The exes, who split in August, reunited this week to take their daughter Bambi, 23 months, to a soft play venue.

Photographed on their family outing, Molly-Mae was seen walking in front of Tommy who was holding Bambi in his arms.

Molly-Mae explained how she woke up and scrolled on TikTok before coming across some quite unsavoury comments that she didn’t appreciate in regards to the snap.

She told viewers how she and ex Tommy took their daughter Bambi to a soft play together “which was actually a really lovely thing to do”

“And I was looking at the comments because naturally you go to the comments section,” she said, “And what killed me was that people are more concerned about how ‘large’ I looked.”

She then revealed that the top ‘liked’ comment was about her weight, adding: “And I was like ‘oh, okay’, and normally, things don’t really bother me, I don’t know why it bothered me.”

“But, I read it and I was like ‘um’, I think because I was already feeling a bit sensitive this week as to my appearance and I was just feeling a little bit…”

The former Love Islander then said that people on TikTok always come up with some really “innovative things to say”.

“I’m like, do you know what? Creative, I like it,” she said of the harsh comments.

‘FEELING SENSITIVE’

“But, I read it and I was like ‘um’, I think because I was already feeling a bit sensitive this week as to my appearance and I was just feeling a little bit thingy about it.

“Even today I was just like ‘ugh I just don’t feel my nicest’ and then when I saw that.

“I’m really glad that took priority over co-parenting news, and us being seen out together but also, it is a little bit confidence-knocking.”

Molly-Mae then said that if she hadn’t already been feeling sensitive about the way she looked, she “wouldn’t have cared” about the comments.

She then expressed her sensitive feelings about her appearance because “it’s December” and “it’s bulking season”.

NOT FOCUSING ON NEGATIVITY

She then expressed how she didn’t want to focus on negativity and never usually does, adding: “If I do let it get to me, I keep that to myself, but when I woke up.

“And I think I was already a little bit delirious from my power nap, and probably because I had a sausage sandwich for breakfast.

“I was like ‘um’, not that there’s anything wrong with a sausage sandwich for breakfast but I just felt a little bit like, I don’t know, anyway, moving on.”

Molly-Mae then continued her vlog, with the blonde beauty looking bare-faced and makeup-free for the first part of it.

SPLIT FROM TOMMY

Molly shares her daughter Bambi, who turns two next month, with her ex fiancé Tommy, 25.

The couple, who met on the 2019 series of Love Island, confirmed their shock split in August this year.

Molly and Tommy’s split was plagued by rumours of infidelity on Tommy’s part, but they are allegations he has always strongly denied.

FANS of Paul McCartney have been left stunned after spotting Ringo Starr and other Hollywood A-listers at his show.

The former Beatles star has brought his acclaimed tour Got Back to the O2 in London for just two nights.

But as fans piled into the arena for the 82-year-old’s second gig tonight they were stunned to spot Sir Ringo Starr.

He was snapped arriving and sitting down in the VIP section in North Greenwich to watch his former bandmate perform.

Sir Ringo, 84, was dressed in black as he wore his trademark black shades while smiling at stunned concert-goers.

Let It Be singer Paul‘s proud son James McCartney, 47, was also spotted in attendance.

During the show viewers were treated to Sir Paul and Ronnie Wood performing Get Back together.

Hollywood’s biggest stars also descended to hear Sir Paul perform his biggest hits from his own successful solo career and The Beatles’ catalogue.

Taking to social media, fans shared snaps with George Clooney, Judi Dench, Martin Freeman and Professor Brian Cox.

Earlier this week The Sun reviewed Sir Paul’s tour as he performed in Manchester.

“I’ve a feeling we are going to have fun tonight,” cheered Sir Paul McCartney as he greeted the capacity crowds at Manchester‘s Co-op Live Arena.

“Alright Manchester,” he chipped, “it’s good to be back.”

It was a show filled with fireworks – literally, snow – albeit the paper kind, and a tear-jerking performance of I’ve Got A Feeling with an AI version of his late The Beatles bandmate, John Lennon.

The icon, in one of a handful touching moments on-stage, fought back tears as he hailed it “great, because I get to sing with John again.”

THE mother of a transgender teenager has won the right to appeal against their access to hormone treatment off an online gender clinic.

The 16-year-old, called Q in the court documents, and referred to as “he”, was born a girl but told his parents in 2020 of a wish to identify as a boy.

