In a press event before she entered the villa, Molly was quizzed on whether her doting mum had shared any pearls of wisdom before stepping in front of the cameras on the ITV2 dating show.
She told Daily Star and other press that her mum was “very open to the opportunities” the show will provide her daughter.
Molly explained: “We already have been very big fans of the show. They know how the show works and what it entails.
“So they are really excited for me and they know how much I love being in a relationship.
“They know that I love being in love, so they do want that for me again, so I can probably leave them alone a bit!”
But her ITV stint didn't last long before she was dumped from the villa after bombshell Kady McDermott coupled up with her partner Zachariah Noble.
However, viewers are convinced the blonde beauty will make a stellar comeback following the return of Casa Amor which is set to hit our screens this weekend.
