Molly-Mae Hague breaks down in tears and admits she is overwhelmed and struggling

But she says that motherhood is the 'best thing to ever happen' to her and that she is a 'good mum to Bambi'

Molly-Mae Hague has shared a very emotional video on YouTube, which sees her break down in tears and admit she is struggling.

In the heart-wrenching 11-minute monologue captioned 'The Truth', new mum Molly, said she just didn't know 'where to start' with all that she wanted to talk about.

Molly, 23, and partner Tommy Fury welcomed their adorable daughter Bambi into the world in January, but Molly said in the video that she was currently finding mum life 'overwhelming'.

What did Molly say?

Speaking directly to the camera, and at times looking very upset, Molly tried to articulate how she felt:

'I feel like there's just so much to say and so much to talk about that I literally don't know where to start,' she says. 'I don't feel like I'm being myself, and I don't know why I'm getting upset but I feel like I'm questioning everything I'm saying and what are people going to think if I say that.'

'I don't feel like myself'

Wiping tears from her eyes, the former Love Island star admitted that 'nothing I say is making sense. My brain is jumbled and I don't feel like myself.'

She told her fans that she really wanted to get back to making regular videos and let everyone know 'what I've been going through and what I've been struggling with' but wasn't sure how to.

'It's not that I need more time to come back because I do feel ready to come back and want more than anything to come back to YouTube,' she said. 'I want it more than anything but maybe I've left it too long and I have so much to say that I feel overwhelmed and don't know where to begin.'

The realities of mum life

The stressed-out mum also confessed she was feeling 'run down' and trying to get over a cold – something she felt wasn't happening because of 'mum life.'

However, Molly went on to say that despite her current bout of the blues, being a mum to Bambi had come naturally and motherhood was the best thing that had ever happened to her – as well as the hardest!

The one word to describe it all – overwhelming!

'Becoming a mum is the best thing to ever happen to me but it is also the hardest thing that has ever happened to me,' she said, before going on to add something almost all new mums will totally relate to:

'I have found it really, really hard, the one word to describe it, to describe the past two months would be overwhelming. Every single day you can't believe the 360 your life has taken, it is a very hard thing to wrap your head around, it is the biggest life change that no one can prepare you for.'

Sisterly support

And while we reckon Molly will have the support and understanding of all her fans, a comment left under the video by her sister Zoe must have really meant a lot to her.

Zoe wrote:

'You’re the most incredible Mumma, every single person is behind you Mols. We love you so much and you should be so proud of yourself xxx'

Aw! Absolutely. We all know how tough those early days are – especially when you're not feeling well yourself – you're doing a great job Molly-Mae!