After an acrimonious divorce, he went to live with his dad who was supportive of his desire to access treatment through a controversial clinic.

A previous judge made the father promise to the court he would not fund or facilitate hormone treatment at the Singapore-based Gender GP while the child is still a minor.

The clinic had been slammed after Dr Hilary Cass’s landmark report into transgender healthcare published earlier this year.

The parents then agreed to allow Q to undergo a six-month assessment by UK-based online Gender Plus clinic instead.

However, the court would still have had the final say on whether Q could receive treatment even if the clinic recommended the child have it.

In the meantime, an emergency ban on puberty blockers for children, introduced after the Cass review, was made indefinite.

The dad then won a ruling to dismiss the case altogether, removing any intervention from the court.

But the mum went to the High Court to seek right of appeal.

Yesterday, its judgment revealed that Sir Geoffrey Vos, Master of the Rolls, ruled the mother can appeal the decision to dismiss the case.

Sir Geoffrey said there is “sufficient current doubt as to what is proper and appropriate in this area”.

The judgment highlights an NHS England letter sent to health service gender dysphoria clinics in April, asking them to defer offering first appointments to those under 18.

Sir Geoffrey said: “The judge was wrong to refuse to adjourn the mother’s application in the unusual circumstances of this case.

“The judge did not place enough weight on the rapidly changing regulatory environment.”

The case was adjourned until the completion of Child Q’s assessment by Gender Plus, which will then be considered by the court.

HAKIM ZIYECH has declared he will leave Galatasaray in January after insisting he “does not want” to play for the club.

The attacking midfielder joined the Turkish side on loan from Chelsea in 2023 before the switch was made permanent in the summer.

Ziyech, 31, impressed in his first season at Galatasaray as he scored eight goals in only 23 appearances.

However, he has seen his game time limited this season with as he has only featured 11 times this season.

The Morocco international has now hit out at manager Okan Buruk.

He has claimed that the coach is at a level so “low” that Ziyech has not experienced before.

The midfielder has gone on insist that he will leave the club in the January transfer window.

Furthermore, he has claimed that he “regrets” making the move to the club in the first place.

He said: “Galatasaray is over for me. I don’t want to play here anymore. I’m leaving in January.

“I’ve never seen a coach of such a low level.

“I don’t care that much [if joining Galatasaray was a mistake].

“I want to be left alone, no matter what happens. I regret coming here.”

Ziyech had been at Chelsea for four seasons prior to his move to Turkey.

During his time at Stamford Bridge, he only managed six goals in 64 Premier League appearances.

However, he was a part of the squad that won the Champions League under Thomas Tuchel in 2021.

Meanwhile, this season Galatasaray are leading the Turkish Super Lig by six points.

The Istanbul-based side has won 13 of their 15 league matches and are yet to suffer a defeat.

THE draw for the Carabao Cup semi-final has concluded – and some blockbuster ties are coming up in the new year.

Arsenal were first out of the hat as they landed a tough clash against trophy chasers Newcastle.

While Premier League leaders Liverpool take on Tottenham in the standout Carabao Cup semi-final match.

THE Carabao Cup semi-final draw has been made with Tottenham Hotspur dealt a tricky tie against Liverpool.

Spurs will have to topple the league leaders, while north London neighbours Arsenal will face Newcastle in the other tie.

Arsenal will feel they have been given the kindest draw possible, while Spurs face a tough test against Liverpool.

The tie also means that there’s a possibility of a North London derby final should both Arsenal and Spurs win their ties.

Spurs will certainly have their work cut out for them against a high-flying Liverpool side.

Arne Slot‘s team, the current Carabao Cup holders, booked their place in the last four with a tricky victory at Southampton last night.

Despite Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott‘s first-half goals, the Reds made it hard work for themselves in the second period, with manager-less Saints unlucky not to draw level after Cameron Archer pulled one back.

Arsenal dumped Crystal Palace out on Wednesday night, with a sublime Gabriel Jesus hat-trick completing an impressive turnaround in a 3-2 win.

Jean-Philippe Mateta had netted an early opener, but the Brazilian’s treble ultimately proved decisive, even if a late Eddie Nketiah consolation did make for a nervy ending.

Newcastle, meanwhile, edged one step closer to their first domestic trophy in nearly 70 YEARS by dumping Brentford out.

