MOLLY-Mae Hague has revealed she has a secret new project that’s been two years in the making – and will launch VERY soon.
While many were hoping she would ‘spill the tea’ on her recent split with fiancé Tommy Fury, her return to her YouTube channel revealed a different kind of secret instead.
Taking to her vlog, she appeared fresh-faced and chatty as she updated her 1.9m followers on her exciting new project.
In reference to her upcoming venture she said: “This big secret project I have been working on now, is coming up to…two and a half years. For the last year and a half I have been non-stop working on it every single day.”
“My heart and soul have gone into this…every single bit of my passion and my energy – everything has been going into this project.”
And while she admitted the forthcoming launch ‘wasn’t ideal timing’ with everything else that was going on behind the scenes, she said: “There is no chance I have worked as hard on this, for as long as I have for it not to happen…in every way I want it to.”
With an Instagram launch set for the 8th of September and subsequent launch on 21st of September, she admitted it had been a ‘huge distraction’ given recent events.
She said: “I am so freaking excited!”
“We’re doing a start-up but it ‘aint a start-up. It’s literally just me doing it. Me and just one other person. There is literally just a team of two.”
Calling it a ‘passion project’ and a ‘huge learning experience’, she told fans it was the first time in her career she had worked on something so independently: “I wanted to do this for me. To set a good example for Bambi. I figured it all out for myself. “
Earlier in the vlog, she told fans she would not be going into details on her break-up.
She said: “I’m coming back to you guys for kind of a normal vlog…a lot of you will want me to sit down and talk about what’s gone on over the last couple weeks and spill the tea, but that was never something that was going to happen.”
She referenced the toll her recent relationship drama had taken by saying: “The last two weeks have been very real…it’s real life.”
And while she admitted it had been stressful she also revealed: “I am really looking forward to pressing on; moving on. I have so many exciting things coming up…”
Of course, it’s not the first time the mum of one has launched a business venture.
The 25-year-old influencer has amassed millions since her time on Love Island in 2019, meeting Tommy during the fifth series of the hit TV show.
To-date, she has enjoyed links with fashion brand Pretty Little Thing, where she was Creative Director from 2021 to 2023, and launched her fake tan line, Filter by Molly-Mae.

SHE might be on a family holiday, but mum-of-22 Sue Radford is also making the most of the opportunity to treat herself.
The family are currently in Florida, enjoying themselves on a no expense spared vacation – with days at Universal and Disney World among their excursions.
Sue Radford treated herself to a glass of pink bubbles and a new Loungefly bag as she continued to enjoy her Florida break[/caption]
She and her brood visited the International Food & Wine Festival in Epcot[/caption]
Sue has been keeping fans updated with their activities in posts on their Instagram page.
And on Thursday, it was once again a fun-filled day, with Sue, Noel and her brood heading to the famous IHOP for breakfast.
While Sue tucked into a cup of coffee, Bonnie, five, looked delighted with her French toast, fruit and chocolate dip.
They then headed to Epcot for the International Food & Wine Festival 2024, with Sue sharing a snap of herself holding a brochure for the event.
Eagle-eyed fans also spotted that Sue appeared to have treated herself to a new accessory, in the form of a £79.99 Loungefly bag.
The matriarch has quite the collection of the Disney bags, and seems to get one each time they visit the theme park.
This time, she went for a Minnie Mouse one, with a huge coral bow on the top, alongside coral rose ears.
Showing off her new bag, Sue also displayed her Disney-themed manicure – with little mouse outlines in white on her nails – as she enjoyed a glass of pink champagne.
The family ended the day with a trip to an outdoor cinema on the beach.
Despite the fact that it’s currently 31 degrees in Florida at the moment, there was even a fire – with the kids looking delighted as they had S’mores.
Those who weren’t indulging in the marshmallow concoctions entertained themselves by playing in the white sand.
They then settled down in deckchairs on the beach to watch that night’s film.
It’s not known when the Radfords’ Florida trip will end.
However, a lot of schools in Lancashire – where the family lives – are returning on Monday.
And Sue and Noel will want to be careful now that the new attendance laws are in place – as they could end up with a hefty fine considering how many children would potentially be missing school.
