Tommy Fury 'ditched perfect gentleman act' when questioned over Molly-Mae split on Loose Women
Tommy Fury appeared "embarrassed" when the Loose Women panellists quizzed him over his break-up from Molly-Mae Hague, a body language expert has claimed. The professional boxer was interviewed on the ITV daytime show on Tuesday, 12 November, as he opened up about being a father and co-parenting with his ex-fiancée.
The Love Island boxer, 25, was keen not to divulge any details about his and Molly's split, with the pair having kept the reasons behind their break-up under wraps. He chatted to Loose Women stars Ruth Langsford, Nadia Sawalha, Katie Piper and Linda Robson about his and Molly's daughter Bambi, one, before saying he wants to keep "everything private" about his relationship with Molly, 25.
"I don’t listen to anything in the press and on 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," Tommy told the panellists.

Host Ruth attempted to probe him about his and Molly's split, but he was keen to keep quiet. Body language expert Judi James revealed Tommy was trying to keep up his image as the "perfect gentleman" while using numerous "cliches" to respond to questions about his break-up.
Judi told The Sun: “Tommy sat in a modestly self-diminished pose between the Loose Women to suggest he is still the 'perfect gentleman' from his Love Island days and his weapon of choice was a fist load of cliches, especially 'it is what it is', or 'no good crying over spilt milk', which came with a shrug of one shoulder, to avoid describing any emotional responses."
She added: “When Ruth threw out the word 'recently...' though, Tommy's body language hunkered in as though he was deflecting blows in the ring, clearly guessing what was coming. He registered embarrassment and a desire to avoid by suddenly looking down in an eye cut-off (the eyes are always the key give-away of the emotions) and he sucked his lips inward to show a lack of desire to talk.”
Tommy and Molly announced their split earlier this year after five years together. The couple met on Love Island in 2019 and quickly fell for one another, going on to come in second place on the dating show. They welcomed their first child, Bambi, in January 2023 and months later Tommy proposed to influencer Molly, with the duo planning to tie the knot in 2025 before their sudden split.
