Molly-Mae has brutal response after being slammed for ‘unacceptable behaviour’ in new documentary

Molly-Mae Hague has shared her response after being slammed over ‘unacceptable behaviour’ in her documentary series.

The Amazon Prime Video mini series Molly-Mae: Behind It All delves into the reality TV star’s life behind the cameras, from being mum to toddler Bambi, to starting her own fashion brand, Maebe, and her unexpected break-up from boxer Tommy Fury.

During the documentary, cameras follow Molly-Mae’s daily life and in one candid moment she can be seen pulling up to McDonald’s where she orders a large Big Mac meal and some chicken nuggets and mozzarella dippers.

"I actually live to eat, so many people around me are just like, 'I’ll just get the salad' and I’m just like, that could never be me. If it’s salad with chips then yeah I’m on board," she said.

In the following scenes, Molly could be seen chatting to the camera while driving and munching on her nuggets.

Although it's not actually illegal to eat behind the wheel, you can be penalised if it takes your attention away from driving.

A spokesperson for road safety charity IAM RoadSmart, Harriet Hernando, explained the risks involved with eating while driving.

"If you’re distracted, you may even fail to brake at all which risks a huge collision. Then there’s the risks posed by spilling hot food on your lap, which may cause an involuntary reaction," she told MailOnline, adding: "Even in dry conditions, if you’re travelling at 60mph and eating, and you’re suddenly forced to slam the brakes on in an emergency, it’ll take you over 70 metres to come to a stop.

"All this puts other road users at risk and dramatically increases the chances of crashing and killing or seriously injuring someone," she continued.

"There needs to be more awareness, especially among young drivers, that this isn’t acceptable behaviour. Our advice to Molly-Mae Hague is to avoid eating while driving and take a break instead."

The former Love Island star, however, doesn't seem overly bothered by the charity's warning.

She spoke out about the controversy in her latest YouTube vlog. She recorded herself eating another McDonald’s order in the car alongside her sister Zoe.

"Now we've got to park up, because the last time I ate a McDonald's chicken nugget....." Molly-Mae said, before Zoe replied: "Oh yeah, big bad one for you."

Insurance group RAC has also emphasised that drivers could face a fine if eating while driving causes a distraction.

"If you get distracted while snacking behind the wheel, the police could prosecute you for careless driving if they consider you to not be in proper control of the vehicle, an offence which carries an on-the-spot fine of £100 and three penalty points," they explained.

Molly-Mae's reps declined to comment when Tyla contacted them about the charity's warning.
