Love Island couple Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have been slammed by fans after the blonde beauty revealed that they imported her new puppy from Russia during the coronavirus pandemic.
The 21-year-old Instagram influencer received the new pet from her boyfriend as a birthday present earlier this week.
Taking to social media ahead of the arrival of the new family member, the former islander shared snaps of a dog pen and bowls.
She explained on her Instagram story feature to her million of followers: “Sat waiting for you, little monster. An hour before I become a dog mum.
“Has anyone ever received a puppy at night? What are you meant to do? Put them to bed or stay up with them??!

“Honestly, this is going to be so entertaining.”
Molly added: “He was meant to be here on my birthday btw guys but he’s coming from Russia so there were delays etc.”
Horrified fans flocked to social media to slam the blonde bombshell’s choice to import her pet, with some outraged by her decision not to adopt an animal in need from the UK.
Russia closed their borders to foreign visitors in March due to coronavirus, with the decree extended indefinitely last month.

One wrote: “MOLLY MAE’s F***ING DOG IS COMING. From. RUSSIA. The ignorance, I’m so disgusted.”
Another added: “Wait Molly Mae is having a puppy shipped to her from Russia?
“There’s literally so many dogs sat in adoption centres and they choose to get a dog shipped from another country wtf is that about?”
A third seethed: “Was excited to see what pup Molly Mae was getting until she said it was being shipped over from Russia… In the middle of a pandemic.”
A fourth penned : “Molly-Mae’s new puppy is on its way from RUSSIA???! Little doggy on a flight from Russia, I’m mindboggled.”
Fans were confused about why the couple chose to import a breed that they could have bought in the UK (Image: mollymaehague/Instagram)
Others were confused about why the couple chose to import a breed that they could have bought in the UK.
One fan asked: “Are you realllllly telling me that Tommy Fury thought it was necessary to get Molly Mae a puppy from Russia, for it to be a Pomeranian, a breed widely available in the UK, without the dog having to suffer from all the travel? Laughable.”
Another added: “Getting a f**king Pomeranian shipped from Russia during a global pandemic”, adding the face-palm emoji.
Daily Star Online have contacted a representative for Tommy and Molly for a comment.
On Molly’s 21st birthday, Tommy, also 21, surprised her with a designer carry case for her dog and other pet treats, leaving a handwritten note from the pooch that read: “Dear Mummy, I can’t wait to meet you in a few days.
“Until then have the best birthday and I know Daddy will be spoiling you rotten. Love you lots. Your son, Mr Chai.”
The couple have been dating since finding love on the ITV2 dating show last summer.
