“After a number of happy years together Max and I have decided to part ways. It was amicable and we’re both still friends.”

The breakup news comes just hours after it was announced that Mollie will be competing in the upcoming season of Dancing on Ice. Despite their recent breakup, sources revealed that Max Backwell plans to cheer on Pearce throughout her upcoming competition on Dancing on Ice.

The source stated,

Mollie met Max through her older brother, Sam. She has previously spoken about her experience dating while living with a stoma bag, highlighting how accepting and supportive Max has been. The disabled model expressed her admiration for him, stating,

“He doesn’t care about my stoma at all. He would stick a bag on his stomach on the beach if it made me feel better. I don’t think he even sees it at all. For him to go from not knowing anything about what one was to just accept a partner with one, I think he’s an amazing human.”

Who is Mollie Pearce?

Mollie Pearce is a disability model who was born with several fingers missing on her right hand. At the age of 18, she faced significant health challenges when she was fitted with a stoma bag.

The Traitors star suffered from ulcerative colitis, a condition that severely impacted her colon and overall quality of life.

This chronic illness began affecting her in childhood, ultimately leading to surgery that removed her colon and required her to adapt to life with a stoma bag permanently.

In her late teens, Mollie started her career as a disability model, aiming to promote inclusive representation and body positivity.

Since appearing on the reality show The Traitors, she has actively campaigned to raise awareness about stoma bags, sharing her experiences and travel tips with her followers on TikTok.

In February, Mollie expressed her desire to change perceptions surrounding stoma bags, stating,

“We look at it as something disgusting… I want to make people realise that it can have such a positive effect. It’s not a last resort or the worst thing in the world. I call mine Sid. You can even get jumpers for them; it’s cute.”

Mollie Pearce: From Traitors Finalist to Dancing On Ice Contestant

Mollie Pearce became well-known in January 2024 when she participated in the BBC One show The Traitors. She reached the finals of the competition.

However, during the final roundtable discussion, Mollie was unable to identify Harry as a Traitor. This mistake led to her losing the chance to win the £95,000 prize.

After the show, Mollie reflected on her experience and admitted,

“I think, deep down, I probably knew [Harry was a Traitor], but that slight doubt, I just couldn’t do it. It’s a tough one, but it is what it is.”

Recently, Harry Clark mentioned that he and Mollie are no longer close friends. He explained that they have naturally drifted apart due to their busy schedules.

He still keeps in touch with Paul Gorton but does not communicate much with the others from the show. He expressed good wishes for them, saying,

“I still wish them all the best.”

“Honestly, I still just can’t get my head around the fact that I’m going on Dancing On Ice. I have watched it since I was a little girl so it’s a full circle moment for me,”
