Tommy Fury opens up on ‘tricky’ dynamic with Molly-Mae Hague over parenting

By in Entertainment News, News

Tommy Fury spoke about co-parenting his daughter Bambi with Molly-Mae Hague in the second episode of his new BBC Three series Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury

Former Love Island star Tommy Fury has revealed that he has a different approach to parenting compared to Molly-Mae Hague. He’s said that their daughter Bambi “knows she can’t get away” with anything when she’s with her mother.

The boxer, 26, spoke about being a parent in his reality TV show Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury, which launched on BBC Three earlier tonight. In the second episode, filmed towards the end of last year following his split from Molly-Mae, now 26, he opened up about co-parenting whilst living separately from the content creator and Bambi, now two.

Tommy, who has since reconciled with Molly-Mae, said that it had proved “tricky” to co-parent since she moved out of the home they shared with their daughter. He then teased that Molly-Mae offered more discipline as a parent than him.

Amid scenes of Bambi staying at Tommy’s house with him, he said on the show: “Obviously it’s tricky because Molly’s at her house and I’m here at the minute. When Bambi’s here, it’s all me, and when she’s there, it’s all her, so it is tricky.”

Tommy continued by saying: “I’m wrapped around her little finger ten times so I’ll literally do anything for her. But at least with Molly she knows she can’t get away with it But with me, she definitely can. She can get away with murder.”

The release of the episode comes after Molly-Mae has spoken about challenges as a parent in recent months, with her suggesting recently that Bambi is “testing boundaries” at the moment. She was seen in tears in one vlog, released last month.

She told fans at the time: “I feel like I need to keep my camera running all day so you guys like actually just see … it’s like every single thing is a huge problem. Like [Bambi is] screams and can’t even get like socks and shoes on.”

Molly-Mae also addressed the suggestion that she’s “out of touch,” after complaining about struggling with parenting lately, in the same vlog. She said: “I don’t care who tells me I’m out of touch with reality or like all this stuff that’s going on on TikTok at the minute. […] I don’t care like I’m not gonna not talk about it.”

In the second episode of his show, Tommy also spoke about hoping to live with Molly-Mae and Bambi again in the future. He said: “You just dream of one day, y’know, them coming back and the house to be filled with joy again. Y’know, I hope that one day everything can sort itself out and we can live here as a family again.”

And in the first episode, Tommy spoke about them having moved out as he once again dismissed previous speculation that cheating had led to him splitting up from Molly-Mae. He said: “The reason for our end in the relationship was alcohol.” He said that he had been “drinking a lot” whilst unable to train after injuring one of his hands.

Tommy later said that he didn’t expect Molly-Mae to leave him. He went on to say that he was “drunk” when his fiancée and Bambi left their home, adding: “So I don’t actually remember it that well, which was even more upsetting.”

Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury continues on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer next Tuesday from 9pm. The first six episodes are available through BBC iPlayer now.

Princess Andre explains why she’s not called her mum amid alleged ‘feud’

By in Entertainment News, News

Talking with her mother Katie Price about why she chose to not be invited to her daughter’s birthday party has become a topic of conversation for Princess Andre, which has reportedly fueled a feud.

Princess Andre has declared that it’s ‘not worth’ speaking to her mother Katie Price amid their supposed feud. The reality star, 18, is the daughter of showbiz legend Katie and her ex-husband Peter Andre.

With her ITV2 show The Princess Diaries, she launched a media career this year, even though Peter was heavily involved. Katie was only able to be heard on the phone, not anywhere else. After Katie claimed she wasn’t invited to Princess’ 18th party, her absence amid the publicity campaign has sparked rumors of a fight between the two.

But when it was put to Princess that she should simply call her mother to sort things out after Katie’s comments, she said ‘it’s not worth it’ as she told The Guardian: “Mum can be annoyed about something and then we send each other a message and we’re fine.”

