In a recent Q&A on her Instagram stories, she revealed an unseen baby picture of her to compare with Bambi and what took people by surprise was her strawberry birthmark.
Molly-Mae’s huge birthmark that she used to love
In Molly’s baby picture, the social media influencer is seen having a huge strawberry birthmark on her forehead. Strawberry marks aka haemangiomas are blood vessels that form a raised red lump on the skin. The 24-year-old was asked by one of her followers who she thinks Bambi looks more like her or Tommy.
Answering the question, the richest Love Island star shared a baby picture with her birthmark and wrote:
The birthmark was really birthmarking at this age.
She later revealed that she got her birthmark removed when she was about 12, reports MailOnline. However, she used to really ‘love it’ as it made her feel different. Molly said:
I had it removed when I was about 12...
Over the years its colour faded but it only went away from surgery. No one can believe it when I show pics of it.
I strangely loved it. I used to love that it was something no one else had and that it made me different
This comes after the star recently revealed she had an alternate name for Bambi but would never use it again for any of her future children.
Molly-Mae’s father on her birthmark
This isn’t the first time Molly-Mae has opened up about her prominent birthmark. In her autobiography - Becoming Molly-Mae, Molly shared the story of her birthmark. According to The Standard, her father Stephen found the placement of Molly’s birthmark unfair.
Stephen explained how he would get into ‘verbal’ fights with people over Molly’s birthmark. He eventually got it removed at an appropriate age so she doesn’t get bullied. He added:
Her birthmark gave her an adorable quality. A lot of people stood up for her and protected her from cruel remarks.
Meanwhile, Molly-Mae - who is planning to get married to Tommy Fury in a church - confirmed she never felt insecure about her birthmark and thought it made her special.
