Molly-Mae's Amazon Prime series is a break-up doc but she won't admit it

Molly-Mae Hague's Amazon Prime series is being touted as more than just a 'break-up documentary' - but after viewing the initial three episodes, I can't think of a better way to describe it.

As a die-hard Love Island enthusiast - I've been hooked since season four - I was over the moon to discover that the social media star would be making an unfiltered return to our screens.

In contrast to her glossy villa persona, Molly-Mae: Behind It All offers fans a genuine glimpse into her everyday life, from the challenges of motherhood to her relatable McDonald's order. At the documentary's launch, the 25-year-old celeb disclosed that audiences would be taken aback by the intimacy of the six-part series.

She wasn't wrong, and I was pleasantly surprised by her openness throughout the programme.

However, she was also insistent that this is not simply a 'break-up documentary' - and I beg to differ.

"Obviously, we do talk about the break-up and it [the documentary] does discuss the break-up and we're very honest in what we share about the break-up. But it's so much more than a break-up documentary, it focuses on parts of my life that I haven't really delved into before," she stated.

Within moments of the first episode, we hear snippets of news presenters announcing Molly-Mae's separation from boxer Tommy Fury. My favourite segment, which admittedly had me chuckling, was the male newsreader who said: "Some are even comparing it to this generation's Charles and Diana."

At the start of the show, I was still filled with optimism. After all, I had only watched less than five minutes and there were two more episodes to come.

Regrettably, the subsequent hour or so adhered to the same narrative. Whenever Molly-Mae graced the screen, Tommy was bound to pop up on Facetime or in conversation.

While she was busy taking promotional snaps for her fashion brand, Maebe, Tommy briefly rang to update her on their daughter Bambi. This call, like many others throughout the series, sparked another round of direct-to-camera interviews discussing their split.

Now, it would be unfair to anticipate no reference to the break-up, as the pair's abrupt parting last summer sent shockwaves across the internet. And rightly so, the 25-year-olds fell in love on national TV and fans have been privy to every stage of their blossoming relationship.

However, Molly-Mae is plenty captivating without the need to mention her former fiancé. Seeing her talk about alcohol addiction with her mum, Debbie, was a breath of fresh air, providing a glimpse into the entrepreneur's upbringing.

But predictably, the conversation revolved around Tommy's alleged struggles with alcohol and subsequently their split.

Another highlight from the series is Molly-Mae's bond with her sister Zoe Rae, who confessed to having a rocky relationship with Tommy. Unfortunately, their fun car ride scene in the first episode - where they burst into song in true Carpool Karaoke fashion - was cut short to delve into the break up.

If I had to pick the best of the three episodes that have just dropped on Amazon Prime, it would be episode two, and I reckon most viewers will concur. In this instalment, the former Love Island star heads back to her hometown Hitchin and charts her rise to fame; from grafting at her local Boots to posting on social media and then hitting the big time on ITV.

The episode encapsulates why the mum-of-one is so adored, showing that she was once an ordinary lass who has worked hard to build an enviable life for herself. But the Molly-Mae bubble is burst by episode three, which kicks off with a phone call between the ex-lovers.

To label Molly-Mae: Behind It All as more than a break up documentary is being overly kind. It is a break up documentary - but only one of the exes in question turned up for filming.