Under the national rules, all schools are required to consider a fine when a child has missed 10 or more sessions (5 days) for unauthorised reasons such as a holiday.
How does family-of-22 the Radfords afford to live?
AS Britain’s biggest family, it may come as no surprise that Sue and Noel Radford must have some hefty bills.
Between them, they have a whopping 22 children and seven dogs, which often has some people wonder how they manage their money.
The Radfords support themselves with the proceeds of Noel’s bakery, The Radford Pie Company, which is located near their home.
On their website, it says: “We have owned our own lovely bakery since 1999 which is how we manage to provide for (and feed) our huge and expanding family as well as for the local people of Heysham and Morecambe.”
The family expanded their business to cater to online orders placed across the UK.
The business is a family affair, with Noel at the helm, and some of their children helping out.
The older kids, who are working at least part-time, don’t get a free ride as they’re made to pay a small amount of rent to their parents.
“Us older ones do pay a little bit of board. Granted it’s not a lot but I’m also trying to save up for my own house at the moment.” their daughter Chloe said in a video on the YouTube channel.
Sue added: “We’ve always said if you want to buy somewhere, renting is a bit of dead money, so we’d rather you saved that money up and stayed at home a bit longer.
“I also do believe they should pay board if they are earning. We’ve always been brought up by our parents that we had to pay board.”
Noel and Sue famously don’t rely on benefits for their bumper brood and live off their pie shop for income.
They also revealed they make money from brand partnerships on social media.
The Radford family stars in their own reality TV show 22 Kids and Counting – which has run for four series.
Brand expert Andy Barr believes Noel and Sue have been paid less than £10,000 for each show.
He told the Daily Mail: “The typical fee per episode is going to be in the thousands rather than the tens or hundreds of thousands that people often think is the case with TV shows of this nature.
“If they continue to get commissioned for a fourth or fifth season, then they are going to be able to command a higher fee.”
He estimates that the Radfords make £ 5,000 an episode.
The fine is £80 if paid within 21 days, or £160 if paid within 28 days, but this amount is per child and per parent.
And with at least seven of the Radford kids who attend school on holiday, they could face a fine of £1,120 in total if they stay in Florida for an extra week.

A LOVE Is Blind star has revealed they didn’t live in the pods – and bosses told them what questions to ask their dates.
The brand new dating show – hosted by Matt and Emma Willis – has griped its worldwide audience.
Freddie Powell has revealed singletons actually stay in a hotel and not in the show’s pods[/caption]
Viewers watched the funeral director’s rocky relationship with now ex Catherine Richards play out[/caption]
Netflix dropped the show earlier this month, which sees single men and women date in purpose-built “pods” before ultimately getting engaged.
The twist is that the couples can hear, but not see each other while in the pods, only meeting once a proposal has been made.
But Freddie Powell has revealed singletons don’t actually sleep on the set – instead staying at a nearby hotel – and in Sweden.
He told The Sun: “So that’s a set that you go to. And then after the day is finished you go back to a hotel.
“It was very long days. If you weren’t dating, it was long just hanging around in that lounge.
“You could pass the time. I mean, you just have the pool table. I’m not into pool, but I played it a few times just to pass the time.”
The funeral director, 32, also revealed producers prompted conversations for each date – but they didn’t have to stick to them.
He explained: “So you’ve probably seen these little notebooks that we’ve got. And in those notebooks you’re prompted.
“Each day is like a different topic. You’re not forced to talk about that subject, but you know, one day might be sort of like love language, then the next day might could be intimacy.”
Love Is Blind fans watched as Freddie got engaged to Catherine Richards on the show.
However, the pair’s nuptials didn’t go ahead after they clashed on screen.
Emirates chief Mikel Arteta confirmed: “It is unfortunate. Yesterday he had a collision and he got a shoulder injury.
“It looks as though he could be out for a few weeks. It was his first session.
“We were all very excited and everything was looking good but he landed on the floor and has a small fracture.
“He was in so much pain and we have to wait and see and do more tests.
“This is football. We have tried to do all the things we wanted.”
Merino joined the Gunners from Real Sociedad in a £32.6million deal to provide more options in midfield.
Arteta was keen to bolster his engine room and sees the Euros-winning Spain international as a perfect fit.