Sandro Tonali ran the show at St James’ Park with a first-half double, but the Toon Army’s celebrations were slightly overshadowed by concerns for Joelinton.

The Brazilian midfielder needed hospital treatment after being on the wrong end of a nasty challenge.

Bees star Nathan Collins struck Joelinton with an elbow, and caught the Newcastle man’s head with his studs as he fell back to the ground.

Tottenham completed the semi-final line-up by comfortably dispatching of Man Utd in arguably the game of the round at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A Dominic Solanke brace either side of a Dejan Kulusevski goal set the wheels in motion, before those same wheels dramatically fell off.

Fraser Forster committed two goalkeeping howlers to gift Ruben Amorim‘s side a lifeline, before fellow understudy Altay Bayindir let Son Heung-min score directly from a corner.

Jonny Evans’ late goal was not enough as Man Utd were sent home empty-handed.

The Carabao Cup semi-final first legs will take place in the week commencing January 6th 2025, with the second legs to follow in the week beginning February 3rd.

The final will take place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday March 16th.

"She would need to clean up her act [for Bravo] to move forward with her," a source exclusively tells Page Six.

THE grandfather of a missing toddler has been arrested three months after the child disappeared, following a fatal crash that left their dad and sister dead.

John Elton Bailey has been charged with failure to report a missing child over the disappearance of his grandson Khaleb Rowan Collins.

The crash also killed Khaleb’s sister[/caption]

Bailey was arrested on December 11, three days after a deadly car crash that killed his two-year-old granddaughter and her father, Steven Collins.

Wendy Bailey, his daughter, was critically hurt in the crash in Fayette County, Alabama.

Collins was driving at 92 miles per hour when he crashed into a tree, killing himself and his daughter, on December 8 at 10.24 am.

A responding State Trooper noted that the road was wet at the time and that Collins “was unable to operate his vehicle safely.”

The force of the crash threw Collins out of the truck while his daughter, who was sat in the backseat without a seatbelt, “sustained fatal injuries during the crash.”

Wendy Bailey was seated in the front passenger seat and was slightly ejected from the driver’s door, according to police records.

Now, in a further twist to the case, court records have accused Wendy’s father, John Elton Bailey, of failing to report a missing child.

The documents allege that Khaleb was last seen over three months ago, on September 4.

A criminal complaint states Bailey “failed to report a missing child by delaying to make or failing to cause to be made the report with willful and reckless disregard for the safety of the child and the child suffered serious bodily harm or death.”

Bailey was arrested on December 11 and remains held in the Fayette County Jail on $100,000 bond.

On Tuesday, December 17, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency issued a missing alert for Khaleb.

John and Wendy Bailey lived together in Winfield, Alabama.

Fayette County sheriff’s officials did not respond immediately to The U.S. Sun’s requests for comment.

AN EMPLOYEE who spent nearly a decade working at American Auto Parts has been appointed as the CEO of Dollar Tree.

Michael C. Creedon, Jr. joined Dollar Tree in 2022 as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and has since taken on various leadership roles including Interim CEO.

Michael was given the permanent role today and now he has full-time responsibility for leading more than 200,000 associates and more than 16,000 stores.

He said of his promotion: “It’s a privilege to lead Dollar Tree at such a pivotal time.

“My focus will continue to be on delivering long-term value to our associates, customers, and shareholders as a company that is rooted in strong values and operational excellence.

“I am thrilled and humbled to step into this leadership role as we remain focused on unlocking the enterprise’s full potential.”

Edward (Ned) J. Kelly, III, Chairman of the Board, expressed his full faith in the new appointment, commenting: “Following a search, we are unanimous as a Board in our belief that Mike is the right leader for Dollar Tree.

“His deep understanding of the business, coupled with his strategic vision and collaborative leadership, has earned the trust and respect of the entire organization.

“We have full confidence in Mike’s ability to guide the enterprise to growth and success.”

Michael is a highly decorated leader, having previously served in executive positions with Tyco International and ADT Security.

He also spent nearly a decade at Advance Auto Parts where he held several leadership positions.

Michael holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from Middlebury College.

ADVANCE AUTO PARTS TROUBLE

It has been reported that Michael’s previous employer, Advance Auto Parts, is currently battling economic setbacks.

The company announced in November that it plans to close hundreds of stores, four distribution centers and slash jobs amid the sluggish demand for vehicle parts.

