks. That's not something I feel comfortable with. This is real life. It's not drama, it's not tea or a publicity stunt.
"This is real life. It's very sad and it's very deep. It doesn't feel right for me to come on here to talk about it. I haven't made a plan whatsoever about what I want to say," she said at the start of the video.
She continued: "The last two weeks have been very, very real. It's real life, something that we have been going through as privately as we can, but obviously not privately whatsoever because I haven't really been able to get away from it."
