Who the hell is “Molly-Mae?” Because I’m sick and tired of seeing her doing her laundry!

I got into watching classic coronation street on ITV X and due to being ill with a kidney infection I’ve been watching tv in bed the last few days.

It seems every ad break Molly Mae is popping up on “laundry day” (seriously? 🤔) and I thought she was a child at first until she talks about “Bambi’s clothes”. I was completely confused by this until I realised she must be old enough to have had a child and named her after a cartoon fawn whose mother was murdered which seems a bit questionable.

I don’t know why it annoys me that much (maybe over exposure) but it’s making me want to smash up my TV 😂.
The way she sniffs her washing before proclaiming “that could do with a wash” why else would it be in your laundry basket?!
The rest of the clothes she puts in look clean and I’m wondering if it’s just because doing laundry is her “current obsession”.

I have no idea who she is but I’m guessing some kind of influencer, is this a way to get kids and teens to hassle parents to buy washing detergent on top of everything else they ask for? Does anyone else have “go-to” washing detergent or do they not just buy what’s on offer like I assumed everyone did?
I know it’s a bit mean to say but she has such an annoying voice and is unconvincing at even doing her washing so I doubt she would have a career in acting. I turned the tv off to get a break from her and had a rare scroll on social media and there she was again doing her washing with a pal this time 🙈.

I wish they would at least show different adverts on catch up tv, am I the only one to get this wound up over irritating ones?
The foxy bingo one is another that’s in constant rotation with another woman with an annoying voice over.

I swear I’m losing all tolerance as I get older and finding I get wound up over the smallest things, is this normal?

I was going to post on AIBU but I suspected some people would take me seriously and start the usual nonsense about trying to diagnose me with mental health issues or the people with genuine anger issues would start laying into me. It was either that or asking if I’m quite alright or on glue.
I suppose I best add a disclaimer that this was a lighthearted rant and I’m not throwing rocks at my tv in a fit of rage about an advert - no matter how annoying it is.

I agree, she is annoying. She is also a DV survivor though from her relationship with Tommy Fury. Got famous on love Island, pretty much so did Tommy as his dad is the fighter and haven't heard much of him since

But yeah, she has that annoying "influencer" thing about her. She annoys me but she isn't as bad as the rest.

There are no credible reports of Tommy Fury being involved in domestic violence… However, there are reports about Tommy Fury’s alcoholism

YABU - I don't think her advert even comes in the top ten of worst adverts currently on TV. Pee pants, dioreeeaah, the insurance ad with the couple going to MEXico, Pure creation,direct cremation, selling your old gold, the advert for loo roll where the entire fucking school get involved.
Then there's all the Christmas adverts. The Verisure ones also annoy me - any that have stupid wingeing voices.
Though there have been some great comments on this thread, my favourite is Always keep away from children

Been ‘seen’ there and now it’s full of wannabes taking photos and clogging it up while I’m trying to grab my overpriced bacon 🙄

Is that the £50 farm shop near Delamere?

I’m in my 50s and love Molly-Mae but what does annoy me is this idea that your laundry needs to smell of some acrid wretch-making ‘scent’ rather than it just being clean.

These products have proliferated because more people are washing at unhygenically low temperatures and the final result is minging and bacteria riddled clothes that stink. So the real answer is to wash properly rather than buying costly and cleverly marketed eco disaster products like “scent boosters”.

I just like the smell of it, it’s not that deep
wash at all decent temp with bio powder and a bit of the scent booster. Never use fabric conditioner
if the bio powder came in that same scent I would use that instead