The signing was Arsenal’s third of the summer, taking their total tally to just over £100m after also spending £27m on David Raya and £42m on Riccardo Calafiori.
Arsenal ratings vs Aston Villa: Raya and Saliba rock solid at the back but Martinelli toothless
ARSENAL made sure to keep pace with Manchester City as they bagged a late 2-0 win against bogey team Aston Villa.
Timely goals from Leandro Trossard and Thomas Partey helped Mikel Arteta maintain a 100 per cent start to the season.
But they owed a lot to keeper David Raya who somehow denied Ollie Watkins at 0-0.
Here is how SunSport’s Jordan Davies rated the Gunners stars…
DAVID RAYA – 9/10
Other than watching Watkins’ shot dribble wide, a fairly quiet first half before a smart save to halt Rogers’ flick across goal.
He then pulled off an unbelievable stop on the line to deny a Watkins header, getting up off the floor after a deflected shot smacked the bar and bounced out.
JURRIEN TIMBER – 7
Showed his quality in the opening few minutes to break Villa’s tricky block before leaving Onana in a heap with a hefty body check.
Likely to keep this starting spot ahead of Zinchenko.
WILLIAM SALIBA – 9
Immense. Watkins barely had a sniff up against him. Arsenal’s difference-maker in these tight, nervy games.
In a rare instance, lost his temper with McGinn in the first half, but regained his composure and was a rock at the back.
Made a late lung-busting run back to block a late counter and celebrated like it was a goal.
GABRIEL – 5
Very lucky not to hand Villa the lead. Stripped on the edge of his box claiming a foul but thankful to see Watkins somehow drag his effort wide.
Picked up a needless yellow in the second half for wild challenge on Onana. One of his poorer games in an Arsenal shirt with mistakes that should have been punished.
BEN WHITE – 7
Solid as ever, needing to be alert with Villa lethal on the counter, covering superbly.
In pure White fashion, started a melee after smacking a ball into McGinn for doing the same to Saliba, with an expressionless look on his face throughout.
THOMAS PARTEY – 8
Brilliantly stopped several early Villa counters and showed good physicality in his entertaining battle against McGinn.
Looked leggy late on but kept on by Arteta, and rewarded his manager with a rare goal.
DECLAN RICE – 7
Drove forward more with Partey sitting deeper. Lovely pass in behind for Havertz which should have been finished off.
MARTIN ODEGAARD – 7
Kept things ticking with some cute passes in the Villa final third and threw around plenty of tackles in the middle of the pitch.
Played in Saka in the 64th minute but the winger opted not to shoot, but three minutes later teed up Saka again to provide for Trossard.
GABRIEL MARTINELLI – 5
Had an early chance to break free down the left but his delivery into Saka was under hit.
Was just as lacklustre after the break and lucky to stay on for as long as he did, coming off in the 65th minute.
BUKAYO SAKA – 8
Looked to have put Arsenal ahead after 15 minutes but for a wonderful Martinez fingertip save.
Through on goal in the second half, he wrongly chose to try and round the Villa keeper and made a mess of his finish.
But, all that matters are his assists for Trossard and Partey – his persistence paid off.
KAI HAVERTZ – 6
Unlucky not to find the net from a scrappy corner, hitting the bar with a toe poke. Wasteful in Villa’s box with two great chances squandered.
Worked hard, but not as clinical as he has been.
SUBS:
LEANDRO TROSSARD (MARTINELLI, 65) – 9
Almost gave Villa the lead within seconds of coming on, losing Ezri Konsa at a free-kick with a volley looping just wide.
But then, he pops up in the other box and instinctively curls in a beautiful finish.
Played his part in Partey’s strike too with a perfect run in behind.
RICCARDO CALAFIORI (TIMBER, 80) – 6
Premier League debut for the Italian. Got in the good books of Arsenal fans by winding up Martinez almost instantly.
REISS NELSON (SAKA, 87) – N/A

4 weeks agoNews TopicsComments Off on How to challenge your council tax bill as one in three pay less – can you save thousands?
HOUSEHOLDS can challenge their council tax bands and potentially save thousands of pounds.
New government figures show that 27% of people who tried to change their band between 2023 to 2024 were successful.
According to the VOA (Valuation Office Agency), 39,590 cases were resolved, down from 56,820 in 2022 to 2023.
