Molly-Mae Hague has admitted she calls the Behind It All film crew to rush over when any drama happens and revealed winning a National Television Award ‘added pressure’ to ensure her Amazon Prime show is a continued success.
The 26-year-old influencer won in the Authored Documentary category for the tell-all series up against tough competition, including There’s Only One Rob Burrow, Flintoff, and Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me.
Although many expected Rob’s family to take home the award, it was Molly-Mae who ultimately scooped the prize.
Speaking to Daily Mail at a London Q&A, she said: ‘It definitely added the pressure winning the NTA.
‘I mean we felt the pressure anyway because I’m a massive perfectionist and I just want everything I to put it to be perfect but obviously winning an NTA does just add that pressure because people are like, “okay well it’s won an award better follow that same energy.”‘
Molly-Mae also feels she has been more open in the second series because she trusts the film crew more this time around.

‘I think I was able to trust the crew a little bit more and let go a bit which I have definitely done in this season,’ she said.
‘I think I would have held back or wanted to shy away from sharing or topics I feel that I didn’t put the trust in the crew last time because it was just new territory for me.
‘I do feel really nervous about it to be honest because there are things that I’ve never really spoke about before but I’m kind of just trusting the crew.’
The former Love Island star admitted she calls the crew right away if something dramatic happens in her life so they can capture it for the show.
‘Normally they do say to me that if something does happen just give us a call because we do love capturing the bits that just happen off the cuff that is when we get the best stuff,’ she explained.
‘And I’m sometimes like, “ugh I don’t want jeopardy or drama” but actually when those bits do happen it is great viewing.
‘Sometimes it’s the bits that are harder to film, but when you watch it back and see it all come together, you’re like, “okay, I can see why they’re like capturing the highs and lows because it does make for a good show.”‘
Molly-Mae also discussed being a mother to daughter Bambi, admitting she has at times ‘struggled’ with the responsibilities of parenthood.
She said: ‘Obviously winning an NTA does just add that pressure because people are like, “okay well it’s won an award better follow that same energy”‘

‘I think the show shows it, but it’s kind of just like trusting, but the process and taking each day as it comes, I think with me and my motherhood journey, like, every week looks so different. Every hour looks so different,’ she said.
‘I don’t shy away from the fact that I have struggled with it a little bit, and probably more than I anticipated I would, and I think I’ve kind of learnt along the way to just sort of lean into the chaos, not trying to make everything perfect, because having a told her like it’s literally impossible and just, yeah, just being the best man I can be and being proud of that.
‘I don’t really take much notice to the outside noise. I mean, sometimes it’s actually great constructive criticism, and I’ll see something, I’m like, well, yeah, fair enough. That’s a different way to look at it.
‘And sometimes I do actually appreciate the comments, because sometimes they’re actually really helpful, but other than that, I just try and stay in my own lane and just focus on Bambi.’
When Molly-Mae won her NTA in September, she said in her acceptance speech: ‘Just to be nominated for this award was such an honour.
‘I think as you guys saw, we were up against some seriously inspirational people in this category.’
Molly-Mae: Behind It All series 2 premieres on Amazon Prime Video on Saturday, October 18.