The car part supplier’s gross profit increased 11 per cent in the third quarter this year compared to the nearly 37 per cent increase in last year’s third quarter.

Executives said the drop in profits will force the closure of more than 700 locations by the middle of 2025.

Shane O’Kelly, president and chief executive officer, reassured that a path is being paved despite issues, saying: “We are pleased to have made progress on our strategic actions, including the completion of the sale of Worldpac and a comprehensive operational productivity review of our business.

“We are charting a clear path forward and introducing a new three-year financial plan, with a focus on executing core retail fundamentals to improve the productivity of all our assets and to create shareholder value.”

Advance Auto Parts operates more than 4,700 stores in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

According to its website, the company also serves 1,125 independently owned Carquest-branded stores across these locations, in addition to Mexico and some Caribbean islands.

A LEADING marketing expert has called out influencers who had been tricking shoppers into buying unnecessary products online.

Mara Einstein, who was featured in a new Netflix documentary released this month exposing the dark arts used by major brands, branded Brittany Dawn the “worst of the worst” among content creators misleading their audience.

Dawn faced a lawsuit from the state of Texas who sued her for violating consumer protection laws and failing to deliver personalized fitness and nutrition plans for her customers.

The fitness influencer admitted wrongdoing two weeks before the trial was set to begin, reaching a $400,000 settlement deal.

Dawn rose to prominence online in 2019 as an online fitness instructor in Texas by claiming to create personalized fitness and nutrition plans for her customers.

However, her clients claimed they had been all sold the same fitness and diet plan rather than one specific to their dietary needs.

In the lawsuit, plaintiffs alleged the plans she sold were “not individualized,” accusing her of misleading customers by not delivering on the plans.

Davis has close to 500,000 Instagram followers and 1.3 million on TikTok. She built her following by posting fitness and health content and sharing how she overcame an eating disorder.

Einstein said Dawn’s story is emblematic of how the internet is rife with online influencers selling products to consumers they don’t need or misleading clients. 

Einstein said Dawn was called out for the mess after her clients worked it out in a private Facebook page.

She is the worst of the worst

Mara EinsteinDeceptive marketing expert and author

“It wasn’t personalized, it wasn’t personalized at all, and she was called out for it and it became a big brouhaha and she had a whole crying thing on YouTube.

“She was on Good Morning America and was ultimately sued by the state of Texas.”

Einstein is a New York based marketing expert and author of Hoodwinked, helping people protect themselves against deceptive and coercive strategies used by some of the world’s biggest companies. 

She was featured in Netflix’s new documentary Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy, revealing the tricks and covert strategies brands use to keep consumers locked in an endless cycle of product purchases.

Einstein said Dawn later pivoted to becoming a Christian influencer, which she said was “not uncommon because it becomes a way to say I’ve been redeemed.”

“I can come back from the mistakes I’ve made and so on. It also opens up a new audience for you,” Einstein said.

Einstein noted Dawn’s story tells a good example of consumerist culture and how people often tie their values to things they can buy.

“I think it’s a key thing for people to think about because people haven’t stopped believing; they want to believe in something, but what it is they are finding less and less good honest things to put their faith in, and it becomes very difficult in a social media space that has no regulation on it, or it is owned by billionaires whose only north star is to make more money.”

Dawn did not respond to requests for comment by The U.S. Sun by deadline.

BEWARE OF AMAZON, WALMART

In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, Einstein also urged shoppers to be aware of retail giants, including Walmart, Amazon, and Target, using tactics to lure shoppers into buying products they don’t need.

Einstein explained how companies prey on people’s emotions to get them to buy things they don’t need.

She said this includes using before and after photos and creating a sense of false community through cult-like brands. 

Using the example of before and after photos, Einstein said brands deliberately prey on shoppers’ vulnerabilities. 

“Marketers use the same tactics as cults, and one of the key tactics is to recruit people when they are vulnerable,” she warned.

“Advertisers do before and after photos … my hair looks terrible, my face is breaking out, whatever it is, use my product and you will feel better.

“Nine times out of ten, the product doesn’t help, but you’ve tapped into people’s vulnerabilities and the hope that their life will be better or if I use this product, my life will somehow improve.

“The idea that no advertiser is going to tell you that you are okay exactly the way you are, because if you did that, then you’d never go out and buy their product.”
