Molly-Mae Hague ‘needed a fresh start’ after puppy passing

Molly-Mae Hague "needed a fresh start" following the death of her puppy.

The 21-year-old TV star has been tight-lipped on social media since the death of her beloved pet, Mr Chai, who died days after Molly took him home – but the blonde beauty has now broken her Instagram silence, revealing she recently fled her Manchester flat and moved into a new property following the tragedy.

Giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at her new home, Molly – who has moved into the spectacular property with boyfriend Tommy Fury – said via Instagram: "I don’t want to dwell on the last couple of weeks but what I do want to say is thank you.

"Thank you to every single person that has sent me such thoughtful messages asking me how I am and making sure I’m ok, it has meant the world to me.

"I’ve enjoyed a much needed break from my phone but I’m back now and ready to get stuck into some really exciting things I have coming up. (sic)"

Molly admitted moving from their flat in Manchester to their new home has helped to lift her mood.

The TV star – who met Tommy on ‘Love Island’ in 2019 – said: "Also had a much needed change of location. Didn’t realise how much I needed a fresh start… (sic)"

Molly previously revealed that Mr Chai had been shipped over to the UK from Russia.

But things took a turn for the worse after just a few days, with the puppy suffering a seizure and dying shortly after arriving in the country.

An emotional Molly subsequently revealed via social media that Tommy "vomited everywhere" upon hearing the news.

Explaining the tragic news, she said: "Chai’s skull wasn’t fully developed. Part of his brain was exposed. In a tiny dog, any knock probably wasn’t very helpful."
