Love Island UK’s Tommy Fury Blames Alcohol for Molly-Mae Hague Split

Love Island UK‘s Tommy Fury sets the record straight what went wrong in his relationship with Molly-Mae Hague.

“As I broke up with Molly, so much if— has been in the papers every day for the last six months, but if it hasn’t come from my mouth or Molly’s mouth, it’s complete and utter bulls—,” said Fury, 25, Men’s Health UK in an interview published on Wednesday, January 15. “All I’ve been seeing for the last six months is, ‘Cheater!’ ‘He slept with me!’ ‘He slept with this girl, he slept with that girl!’ Complete and utter rip-offs.”

Instead, Fury explained that his mental health began to suffer after he sustained a boxing injury. As a way of coping, he self-medicated with alcohol.

“We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol and I couldn’t be the partner I wanted to be anymore,” she said. “It kills me to say it, but I couldn’t. I loved a pint of beer, loved drinking.”

Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague’s romance ended five years after they met in the Love Island UK villa. Fury, a professional boxer, was one of the first explosives of season 5, which aired in June 2019. After examining his connection with fellow competitor Lucie Donlan, Fury was drawn to The Hague several days later (…)

Fury made that clear cheating “was never a thing.” Instead, the issues in his relationship “was the drink, and the drink is not a good thing.”

“You need to get a hold of it,” he shared. “If you’re in the same place as me, where you think it’s going to cure all your problems, it doesn’t. You wake up even worse and you want to drink more to try to feel happy again. That’s the cycle of it.”

Fury and Hague, 25, fell in love while appearing on season 5 of Love Island UK in 2019. They got engaged in 2023, months after welcoming their daughter Bambi.

In August 2024, however, the couple postpone their engagement and they went their separate ways.

“Never in a million years did I think I’d have to write this,” Hauge wrote via his Instagram Story at the time. “After five years of being together, I never imagined our story would end, especially not like this. I am very sorry to announce that my relationship with Tommy has come to an end.”

In his latest interview, Fury said he wished more viewers were asked if there was more going on in his life after the split instead of jumping to conclusions.

“Not once did anyone ask how I was. I checked my inbox. Millions of messages in there, all negative,” he said. “I’m not looking for sympathy. Whether I do the right thing or do the wrong thing, people are still going to hate me. As long as my family loves me. I want to fight, earn my money and take care of my daughter.”
