MOLLY-Mae Hague’s BFF and Love Island co-star Maura Higgins dropped a huge hint about her chosen baby name almost two years ago.
The Irish model, 32, who forged a friendship with Molly, 23, after failing to woo her villa man and subsequent baby-daddy Tommy Fury, gave the new mum a very telling gift on her 22nd birthday.
Molly announced she had given birth to her first baby with boxer Tommy, also 23, in an emotional Instagram post on Monday.
A source recently revealed how the pair were feeling “so blessed” to welcome the tot and were “enjoying every minute” – before it was revealed the little girl is called Bambi.
Some savvy fans had already speculated the tot was called the name of the Disney deer – while others had suggested a variety of monikers.
Yet a recently-resurfaced image from Molly’s Instagram page now appears to explain everything.
It captures the proud mum of one holding a mug showing Bambi and Thumper the rabbit and emblazoned with the words “a very special friend.”
After tagging Maura in the post, Molly wrote: “Only real ones know why this is special. Love you.”
This could suggest Maura was in the loop with Molly’s chosen name the whole time – particularly as her mate said she picked out the moniker years ago.
Molly had previously teased that her daughter would have a unique name.
She revealed: “It’s a really, really unusual and a different name.”
Molly-Mae had already given fans an insight into her baby name plans, TWO years before she fell pregnant with her first child.
The reality TV star joked that “everyone will hate” the selection of names she made with her beau Tommy back in 2020.
Molly-Mae admitted she had some “unusual” choices lined up, after a fan questioned her on what she will name her future children.
The fashion mogul said of her future babies: “No one in my child’s class is going to have the same name as them.
“I already have names in mind that I know everyone is going to hate, and I just can’t wait for it.”
