Love Island 2019 star Molly-Mae Hague admitted going on the show was a 'business move' in her latest Q&A with fans.

However, she was quick to insist that her relationship with boxer Tommy Fury, who she met on the show, was genuine.

In a recent YouTube video influencer Molly-Mae addressed some common assumptions she’s faced since finding fame, including whether or not she and Tommy had sex in the villa (spoiler – they did).

'Yeah I guess it kind of was a business move,' she said, winking at the camera. 'I went on there not really bothered if I found love or not, I found love... When you're not looking for something you find it. Out of all the girls, I was really chilled like: "If it happens it happens, if it doesn't it doesn't, either way it'll be a fun experience".'

She went on to say, 'I don't know how I ended up on the show, it was the weirdest thing. I went for an audition and then they rang me like: "You're on'" and I was like oh my gosh this is just a little bit crazy. It was a very, very weird time for me.'

She also addressed speculation around her net worth, coyly admitting she has 'Six figures, yeah… Yep', in her bank account… but we suspect from her answer it’s probably more.

Molly-Mae and Tommy were tipped to win last summer’s series, after coupling up in the first few weeks and, minus a few minor blips, stayed united throughout the full eight weeks.

However, fan favourite Amber Gill seemingly found her match with bombshell Greg O’Shea and the new couple pipped them to the post.

'Surprised I didn't win Love Island?' she continued. 'It's a really hard one to answer but if I had to straight away I would probably say yes, just because Tommy and I had been the only couple to go from the start to the end. Every single bombshell was saying: "You're the winners", and we didn't care at all... We didn't even think about it. I am glad me and Tommy didn't win, I think it'd have completely changed our path.'
