Tommy Fury addresses Molly-Mae Hague cheating allegations and real reason for their split

Tommy Fury has addressed rumours that he cheated on former fiancee Molly-Mae Hague while revealing the real reason for their split.

The pair met on Love Island in 2019 and embarked on a romantic relationship, before having a daughter, Bambi, together.

Having been engaged for more than a year, in August they announced they had separated after five years - with both issuing statements on the matter.

After their break-up, rumours circulated that Fury had been unfaithful to Molly-Mae but the boxer branded the claims "completely false" in an interview with the Daily Mail.

Fury, who is 10-0 in professional boxing, took part in an in-depth interview with Men's Health and again refuted suggestions that he cheated.

However, the 25-year-old, brother of former world heavyweight champion, has revealed that he and Molly-Mae ended their relationship due to him having a drinking problem which would see him get "black-out drunk" on "most nights".

He said: "With my breakup with Molly, there's been so much s**t in the papers every single day for the past six months, but if it's not come from my mouth or Molly's mouth, it's complete and utter bulls**t.

"All I've been seeing for the past six months is ‘Cheater!’, ‘He slept with me!’, ‘He slept with this girl, he slept with that girl!’ Complete and utter bollocks. We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be anymore. It kills me to say it, but I couldn't. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink.

"Cheating was never a thing. You can ask Molly this yourself. It was the drink, and the drink is not a good thing. You need to get a grip of it. If you're in the same spot as me, where you just think that it's going to cure all your problems, it doesn’t. You wake up even worse and you want to drink more to try and feel happy again. That's the cycle of it."

Fury explained that he would not get up every morning for binge sessions but he craved the endorphins he got from finishing a sparring session or competing in front of large crowds.

He added: "It’s not like I’d get up in the morning and start drinking, but rather than sit in bed all day and fester, I’d think, why not go out? Where I'd normally be in camp, I’d just be smashing Guinness left, right and centre, then later on in the night shots would come out."

Even though he had been out the night before, Fury would still go about his same route in doing things with his baby - getting up early to feed her before taking her to activities like swimming, ballet and soft play.

Because of this, he was able to hide the drinking problem and not many people picked up on it.

Fury continued: "But being a father, I didn't care how bad I felt in the morning or how rough I was, I'd be up at quarter past seven, waking the baby up, giving her a breakfast, making her breakfast, taking her to soft play, taking her to swimming, taking her to baby ballet. It was still very important for me while I was going through this stage to be like, okay, "I want everything to be the same in her life. I was big on keeping her routine the same. That's why nobody really clocked on, because during the day the normality was still there."
