Former Love Island star Tommy Fury has opened up about his split from Molly-Mae Hague and their daughter Bambi after he faced questions on Loose Women

Tommy Fury was left feeling awkward as he was grilled over his split with Molly-Mae Hague after he stressed he had no desire to speak about it.

The professional boxer was appearing on Loose Women on Tuesday when host Ruth Langsford pressed him on the subject as appeared on the show to promote his book Lightning Can Strike Twice: My Life as a Fury. Ruth, 64, sympathised with Tommy over his breakup referring to her own relationship ending as she admitted that she knows how it feels to have your private life made public.

Ruth then asked how Tommy and Molly-Mae are coping with co-parenting their daughter Bambi, two. She said: “Obviously, nobody could have missed the story that you and Molly-Mae had sadly broken up, we were all very sad to read that because we had all followed this wonderful love story of the two of you on Love Island.”

She added: “You haven’t written about it in your book, because they delayed the publication of the book for you to write this last chapter. And you’ve said you don’t want to go into detail about it, but how are the two of you doing? And you’re obviously co-parenting Bambi and it’s a tricky time.”

Ruth added: “As I know going through these things in public, you know, everyone’s got something to say, without knowing the truth.” Tommy looked totally unimpressed by Ruth’s line of questioning as he said: “Yeah they really do, and that’s been the overall thing the past few months you know I don’t listen to anything in the press and social media because its all, that’s one story, very apart from the real story, and like I said moving forward.

“Everyone is entitled to a private life and me and Molly we got together when we was very young. And we just think going forward everything should be private now because everyone is entitled to that and that’s what I want. Not only for me but for Bambi as well, for her sake.”

Tommy also raved about Bambi as he confessed she has already got him wrapped around her finger. He said: “She’s got me round her finger already. She’s the light of my day. As long as I have her in my life that’s all that matters.”

John served an 11-year sentence for the crime with Tommy admitting life was tough for him growing up as a result. He said: “It was a tough time I was around about nine or 10, and those are the years you start doing more with your dad but that wasn’t the case for me.”
