Love Island fans are leaping to the defense of Molly Marsh after she was accused of trying to be the new Molly-Mae Hague.
Molly-Mae rose to fame on series five alongside her now long-term partner Tommy Fury, and the two are both considered to be blonde sirens on their respective series.
But it was one thing in particular that drew ire from some fans, after Molly pulled out a teddy bear – reminding fans of Molly-Mae’s special teddy bear Ellie Belly that slept with her nightly.

“did that lass bring a teddy? girl it’s day one, don’t molly before you can mae,” penned a second, while a third added: “Not the teddy bear, molly really tryna molly mae rn.”
But fans immediately leaped to her defense, claiming that the comparisons were “ridiculous.”
“Molly Mae the only person allowed a teddy according to Twitter,” said one fan.

Elsewhere, Mitchel Taylor and Molly Marsh ignited sparks immediately as they shared their first passionate kiss in bed, mere hours after their initial meeting.

Fans, however, felt compelled to caution the fair-haired beauty.
Upon their arrival at the villa, the duo swiftly became a couple and wasted no time cozying up in the same bed on their very first night together.
Mitchel playfully expressed his desire for intimacy with Molly and she eagerly embraced the opportunity.
In a steamy scene captured on camera, the pair indulged in a passionate smooch.
Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: “Molly and Mitch are moving fast #LoveIsland”
Another added: “It’s been 24 hours Molly & Mitch, plss.”
A third person posted: “Molly is gonna get her heart broken just wait.”
While a fourth social media user agreed: “Molly is move too quickly man with #LoveIsland”
Molly and Mitchel later enjoyed another snog during a fairytale-themed challenge.
Gas engineer Mitchel previously admitted he is up for having sex in the villa even though his family will be watching.
Before entering the show, he said: “I’m quite close with my family and I’ve lived at home for a long time and dated girls in the past.
“My mum and dad have met them and all that stuff so this is not new ground.
“Plus, I think when I’m in the villa within two or three days I’ll totally forget the cameras are even there.”
