Molly Mae Hague has revealed that her relationship with ex-fiancé Tommy Fury is "complicated" - on the same day he revealed their split was caused by his alcohol issues.

The couple, who met on Love Island in 2019, have became the most famous romance from the ITV series. However, after they got engaged and had their daughter Bambi, they split last August amidst rumours Tommy had cheated - something he has always denied.

The story so far will be played out on screen from tomorrow In a new Prime documentary, released just two weeks after the pair reconciled and enjoyed a kiss at a New Year's Eve party in a sign they could be getting back together, reports the Mirror.

Asked about the kiss and hinting at the current state of their relationship, Molly-Mae, 25, said: "I think it's just, 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. Tommy and I's relationship, It's always been in the public eye always, but to deal with this breakup 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 both are navigating it ourselves, and we both are figuring it out as adults and as parents, and yeah, we're doing the best we can.

"But I really do feel like the documentary is gonna answer a lot of questions, and we also do touch on that situation. The last thing I want is any confusion. And I don't ever want people to feel confused by things that are going on. So, yeah, we've tried to explain things as best we can."

As Molly-Mae was saying this while launching her new series in London, a new interview was being released by Tommy, 25, on the Men's Health UK YouTube channel(PLS REF), owning up to some of his own faults.

He said: “All I've been seeing for the past six months, ‘Cheater!’, ‘He slept with me!’, ‘He slept with this girl, he slept with that girl!’ Complete and utter b*llocks.

"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…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 just wake up even worse and you want to drink more to try and feel happy again. That's the cycle of it.”

The younger brother of former world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury also explained the drinking had started when he could no longer box. He said he would still get up early to play and feed Bambi but at other times when he used to train he would hit the bottle.

“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 and centre and then later on in the night shots would come out. Most nights I would drink to get blackout drunk. I think that's what really took its toll on me.”

Tommy's behaviour also took its toll of his relationship with Molly-Mae and in contrast to his messy nights out, she launched her Prime series in a posh London hotel speaking on a stage in the middle of two vases each containing white roses with a team of 20 people on hand including stylists, bodyguards, manager and of course a team filming her every move for her series and her eight million Instagram followers.

Hitting back at criticism around the new series and claims her split with Tommy has been fake, she said: "I think that for me, above everything, has been the most frustrating part. I actually say in the documentary 'I wish it was a publicity stuff' because it'd be a lot easier, because going through all of this with the turmoil and the breakup 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."

She added: "It's definitely so much more than a breakup documentary, obviously, we do talk about the breakup, it does discuss the breakup, and we're very honest in what we share with the breakup. But it's so much more than a regular 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."

* Molly-Mae: Behind It All eps 1-3 launch exclusively on Prime Video tomorrow(January 17). The latter three episodes will drop in Spring 2025.