The figures show that 10,530 saw a council tax reduction, while 25,930 were unchanged.
The total number of challenges made in 2023 to 2024 was 43,820, down from 51,300 the previous year.
This means that 27%, or almost one in three, were successful in getting their council tax band reduced. This is almost identical to 2022-23, when 28% were successful.
These households will now pay less and may be in line for a refund for what they’ve overpaid.
Properties across the UK are put into a band from A to H, and this informs how much council tax you pay.
Your home’s band is based on its rateable value – the more expensive the property, the higher the council tax band.
But the bands were created based on property values back in 1991, so many households may find that based on today’s prices, they should be in a different band.
In this instance, you can challenge your council tax band – it could mean you are moved to a lower band and therefore pay less.
You’ll also get a refund of council tax going back to the date you moved into the property.
But a word of warning to anyone considering this – there is also a risk that you could get moved up a band and have to pay more.
According to this year’s figures, a total of 30 challenges resulted in a tax band increase.
Depending on which band you are in, getting a reduction could potentially save you thousands.
But the amount of money you can save moving council tax brackets varies depending on where you live.
She went from band E to band D, which lowered her council tax bill from £197 a month to £162 a month.
She was also told she would get a refund for the three months she had overpaid since she moved in.
Plus, instead of taking this as a lump sum payment, she decided to have this taken off her future payments, reducing them to £137 a month for the remaining tax year.
ONE of the biggest household bills you need to pay is Council Tax.
How much you pay will depend on the value of your home, but Senior Consumer Reporter Olivia Marshall explains how you can save.
Check for discounts
Not everyone pays council tax. If you have someone who’s living with you and they don’t count, you could get 25% off your bill.
This includes full-time students, people on certain apprentice schemes, a live-in carer looking after someone else and student nurses.
If you live on your own you can claim a discount of 25%.
You’ll have to apply for the discount on your local authority’s website and can check eligibility at gov.uk/apply-council-tax-reduction
Help for disabled people
People with certain disabilities can get a discount of up to 100%. This applies to anyone considered severely mentally impaired (SMI) which includes conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s or learning difficulties resulting from a stroke.
If you’re living with someone affected by SMI then you could qualify for a discount too,
To be considered, a GP needs to certify the SMI and typically they will need to be receiving at least one type of benefit such as attendance allowance or personal independence payments.
Again, you can check your eligibility or a family member’s and apply on your local council’s website.
If you’re on a low income
If you’re on a low income or benefits, you might be able to claim a council tax reduction of up to 100%. This means you pay no council tax at all.
You can apply if you own your home or rent, and if you are unemployed or working.
But the rules vary between councils so you will need to contact yours to find out what you can get.
Claim a refund
Hundreds of thousands of households should check to see if they can get a council tax refund after making an overpayment.
Anyone who has moved out of one area to another is likely to be entitled to a refund if they paid their council tax bill upfront.
If you failed to close your council tax account and did not pay by direct debit, the local authority is not able to refund you any cash owed.
Check with your local council to see if you are due cash back and how to reclaim it.
How to challenge your Council Tax band
If, like Martina, you think your home is in the wrong council Tax band, then you’ll need to place a formal challenge.
4 weeks agoNews TopicsComments Off on Ultra-rare ‘lines over face’ error on 50p that sends price skyrocketing into £1,000s – are you sitting on a goldmine?
A COLLECTION of 50p coins have soared in price up to a whopping four figures all because of one tiny detail.
If you’re holding onto any of the Olympic coins make sure to check the design to see if it’s a limited edition Aquatics 50p piece.
Are you sitting on an ultra-rare find?[/caption]
These rare Aquatic 50p coin were printed in error[/caption]
There are thought to be 600 pieces of these coins misprinted in 2011 ahead of the London celebrations with each being worth more than just a pretty penny.
A coin expert with the YouTube handle Christopher Collects can vouch for the rare find.
In one of his videos he said: “The Aquatics 50p with the lines over the face is about as rare as UK 50p coins get.
“It would be the centerpiece of any 50p coin collection within what is already a really popular set of Olympic coins.”
These coins were printed with lines, mimicking water ripples, over the swimmers‘ head whereas her face was originally designed to be more visible.
