Molly-Mae's sister in airport bust-up with passenger who mocked botched botox
Molly-Mae Hague's sister Zoe has opened up on a distressing moment when an airport passenger brutally mocked her appearance after she suffered a reaction to Botox Molly-Mae Hague 's sister has revealed she had a furious bust-up with a fellow airport goer who savagely mocked her. The former Love Island star's sister Zoe, 28, was the butt of the jokes for one airport passenger who took aim at her appearance. Zoe is suffering from a droopy eye after getting Botox. It's the second time in a year that she's suffered the mishap following the procedure. However, despite trying to cover up the issue with chunky sunglasses, Zoe removed them to share an "eye update" with her YouTube followers. In the clip, Zoe claimed it looks "a lot worse on camera" but admitted she doesn't know if that's just because she is now used to it. But she admitted the issue has caused problems for her, including an "upsetting" incident while heading to Portugal with pal Fern. "It's not been good. It's been causing me a lot of upset." she confessed while admitting she was glad it is "sunglasses season". Opening up on an unpleasant moment from the trip, Zoe expanded: "Just as we landed in Portugal, there was a queue going behind me and a horrible woman - I don't know if she was drunk, she must have been - was trying to get past me. "She's like, 'Why you just stood there like a d**khead?' And I was said, 'Why did you just call me that?'" Zoe explained how her husband then came over before they had a bit of "back and forth" about the whole scenario. She went on: "He looks at me and goes 'Sort your daft eye out, you c***'." Trying to make light of the situation, Zoe said it was just what she needed after trying to cover it up. "I could have got angry, I could have got upset but yeah fair enough, I couldn't agree more!" she continued. "But also just like, really just kick me when I'm down, you know? At least let the dust settle - give it another week and then maybe chuck some insults at me!" Last month, Zoe was on the verge of tears as she updated her fans on her failed procedure. It came after Zoe announced in February that she was experiencing the same symptom as a side effect of having Botox in her face. The symptom, known as ptosis, can occur if Botox passes into other tissues close to the eye muscles, according to NHS Highland. It suggests that the "temporary droopiness of the eyelid" may last for up to 3 weeks but "will always recover spontaneously". She said in the emotional updated in May: "Honestly guys I'm so sad. I'm literally so sad. I went to the same place but she was so so careful and she said that she didn't put it in the areas where it was gonna cause this ptosis. "It's worse than last time so that's great. I've had to cancel some things coming up this week. I had shoots. I had other bits to do but my eye is fully closed, pretty much." She went on: "Like, I actually could cry. It's my own fault I know it is. And like I know I said I wasn't going to get it again but I just [thought] like 'surely it can't happen again? Surely it's a one-off?'"
