She announced she passed her driving test on Wednesday during her second attempt, after her first test left her ‘traumatised’ and in tears.

And Molly-Mae Hague celebrated finally being on the roads by heading for lunch with her best friend Maura Higgins at the Ivy in Manchester on Wednesday.

Molly-Mae cut a casual figure in a baggy tracksuit, which featured a sweatshirt with the words ‘sporty and rich’ embroidered on the front. 

The reality personality styled her look with a pair of cream trainers and slung a black handbag over her shoulder while stomping the streets of the northern city.

Molly-Mae was joined by Maura who mirrored her casual attire in a loose-fitting ivory sweatshirt, which she teamed with a pair of grey leggings and Yeezy sliders.

Maura opted for subtle touches of make-up but masked her face with a pair of oversized sunglasses, while wearing her hair in a half up half down style.

The reality personality, who appeared on the same season of the hit dating show as Molly-Mae, toted a Chanel bag and carried her phone and keys in her hand.

The two TV stars were seen hopping into a matte Mercedes G-Wagon after lunching at the swanky eatery.

Earlier in the day, Molly revealed she had decided to switch from a manual test to automatic after a disastrous experience the first time round. 

She proved the second time’s a charm as she took to social media to declare she now has a driving license while also claiming it marked the ‘happiest day’ of her life. 

Sharing a snap of her Practical Driving Test Pass certificate, Molly-Mae wrote on Instagram: ‘This is the happiest day of my life [heart emoji]. I literally can’t believe it.’ (sic)

The reality star also shared a candid snap from her vehicle as she rested her hand on her face, hiding her beaming smile. 

She continued: ‘I can’t stop smiling. This has been such a journey for me. I really never thought I would pass my test [stressed face emoji]. 

‘I was always such a nervous learner but the @thepasspeople were able to find me an amazing instructor who got me to this point! (I’ve had five instructors before) [uncomfortable and crying laughing emoji].

‘They also sorted a test out so soon [heart emoji] OVER THE MOON. [heart emoji]’. (sic)

It comes after Molly-Mae admitted last year that she had to pull over during her first driving test because she was crying so much. 

When asked by a follower if she can drive, Molly-Mae said on social media: ‘I had my first automatic lesson the other day.

‘I had manual lessons but I’m traumatised to this day from what happened on my manual test so never again.’

She continued: ‘Fuming that I have to retake my theory though because it was so long ago, I don’t wanna talk about it.’ (sic)

Molly-Mae went on to explain what happened during her first test to make it so stressful. 

She said: ‘Rolled backwards down a hill, hit a curb (badly), had to pull over the car because I basically cried my eyes out the whole way through.

‘It’s a day I don’t like to talk about. Nerves and me don’t go hand-in-hand’. (sic)
