They're more down to my drive and ambition to do big things."Molly-Mae spoke about the show pushing her in the right direction, but she also felt confident that she would be able to acheive all her goals without the aid of the show."

I always say don't bite the hand that feeds you but also respect that I've obviously worked so hard to get where I am now... I always had big goals and I set myself huge dreams"."Everybody when they come out of that show is given the same opportunities — we all have the same 24 hours in the day — and where you take your life when you come out of a show like that is totally dependent on who you are as a person." She added.The new PLT creative director said that she is "honoured" to have taken the new position, and continued by saying "I love my life now. There's not one thing I'd change. I'm so blessed."
