A businessman who partnered with influencer Molly-Mae Hague to launch a fake tan brand has stepped down as the company’s director.

George Gazzard no longer holds the position at Filter by Molly-Mae, which was established in 2019, according to a document filed with Companies House.

Filter by Molly-Mae is registered at Liverpool’s Royal Liver Building while the influencer is now the company’s sole director.

The move comes after the businessman’s Catalyst Global, which he co-founded, entered liquidation in September.

Documents filed with Companies House show the company owed money to a number of celebrities when it collapsed.

They include former TOWIE star Mark Wright’s fitness app Train Wright which was owed more than £20,000 as well as Keith Lemon’s YMS Apparel which was owed over £2,400.

Catalyst Global had previously partnered with Tom Daley to launch his Made With Love knitwear brand.

Overall, 79 individuals and companies were owed more than £548,000 when Catalyst Global entered liquidation.
