Sex drive: The Love Island star, 24, then revealed that her fiancé Tommy Fury, with whom she shares daughter Bambi, found it “uncomfortable”.
“Tommy wasn’t – when I was pregnant he thought it was a bit strange. “And that’s fine, some men do that,” to which Zoe confessed: “I think I probably would.”
Molly added: “Some men are really into it.” [sex when their partner is pregnant] or become some partners… Tommy found the idea of Bambi being in there and me being here rather unpleasant. “It was just a little strange.”
Zoe said: “I think low sex drive is far more common in women than you think.”
“Of course, talk to your partner about it…” before Molly continued: “I remember when I was pregnant and I wanted to have sex all the time and Tommy wouldn’t have it. I thought, ‘Oh, don’t you find me attractive?’ ‘
“But I always say to Tommy when I’m not feeling it, ‘It’s nothing to do with you, it’s my problem.’
Molly Mae-Hague has always been open about her sex life with Tommy, previously telling her followers it was “non-existent” due to her battle with “excruciating” endometriosis.
The entrepreneur wrote about her struggle in her new book, Becoming Molly-Mae, and said some of her health issues came to the fore while she was dating Tommy.
With endometriosis, tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows in various organs of the body.
Molly-Mae said: “One thing I would like to add is when I was pregnant my sex drive went through the roof.”
Tissue accumulation may be minimal, but in the most painful and severe cases, scarring may occur connecting the organs together because the cells take time to leave the body after thickening during the menstrual cycle.
Molly-Mae, who was signing copies of her book at the Trafford Center on Monday, wrote: ‘Before I was with Tommy I hadn’t really had sex so I didn’t think there were any problems other than my period pains.’
But she said: “I was in terrible pain – I literally felt like I had been stabbed in the stomach – just terrible.” And it caused me so many problems.
“Big TMI! But my sex life just didn’t exist anymore: it just wasn’t part of our relationship.”
Back in March, Molly-Mae admitted she thought she was going to die and almost called an ambulance several times during her period.
The influencer explained that she found the nights particularly difficult and feared she “wouldn’t wake up” due to the excruciating pain.
She said: “I almost called an ambulance several times due to the severe pain I was in.”

“It got so bad, I was tossing and turning in bed and was actually afraid for my life because I thought my body was in so much pain. What is he going through?”
“I used to literally lay there and think, ‘Will I see in the morning?’ I was actually in so much pain that I was afraid I wouldn’t wake up in the morning. It was so terrible.’
“Before, Tommy didn’t even know what to do with me, he always looked at me like, ‘I don’t know what to do’.”
The former Love Islander spoke about her diagnosis for the first time last year and bravely showed off scars from operations she had undergone to ease her symptoms.
What is Endometriosis? How the disorder leads to pelvic pain and internal scarring
Endometriosis is an often painful condition in which tissue that resembles the lining of the womb – the endometrium – grows outside the uterus.
The most commonly affected areas are the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining the pelvis.
The main symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain, although many women also experience cramping during their menstrual cycle.
Symptoms also include painful periods, pain during intercourse, pain during bowel movements or urination, inflammation, excessive bleeding and infertility.
Many women are often misdiagnosed and only realize they have this condition during infertility treatment.
About half of women diagnosed with endometriosis have difficulty becoming pregnant.
While studies on the connection between endometriosis and miscarriage are still ongoing, recent research suggests that the condition may put those affected at a higher risk of miscarriage.
