Charleen Murphy gets support from Molly-Mae Hague after Love Island exit

Dublin influencer Charleen Murphy, a recent contestant on Love Island, said former finalist Molly-Mae Hague privately messaged her to offer encouragement after Murphy faced online abuse sparked by a viral meme comparing the two women. Murphy described the backlash as hurtful but appreciated Hague’s note, which read, “I hope you’re okay, don’t mind them.”

Murphy also reflected on her abrupt departure from the villa, explaining that she was dumped after her partner Kavan Murphy recoupled with Jasmine Müller. She called the experience “whiplash,” noted the programme’s welfare support, and shared behind‑the‑scenes details such as the meals served and the intensity of villa life.
