Molly-Mae Hague denies Tommy Fury break-up and documentary are ‘publicity stunt’

Former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague has denied her break-up with Tommy Fury and subsequent documentary are a “publicity stunt”, saying she is “frustrated” by the accusations.

The 25-year-old was speaking at the launch of her new fly-on-the-wall Prime Video documentary series Molly-Mae: Behind It All – which will launch on Friday, featuring intimate footage of her break-up with fellow former Love Island contestant turned boxer Fury, also 25.

Responding to “publicity stunt” accusations, Hague said: “I think that for me, above everything, has been the most frustrating part, because I actually say in the documentary, ‘I wish it was a publicity stunt’, because it’d be a lot easier.

“Because going through all of this with the turmoil of a break-up has been incredibly hard, to have those comments, and I do see the comments, I see all of them.

“People say, ‘oh, this has obviously just been done for long term brand or a publicity stunt’, that is very painful, because it’s real life.

“Tommy and I have a baby together, and it’s very, very real, and it’s a really hard thing that we’ve both gone through the last six months.

“I wish it wasn’t, because it would have been a lot easier, but it isn’t.

“I think this documentary will clear up any impressions of that, you see the real side to it, it’s kind of like you’re a fly on the wall.

“And like I say, I think people are going to be quite, not shocked, but I think they’ll be quite surprised by how honest we’ve been.”

The star, who runs her own fashion brand Maebe, also addressed pictures of her allegedly kissing Fury on New Year’s Eve last year, which featured in a number of tabloids, after the pair had supposedly split up.

Asked about the images, she replied: “We are navigating a really complicated time in both of our lives, in the public eye, and I think this is a whole new territory for me.

“Obviously my relationship has always been in the public eye, but to deal with this break-up with millions of eyes watching, it is hard, and it is complicated.

“And I think the reason why I don’t comment on it, and why I don’t speak about it on my YouTube, or publicly is because simply, we are both navigating it ourselves, and we both are figuring it out as adults and as parents, we’re doing the best we can.

“But I really do feel like the documentary is going to answer a lot of questions, and we also do touch on that situation, because I think the last thing I want is any confusion, and I don’t ever want people to feel confused by what’s going on, so we will try to explain.”

Hague joked that she felt the release of her documentary “should be given as a bank holiday”, saying she felt she owed her fans “honesty” in the show as “that is my job, my life is online”.

She concluded: “It does discuss the break-up, and we’re very honest in what we share with the break-up, but it’s so much more than a break-up documentary.

“It focuses on parts of my life that I haven’t really delved into before.

“At the minute, we’re still filming, but we touch on lots of stuff like motherhood, we talk about body confidence, running my two businesses, and just doing all of that while having a two-year-old and navigating through a break-up has been a really challenging time.”

Episodes one to three of Molly-Mae: Behind It All are to launch exclusively on Prime Video on January 17, with the last three episodes dropping in spring 2025.