The image was quickly changed when the Royal Mint modified the design, leaving only a few of these original coins in circulation.
This slight distortion has collectors battling over the limited edition piece, with one of the highest bidder spending £3,766 to take the precious coin home.
If you have discovered an Aquatic 50p behind in your back pocket, it’s still a part of the popular Olympic collection – but the misprinted one is a far more lucrative find.
Christopher Collects added: “It blows even the Kew Gardens 50p out of the water.”
The 2009 Kew Gardens 50p in question was another ‘rare find’ that had collectors quick to outbid each other on online auctions which have been sold for up to £142.
Other rare coins include a small mistake on Gruffalo’s Child 50p where the creature is depicted with three toes whilst the character in the original book has four.
The error can be spotted clearly in the Gruffalo’s Child’s pawprints as well.
These coins can are listed for £42.99 on eBay despite being first available for £12.99 – but this is pocket change in comparison with the Aquatic collection.
Some of the rare Olympic coins are going for £118 on eBay, but other are selling the error coin for thousands.
A coin expert known as CoinCollectingWizard shared a video describing the coin to his 191k followers.
He said: “People could benefit from checking their wallets and down the back of their sofa for this ultra rare 50p.
“One of the most exciting aspects is that no one knows exactly how many entered circulation before the changes were made.
4 weeks agoNews TopicsComments Off on Seaside theme park reveals two new attractions – and will stay open until 10pm
ONE of the best-loved theme parks in the UK is introducing two new attractions in time for its annual Halloween event.
Pleasure Beach Resort in Blackpool will be celebrating its ‘Journey to Hell’ scare nights, with two additional features, as well as a revamped event with three times as many rides.
Two new scare attractions will be open at Blackpool Pleasure Beach this Halloween[/caption]
The events will run from 7pm until 10pm on selected dates during October[/caption]
The theme park is also planning a number of other features for the events[/caption]
For 2024, the theme park will have two new live-action “scare zones”, including the Alice in Wonderland-themed ‘Down the Rabbit Hole’ and an unusual ‘Cabinet of Curiosities.’
The former will see the park’s Alice in Wonderland ride converted into “a nightmarish world” where Alice and friends have gone insane.
It will feature “grotesque figures” who the park claim will be lurking around every corner hoping to terrify park-goers.
Meanwhile, the Cabinet of Curiosities is built inside the lair of a macabre collector and is “home to the inexplicable and the bizarre”.
It will be filled with a collection of gruesome creatures and guests will have to escape through a maze of horrors.
Nine rides will be included in the event this year, with unlimited rides available on all but the live-action scare zones.
It’s a much more generous offering compared to last year’s event, where only three rides were included on a one ride per visitor basis.
Meanwhile, the north of the park will be transformed into ‘haunted ride areas’ and will feature scarily dressed roaming actors, live entertainment, and spooky cocktails and dining options.
Elsewhere, ‘The Ghost Train: Vault of Shadows’ will return for its second year.
The train is said to be one of the most haunted attractions in the world, and is rumoured to be haunted by one of its former operators, affectionately known as “Cloggy”.
The theme park has also warned visitors about other spooks that could be found lurking throughout the park during the event.
Below the rides and amusements sits a 100-year-old network of tunnels that is used to travel between rides.
This underground network will be home the fourth live-action scare zone, ‘Twisted Tunnels’.
Guests will have to find their way through the labyrinth of winding passageways beneath the theme park, accompanied by some other unwelcome characters.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Blackpool Pleasure Beach has been open right next to the beach in Blackpool since 1896 and featured a few roundabouts, a Bicycle Railway and several small stalls.
It has since grown into one of the UK’s best-known parks, with 10 rollercoasters, five water rides, five dark rides and the country’s only Nickleodeon Land, which has 12 themed rides and meet and greets with popular characters.
It boasts about being “the most ride intensive park” in the UK.
That didn’t used to be the case, with its first notable attraction known as Sir Hiram Maxim’s Captive Flying Machine – a swing ride that opened back in 1904.
A Mill Chute water ride titled The River Caves of the World opened the following year and, perhaps surprisingly, both are still up and running to this day.
The park’s rides have broken records throughout the years, with The Big One the world’s tallest rollercoaster when it first opened in 1994.
