Molly-Mae Hague has opened up about the burglary that took place in the home she shared with boyfriend Tommy Fury for the first time.
While the couple were attending an event in London last month, their rented apartment in Manchester was targeted by professional thieves, and £800k worth of items were stolen.
In an emotional new YouTube video uploaded on Monday, the Love Island star broke down in tears as she spoke about the incident, which she described as “one of the worst things that’s ever happened to me”.
The 22-year-old said: “Basically, Tommy and I were robbed a couple of weeks ago now and it was without a doubt the worst thing that’s ever happened to me – to us I’d probably say for him. And it was just awful, horrendous, terrible. So we’ve been dealing with a lot.”
“Our apartment was robbed, ransacked, emptied, you name it. I’m sure you guys have read, but basically, what they said in the articles is true, they took everything and we were left with not a lot of stuff at all.”
“I have been dealing with emotions that I wouldn’t think I’d have dealt with during a time like this – one of them being guilt, which I never thought if I was ever to be robbed I would feel guilty for being robbed.”
“But, I think seeing lot of the things on social media and seeing people’s opinions on why we got robbed, I started to feel like: ‘Was this my fault, did I share too much, did I do the wrong thing?’ And I think, on reflection, now I mean – it’s another thing I want to talk about in this video is how things are going to have to change now.”
The reality star warned that “karma will come for the people that did it”, and branded the thieves as “evil”.
Breaking down in tears after revealing she and Tommy have since moved home, Molly-Mae said: “Honestly, I have never understood someone to have an emotional connection with an apartment, it’s so strange.”
“The saddest thing about all of this… I don’t know why I’m getting upset because I was fine going into this video but when I speak about the apartment and moving out of it, that is the saddest part of this whole situation for me.”
“It’s not the things that were taken, it’s not feeling violated of our space, it is literally the sole fact that we had to leave out apartment like that. That will never get any easier for me because that apartment was literally my happy place.”
The influencer continued: “We were absolutely forced out, we couldn’t stay there anymore. Too many people knew where we lived. How can I sleep there at night if ever Tommy goes away? It wouldn’t be possible.”
When asked whether fans will be giving a tour of her and Tommy’s new flat, Molly-Mae replied: “Unfortunately no. I have to be 20 billion times more careful now about the things I’m sharing, the things I’m talking about.”
“For mine and Tommy’s safety I just can’t risk that anymore.”
