LOVE Island star Molly-Mae Hague broke down in tears tonight as she spoke about the shock death of her puppy Mr Chai.
The 21-year-old YouTuber – who was given the dog as a birthday present last week – shared the devastating news that he had died on Instagram today.
She posted a YouTube video tonight after the dog’s autopsy results arrived, hitting out at people saying she bought the Pomeranian as a social media ‘accessory’.
Molly-Mae said: “People that are saying we bought him for Instagram likes, please stop saying that.
“Our lives are on social media, my full-time job is to show you guys what I’m doing. If I didn’t have Instagram, he wouldn’t be on Instagram.
“We’re not asking for any kind of sympathy. What’s happened is awful. I’m asking you to understand that the dog travelling from Russia is not the reason he died.”
Mr Chai became a social media sensation in his short life, quickly achieving ‘influencer’ status after 150,000 people followed the account set up for him on Instagram.
