The Love Island alumna didn't hold back when talking to Patricia about the malicious messages she receives online.
Molly-Mae revealed that strangers send her DMs shaming her body and she often replies to put them on the spot, she said: "Sometimes I'll actually reply to people that send horrifying DMs.
"I'll just message back and be like – 'What made you wanna send this DM to me?'."
The 22-year-old business mogul went on to expose how quick the trolls are to backtrack: "And then they'll probably be like, 'Oh my gosh. Molly-Mae I can't believe you replied. Love you.'"
Pointing out the bizarre nature of the messages, Molly said: "Insane to think that these people were actually just trying to get a rise out of you.
"They're trying to get you to reply by sending you a foul message."
The reality TV star told the host that it gives her a "little kick" to shock the haters with her replies.

"This person will never think I'm probably gonna even see this message."
The mega-influencer left the interview with a poignant message pointing out the importance of realising how your words affect others: "I have seen it and I want to see how they feel now they know that I've seen the message of them calling me fat."
