Engagement post
Judi James says a post from Molly-Mae celebrating her engagement to Tommy Fury is 'more about people's perceptions' than the couple themselves
'It looks more about the brand and other people’s perceptions than about the couple themselves and her expression of surprise was probably not fooling anyone.
'It even looks as though they might have shot it in several takes. Molly deserved her own quiet moment with the man she loved, away from the cameras and social media.
'How many people are in this relationship here? Tommy, Molly, a film and lighting crew and several million followers.'

Tommy's latest post
Tommy's last post, showing him at Wimbledon, depicts him as 'more relaxed' and 'defiant'
'Tommy looks a little more relaxed posing by himself at Wimbledon and clearly more comfortable in a sporting arena.

'The cheesy grin has been replaced with a closed-lip smile and a slightly defiantly jutting chin.'
Molly's latest post
Molly's latest post is 'vulnerable' and suggests a 'desire to be liked or approved of'
'Molly’s pose here makes her looks sweet, girlish and slightly vulnerable.
'Her head tilt to camera suggests a desire to be liked or approved of and her smile involves an eye-smile and some rounding of the cheeks although she looks as though she could be struggling to apply a mouth-smile here.
'Her hands are held in a way to suggest some awkwardness or inner tension.'
