Love Island fans fume as Molly Marsh ‘copies’ Molly-Mae Hague by wearing ‘identical’ outfit and imitating signature move
THEY say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery – tell that to Molly-Mae Hague fans.
Many have accused current Love Island contestant Molly Marsh of copying the 24-year-old influencer, who finished runner-up in series five.
And it does seem the two blonde bombshells have a lot more in common than just their name – from their chic sense of style to quirky characteristics.
They even have the same type when it comes to men – tall, hunky and sporty.
Molly, 21, is currently coupled up with basketball player Zachariah Noble, 25 – and has claimed she once dated Molly-Mae’s boyfriend, boxer Tommy Fury.
Here we take a look at all the times Molly channelled Molly-Mae in the villa.
Twinning style
Before she even entered the villa, Molly appeared to be channelling Molly-Mae’s energy by striking an identical pose in her promotional shots for the show.
Wearing a similar pink bikini, grinning Molly stood with her hands on her hips, jutting her left leg slightly forward.
In last night’s show Molly styled her locks in braided plaits – a hairdo often worn by Molly-Mae in the villa.
And Molly’s evening wardrobe has featured a range of suit-chic blazer dresses – one of which was near-identical to a blue outfit worn by Molly-Mae.
Power pout
Everyone knew Molly-Mae meant business when she strutted into the villa wearing bold red lipstick.
Her statement pout was accompanied by pared back eye make-up, and her icy blonde hair styled in loose waves.
While Molly is an OG Islander, she appeared to channel Molly-Mae’s bombshell energy by turning up to the villa in vibrant red lippy and a similar hair do.
Cuddly companions
Ever since Molly-Mae infamously brought her elephant toy Ellie Belly into the villa, many other girls have followed suit.
In week one, Molly revealed her cuddly toy called Plop to Mitch as they got into bed.
Several fans took to Twitter, with one accusing Molly of “studying the Molly-Mae Love Island playbook intensely”.
Another wrote: “The stuffed teddy thing is cringe now. Let’s leave it to the Molly-Mae season.”
Copycat expressions
Molly-Mae’s infamous eye-pop expression during a shock re-coupling became an instant meme.
And last week Molly pulled a similar expression when new girl Charlotte stole her man.
On hearing the news the bombshell had chosen to couple up with Zach, Molly’s eyes bulged – giving fans some serious deja-vu.
Signature spy move
When Leah and Charlotte entered the villa last week, it really set the cat amongst the pigeons.
They chose Zach, Tyrique and Molly’s former flame Mitchel to prepare them a three-course meal.
The girls were forced to nervously watch from the terrace while the bombshells made their move.
Molly looked particularly tense as she peered through the plants, watching Zach’s every move.
Many fans pointed out her spy tactics reminded them of the memorable moment Molly-Mae hid behind a bush to spy on Tommy and bombshell Maura Higgins.
