Love Island alum Molly-Mae Hague has opened up on why she opted not to celebrate her 25th birthday.
The reality star and influencer is one of the most-followed on Instagram, with a staggering 7.8 million followers.
It was her birthday on 26 May, and with all of the resources to have a lavish birthday bash at hand, fans were shocked to learn it was a low-key affair.
The mum-of-one, who is engaged to fellow Love Island contestant and boxer Tommy Fury, took to YouTube to share the reasons why.

She said: "Yesterday I literally had the most chilled birthday ever. I didn't have the energy to do anything other than absolutely nothing.
"I had a couple of friends round and that was literally it. Taylor and Tommy organised a chef to come round and cook us an Italian-themed lunch which was so so lovely and it was the perfect day.
"I really didn't want to do anything because I'm so, so exhausted at the minute."
Molly then continued: "I think as you guys may have seen, if you follow me on Instagram, life has been really really non-stop during May.
"Yesterday, I didn't have it in me to have a birthday. I was like, 'this birthday has come at the wrong time'.
"I didn't want to talk to anyone. All my friends came round and we literally just sat chilling.
"I was like 'guys, please don't make me talk to you, like please, I ain't got it left! I've got nothing left!'"
So there we have it, our favourite social media gal is feeling slightly zapped of all energy lately.
Molly then took to Instagram to share a snap of her cosying up to fiancé Tommy and holding baby Bambi.
She captioned the shot: "The most chilled birthday ever at home with the people I love," to which Tommy commented: "Everything x".
So cute!
Fans were quick to reassure Molly that there is nothing wrong with a bit of me time, especially when you may otherwise feel the pressure on birthdays.
One person wrote: "This is one of my fave vlogs to see all 3 of you just enjoying yourself. So heart warming."
Another said: "Keep your chin up, Molly! You’re doing so well in your life and motherhood. Be proud and happy of who you are."
The birthday admission comes after months of unfounded breakup rumours about the parents.
The beautiful photo of the family curled up on the sofa seems to have put the rumours to bed once and for all.
One person chimed: "She really said shut the rumours DOWN.”
While another said: "Whew Molly!! That’s how you shut down the rumors, tabloids and busy bodies. Now let’s see if they post this since it’s Facts Not Fiction. Happiest Birthday to You!! And may your blessings continue to shine.”
