Molly-Mae Hague Recalls Early Manchester Flat Days

Molly-Mae Hague recently offered fans a glimpse into her first Manchester apartment, a modest one-bedroom flat located on the 17th floor, which stands in sharp contrast to her current £4.8 million Cheshire mansion.

Before entering the Love Island villa in 2019, Hague, then 20, resided in the city center flat. In a recent TikTok video, she returned to the property, providing a 'House Tour' set to Sabrina Carpenter's music.

Hague shared footage of the open-plan kitchen and living area, sitting on the same grey sofa she used previously and showcasing the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows. She captioned the video, "If you know where I am... you've been here a while," adding, "Can't believe I got to go back here."

In a previous tour from 2020, Hague described the kitchen as "tiny" and admitted to ordering food delivery for most meals. She noted that she spent much of her time working on her Macbook at the table. The bedroom featured a packed clothing rail, a far cry from her current extensive wardrobe.

She reflected on the space, stating, "It was perfect for me. When Tommy and I came out of Love Island, we were living here a lot but he loved it and I found it too small. We were struggling for space and we didn't want to be on top of each other."

Following the one-bedroom flat, Hague and her partner Tommy Fury moved into a penthouse in Ancoats, Manchester. They later rented a £1.3 million penthouse in Hale, which was the subject of an £800,000 burglary in 2021. Subsequently, Hague purchased a six-bedroom home for £3.8 million, which she has been using as a 'content house.'

Hague now resides in a £5 million Victorian mansion in Cheshire with Fury and their two children. The property features seven bedrooms and an indoor swimming pool. Despite this, her £3.8 million home has remained empty for approximately a year, even after receiving rental offers.

Hague has expressed reluctance to sell the £3.8 million property, deeming it "too special." She has turned down rental offers, citing that the income after tax wouldn't be worth the hassle and that the thought of strangers living there is "scary."

She shared in a YouTube vlog that the house holds significant memories, including Bambi's first milestones. "The new house feels so much more like a family home," she stated, explaining that the Cheshire mansion is better suited for family life. While she acknowledges the potential to sell, she finds it difficult due to the sentimental value.

In 2022, Hague purchased the Cheshire home, documenting renovations that included marble countertops, a home gym, and high-end dining furniture. The couple later welcomed their daughter Bambi, for whom they spent approximately £9,500 on nursery furnishings. After a period of separation in August 2024, Fury moved into the newly purchased £5 million mansion, with Hague and Bambi relocating there full-time mid-2025. The £3.8 million home has been empty since then, while Hague has focused on renovating and showcasing her current residence.
