Molly-Mae Hague could barely keep the smile off her face on Saturday as she was seen for the first time since the release of her new documentary, Behind It All.

Fans were left fans in 'tears' as they praised her for showing her 'real' and 'vulnerable' side in her Amazon Prime show, which hit screens on Friday.

And amid the positive feedback from fans - though not so much from critics - Molly-Mae beamed from ear-to-ear as she stepped out for a casual outing.

The influencer, 25, wrapped her arms around herself amid the chilly January day, while bundling up in a brown leather jacket.

She teamed this with a dropped black hoodie, black joggers and white trainers, while sweeping her blonde locks into a high ponytail. 

The star looked happy and relaxed, no doubt also due to the news that her show had hit number one on Amazon Prime, according to her manager Fran.

She said: 'I just think it's bizarre that anyone would think it's a publicity stunt, I wish it was a publicity stunt, because that would be a lot easier, that would mean my relationship's actually fine, but it's not.'

She admitted the timing of the breakup was inconvenient rather than opportunistic as it took the shock news took attention away from launching her brand Maebe. 

While in a conversation with her sister Zoe Rae, the influencer candidly admitted 'all she wants in this life is to be with him and have another baby' so they can 'grow old as a family'.

Meanwhile, there multiple instances in the documentary where it was suggested that Molly-Mae's family aren't very keen on her ex-fiancé.

Speaking to the camera, her mother Debbie said: 'I'm very fond of Tommy. He looked after Molly, made her laugh, treated her well for a long time. That outweighed the not so great stuff going on. 

'She was going to through the turmoil of a break up and the heartbreak but moving forward she wouldn't have endlessly nights worrying'

Debbie then tells Molly: 'Can I be honest? Over the years there were so many occasions that I witnessed myself that made me beyond worried for you.'

Meanwhile sister Zoe said: 'The last two months you've been happier and nicer to be around because you've not got the stressors that come along with being with him.' 

She later admitted: 'Mine and Tommy's relationship was very very turbulent, we definitely butted heads a fair few times about him going out and me being protective with Molly. 

'He was great with Bambi but he wasn't at the time being a great partner and I think that's what she potentially couldn't see'. 

Molly-Mae Hague - Behind It All: What are the critics saying?

The Guardian

Rating:

'Much like The Masked Singer, though, you could skip the first two-thirds of any episode and still see all the bits you need to see'.

'“I wanna know what Molly-Mae gets at McDonald’s,” says a director, off-screen. Reader, we find out. She loves pyjamas – “a sacred part of life” – and is embarrassed to open a drawer full of belts that does not please her on an aesthetic level'.

'This series makes it look as if she is being less guarded, but when you play closer attention, I am not sure how true that is'.

The Evening Standard

Rating:

'Layering stressful music over footage of Molly-Mae fussing over candle sizes at a fashion pop-up doesn’t evoke a sense of peril so much as farce. It’s all so overdone to the point it feels like Amazon ordered a drop shipped version of a celebrity documentary'.

'Attempts at weaving together narrative arcs for each episode are flimsy at best. The documentary was, it claims, initially covering the run-up to Molly-Mae and Fury’s wedding and forced to volte-face when the couple called it off'.

'But any actually revealing footage of the fall-out seems to have ended up on the cutting room floor – or locked up in a vault to preserve the fairytale-redux ending the on-off couple seem to be teasing – and which may well come in the final three episodes that will stream in the spring'.

The Independent

Rating:

'Just like Hague, the series is polished and clean. It’s more comparable to American documentaries on Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift, say, than the playful, rough-and-ready British reality shows on the likes of Katie Price or Gemma Collins'. 

'Behind It All goes some way to deliver its promise of revealing the intimate life behind the persona – but it could’ve gone further. There are another three episodes to follow in the spring, but you get the sense that they’ve got all the breakup stuff out of the way first'. 

The Times

Rating:

'I expected it to be polished, bland mulch, and I was right. Partly' 

'[Tommy Fury's alcohol problem] felt to be the only “authentic” part of this series (three episodes are currently available) and I use the word sparingly because, like everything else, it was all still glossily managed'. 

 '“I don’t have another night in me, lying in bed being upset,” she said, and I felt very sorry for her here. It was a heartfelt statement. I wish there had been more of them. She denied it had been a publicity stunt (I believed her). She ended the relationship, she said, because he gave her no choice. “He wanted a family life but also the life of a 25-year-old boy with no responsibilities.”'

The Telegraph

Rating:

'Thanks to Amazon’s billions and Hague’s clout, Behind It All is slick and well-made; you can’t help but let out a giggle at the overly dramatic score, which lends each of Hague’s day-to-day stresses – controversy over Maebe’s dodgy fabric, Bambi throwing a tantrum over beans on toast – the OTT heft of a Hollywood epic'. 

'But the first three episodes suffer from their emphasis on clothes – nobody tuning in wants to hear Hague wax lyrical about mass-produced grey blazers and denim jeans. We’re here for the Tommy gossip: what did he do, and will they get back together?'

'A teaser for the next instalment promises to be juicier, touching on their much-discussed New Year’s Eve kiss as well as Hague’s battles with body-image, and her decision to dissolve her face filler'.
