Molly-Mae Hague has opened up about how she has changed as a person since she first shot to fame in Love Island in 2019.

The influencer, 24, shared a new YouTube video this week, where she got candid about how she wants 'different things' in life and feels she's 'not been myself'.

She first achieved stardom four years ago, after she appeared on the fifth series of Love Island, coming second place with her now-fiancé Tommy Fury.

Molly-Mae admitted that in the following four years she has been changing gradually and says she 'fell off mentally' while growing up, establishing her career and giving birth to her daughter Bambi, eight months.

Addressing her followers, she began: 'At the minute, I'm having a midlife crisis. And the fact that solidifies that I'm having a midlife crisis is that I'm sat here with a colouring book and colouring pens.

Changed: The 24-year-old influencer shared a new YouTube video this week, where she got candid about how she wants 'different things' in life and feels she's 'not been myself'

'I need an activity that's not scrolling on my phone. I need something where my brain is not being active. I think colouring is the perfect thing for that.

'I just feel like I really fell off mentally. I've been falling off physically since having Bambi really. 

'Mentally, physically, emotionally I just feel like I've been on another planet and I can't even put my finger on why. I've just not been myself I don't know why.'

Molly-Mae continued: 'Sometimes I come on my videos and I'm like, "I'm in such a good place, I'm thriving!" 

'And the vlog after that I'm like, "I'm in such a bad place, I feel so sad, I can't stop crying". That's me, and I think that's potentially being a woman, being a human. 

'I feel like recently I've become a different person and I don't think its happened overnight. I think gradually as I've been growing up and over the last four and a half years of having the career I do now. 

'I'm just changing and I want different things. Do you ever just feel like you don't align with where you're at and you suddenly want to change everything about your life? 

'You want to change the way you look, you want to change your work, you want to change what you're doing day to day, you want to change your routine, the way you eat, the way you work out - like literally you want to change everything.

Huge: Elsewhere in the vlog, Molly-Mae discussed dealing with Tommy, 24, being away at training camp, as he gears up to fight his rival KSI at the AO Arena in Manchester on October 14 (Tommy and KSI pictured in August)

'That is where I'm at right now. I just feel like it's such a transitional moment in my life and I'm so excited.'

She then teased that she was currently working on a huge new project behind-the-scenes, saying it was the biggest thing she's done in her career, but that she couldn't yet reveal it.

She said: 'I'm working on something that is the most exciting thing in my entire career. It doesn't even compare to anything I've done before. I feel sad I can't talk about it.'

Elsewhere in the vlog, Molly-Mae discussed dealing with Tommy, 24, being away at training camp, as he gears up to fight his rival KSI at the AO Arena in Manchester on October 14.

She admitted that being separated for so long was hard and voiced her nerves about the fight, saying she 'was trying really hard not to think about it'.

But she added: 'It's week eight or nine of us not living together and only seeing each other at the weekends. 

'I'm very ready for some normality now, I always find at the end we both get to the point that we've had enough and it's a very hard environment for him.'

Molly-Mae has previously made no secret of her dislike of watching Tommy in the ring and stayed away from the TV during his fight with Jake Paul in February.

Smackdown: Molly-Mae has previously made no secret of her dislike of watching Tommy in the ring and stayed away from the TV during his fight with Jake Paul in February 

While she sweetly broke down in tears upon hearing of his win at the time, she couldn't bear to actually watch Tommy in the ring.

She stayed in the UK with Bambi, who was born just weeks earlier, while Tommy jetted off for his much-anticipated showdown with Jake. 

But she didn't watch the fight on TV, with her sister Zoe sharing a clip of her taking shelter in her bedroom while her family and friends watched the clash.

Speaking last year after watching Tommy fight Daniel Bocianski, Molly-Mae admitted she finds it 'horrible' watching her partner get punched in the ring. 

'I don't actually watch him – I watch the screen, that's my way of dealing with it,' she told BT Sport at the time.

'To watch him in the flesh, it feels much harder. I watch him on the screen and that relieves a little bit of the stress, but I have got nail marks on my arm where they have been digging in.'

'It's just horrible. I would not wish it on my worst enemy honestly. The fear of watching your person in the ring is not nice. It really isn't,' she added.

Tommy recently praised Molly-Mae for supporting his career despite her 'hating' the sport and revealed she only 'tolerates' boxing because it makes him happy.

Tough watch: Tommy admitted he understands how difficult it must be for Molly-Mae to watch him getting punched in the ring

He said on BBC Breakfast: 'She watches the ground while I fight. She only tolerates boxing because she knows how happy it makes me. That's it. 

'Other than that she hates it. She doesn't like talking about it, she doesn't like watching it, nothing, which I can understand.'

Tommy admitted he understands how difficult it must be for Molly-Mae to watch him getting punched in the ring. 

'She's watching her partner, the father to her baby, getting in the ring, have a fight and get punched up,' he went on.

'It's not a nice feeling to go through so I commend her, I do.'