It was also the steepest, and the second fastest, with a top speed of 74mph.
It has since lost those titles and is now the UK’s second tallest and fastest ride, behind Hyperia at Thorpe Park, which opened in 2024.
Please Beach was the first theme park in Europe to introduce a fully inverting steel rollercoaster, called Revolution, and is the last remaining park in the world to still operate a Steeplechase rollercoaster.
CEO of Pleasure Beach Resort, Amanda Thompson OBE, said: “This year, Journey to Hell is bigger and more frightening than ever with two brand new scare zones.
“After the success of our zone inside the Ghost Train last year, we’ve turned another fan-favourite ride into a terrifying live action area and it promises to be one of our creepiest yet.
“We know our rides help us stand out from other scare events, so we’ve tripled the rides available and added ride theming for a more immersive experience.
“Even the rides that aren’t classed as one of our scare zones will have roaming actors and entertainment to create a truly terrifying night.
“Add that to our own eerie history here at Pleasure Beach Resort and it’s a Halloween event not to be missed.”
The Journey to Hell: Freak Night events will take place on selected dates from October 11 until October 31, from 7pm until 10pm and Tickets start from £39.50.
However, for younger visitors who perhaps aren’t quite prepared for the scariness of the special events, extra family-friendly Halloween-themed entertainment and activities will run throughout October.
That includes Halloween guests, who will be seen roaming around the park, including Lougarock the werewolf.
There will also be fancy dress competitions, scary movies shown on the park’s Scream Screen, and Halloween-themed food and drinks.
Meanwhile, at Nickelodeon Land, there will be the chance to say ‘trick or treat’ to Nickelodeon characters including SpongeBob SquarePants and the PAW Patrol pups.
Meanwhile, this is what Alton Towers has planned for Halloween, including a new Nemesis-themed thrill experience.

“I’m kind of dreading this weekend because I feel like weekends are cr*p.
“When you’re going through a breakup, weekends seem to be the worst because they were always something I really looked forward to, especially when you’re with your family.
“It’s family time and memory-making time.
“You always do nice things, and now I just feel like weekends are the hardest because they’re so lonely and just sad, really.”
She continued: “So, yeah, I’m not really looking forward to this weekend, but I hope that with each passing weekend, it will get easier.
“In breakups, there are definitely parts of the day that are worse and better than others.
“Mornings are horrendous, evenings are horrendous, and weekends for me are horrendous.
“When you’re busy in the middle of the day, not thinking about things and staying distracted, that is prime time.
“Those are the few hours when you’re not thinking about it.
“Then, the minute things slow down, and you’re so used to how life was for so long with a routine and everything done with your person, it’s obviously a lot of change and it’s really, it’s pretty cr*p.

A CHARITY worker has appeared in court after a top chef was left fighting for his life after being attacked at Notting Hill Carnival.
Mussie Imnetu, who worked under Gordon Ramsay, was discovered unconscious with a head injury on Monday night.

CCTV showed him leaving the Arts Club in Mayfair hours before the horror[/caption]
The 41-year-old remains in hospital in a critical condition.
Omar Wilson, 31, today appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court charged with causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent.
He was emotional as he spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and address during the hearing.
The court was told Mussie suffered catastrophic brain injuries, including bleeds on the brain and multiple cardiac arrests.
Wilson, who is currently self-employed and is a director for a charity, was remanded into custody.
He will next appear at Southwark Crown Court on September 27.
The horror unfolded after Mussie, who is the head chef at Arts Club in Dubai, left the restaurant’s sister venue in Dover Street, Mayfair.
A CCTV image released by police shows the Swedish chef looking at his phone as he departed shortly after 1pm.
He was wearing a blue T-shirt and black jeans, and later bought a white baseball cap, Scotland Yard said.
Mussie then arrived at the Dr Power restaurant on Queensway, West London, at around 10.30pm.
He was discovered just under an hour later and rushed to hospital.
Mussie was visiting the UK on business from Dubai where he lives and works.
As well as collaborating with Gordon Ramsay, he had also worked for MasterChef host Marcus Wareing and Alain Ducasse.
The Met’s Specialist Crime Command are still trying to piece together Mussie’s movements earlier in the day.
