Molly-Mae Hague Wins NTA Authored Documentary Amid Viewer Backlash

Molly-Mae Hague won the National Television Award (NTA) for Authored Documentary with her six-part Prime Video series Molly-Mae: Behind It All, which chronicles her fashion brand launch following her split from professional boxer Tommy Fury. Her victory sparked widespread backlash from viewers who felt the documentary's subject matter was trivial compared to the other nominees, such as There's Only One Rob Burrow, Flintoff, and Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me, which tackled more serious and inspirational themes including illness and personal struggles. Many fans expressed outrage on social media, criticizing the decision as a disregard for the more powerful and emotional documentaries, especially the one about Rob Burrow, who died from MND. Despite the backlash, some viewers defended Molly-Mae, noting that the choice of nominees was not hers and praising her respectful acceptance speech that acknowledged the other nominees' work. Additionally, Molly-Mae experienced a wardrobe malfunction as she walked on stage, losing a shoe but maintained a lighthearted demeanor. The NTAs, determined by public vote, honored television achievements with the awards celebrating their milestone year.
