Molly-Mae Hague laughed and joked with her gal pals while shopping in Manchester on Friday, before the smile was wiped away by getting a parking ticket. 

The former Love Island star, 22, could be seen toting a nylon blue £1,750 Balenciaga neo classic handbag as she strutted along the pavement. 

Returning to her Range Rover, worth £32,000 new, she found a yellow slip holding a fine waiting for her on the windscreen.

According to Trafford Council, a penalty charge for parking fines have a maximum amount of either £50 or £70 that can be reduced by 50 per cent if the fine is paid within 14 days.

Despite the sour news, Molly-Mae looked radiant on her shopping trip sporting a chic navy coat to protect herself from the wintery weather.

She completed her outfit with a retro full tracksuit and a pair of stylish trainers.

Molly-Mae also received a parking ticket in August last year while out shopping in Manchester City Centre.

The Instagram influencer passed her driving test in May on her second attempt, after her first test left her ‘traumatised’ and in tears.

Molly-Mae decided to switch from a manual test to automatic after a disastrous experience the first time round.

And she proved that the second time’s a charm as she took to social media to declare she earned her driving license while also claiming it marked the ‘happiest day’ of her life.

The outing also comes after Molly-Mae sparked significant online backlash when she made comments about wealth inequality during a podcast interview in December.

The businesswoman said: ‘You’re given one life and it’s down to you what you do with it. You can literally go in any direction.

‘When I’ve spoken about that in the past I have been slammed a little bit, with people saying ”it’s easy for you to say that because you’ve not grown up in poverty, so for you to sit there and say we all have the same 24 hours in a day is not correct.” But, technically, what I’m saying is correct. We do.’

She went on: ‘I understand we all have different backgrounds and we’re all raised in different ways and we do have different financial situations, but I think if you want something enough you can achieve it.

‘It just depends on what lengths you want to go to get where you want to be in the future. And I’ll go to any length.’ She then added: ‘I’ve worked my absolute a**e off to get where I am now.’
