Fran explained: “A high-street fashion brand came along last year, offered me £2 million, which is a lot of money, a hell of a lot of money, and said to me, ‘we’re obsessed with Molly-Mae, we’d love her to be the face of our brand, we want her to work with us.’

“I thought, brilliant. So I said how do you feel about that, she said no. I said, ‘Why? You told me you want that house.’ And she said, ‘No, I don’t go and buy my clothes from there.'”

Fran went on to explain what sets the Love Island star apart from other influencers. “That’s another thing what is incredible about you, and I think other influencers aren’t this way, and this is one of your best qualities, that if you see ‘ad’ on any of Molly’s posts, you know she genuinely uses, and wears, and believes in that brand,” she explained.