Katie and Peter famously met on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004, and married the following year but split in 2009. Asked why her parents did not appear together on her programme, Princess suggested that was never on the cards as she said: “They don’t like each other. It would be quite strange for my mum and dad to be in it at the same time, just because that’s never been the case in my life since they split up.”

When it was suggested to Princess that having parents was ‘not easy’, she replied: “No. Especially divorced parents.” It comes after Katie, 47, slammed those producing their daughter Princess’s debut reality TV series and she had urged Peter to sit down to end their feud. But in a fierce Instagram post that came shortly after, Peter said: “For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today.”

“I must set the record straight about the most recent comments about my children’s welfare and living conditions. Junior and Princess were placed with me until they were adults in 2018 for well-known reasons and for their safety. The family courts formally imposed this arrangement on the family courts in 2019. Out of respect for my children, I’ve never made this public.

My ex-wife’s false claims were discovered in publicly documented court cases in 2011 and 2015, respectively. She was ordered to apologize to me and my management and pay substantial damages and legal costs. Today, the same lies are being made. Unfortunately, I haven’t yet addressed any of the lies and false accusations I have heard. In the upcoming months, those will now be addressed.

In response to this, Katie issued a statement and told the Mirror: “Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation, this was in the past and she doesn’t feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she’s dealing with this the right way and it’s now in her lawyers hands. Kate will no longer be gaslight [sic] and bullied as she once was…”

‘Life comes quickly at Martin as Rangers humbled’

By in News, Sports News

BBC Scotland’s chief sports writer at Ibrox

Forty minutes into Rangers’ mortifying night at Ibrox, Djeidi Gassama won a corner at the Broomloan Stand end and his manager, Russell Martin, applauded on the sideline. The sound of one man clapping was deafening.

Rangers trailed 3-0 at the time, there had been multiple outbreaks of booing and scores of people had already headed home.

When Ibrox turns on its own like this, there’s a temptation to put in the earplugs and don the crash helmet. It ain’t pretty.

It’s as visceral as it gets; loud and vicious, words coming like blades, capable of cutting their target in half. A corner might have done it for the manager, but it wasn’t doing it for the masses.

This was in the post, though. Under Martin, Rangers have one way of playing and stout defending isn’t a part of it. Not yet at any rate.

Caution is thrown to the wind. Everybody is on the front foot. There’s little midfield or defensive discipline, none of the cynicism that you need, little of the physical strength and none of the commanding authority.

They could have shipped five or six in this game.

Rangers had negotiated ties with Panathinaikos and Viktoria Plzen in previous weeks and, while there was praise for getting through, the realists weren’t blind to the luck they experienced along the way.

‘Rangers are catastrophe at the back’

Their offensive stuff had been good – very good at times – but what about the rest?

Could Rangers afford to give up so many chances to Brugge, a club that has sold around £70m worth of talent this summer but an outfit that retains enough slick operators to punish slapstick defending?

No, came the answer after three minutes when Nasser Djiga – back to life after playing dead in the build-up to Alloa’s first goal in the League Cup last weekend – downed tools and let Romeo Vermant away from him to brilliantly lob Jack Butland.

Djiga might improve. He’s an athlete, he’s powerful, he’s capable of more. He’s also guilty of lying down on the job when Alloa suckered his team – unforgiveable – and was culpable again, in the most eye-popping way, when assuming that his goalkeeper was going to come out to meet and deal with Vermant.

Club Brugge scored three times in the first 20 minutesSNS

No, came the answer again after seven minutes when Jorne Spileers, untroubled by a blue jersey in his midst, side-footed home from a corner. These were the kinds of moments that Rangers survived in previous games. Not now.

And no came the answer again after 20 minutes when Rangers failed with two attempts to clear their box, a hesitancy and incompetence that saw Brandon Michele rifle a third past Butland.

At that point, the only prayers that could have been offered up on Rangers’ behalf would have given thanks to the man above that this team was not going any further in this Champions League.

That it was going to be spared any further humiliation at the hands of Europe’s biggest guns, a lucky escape that was denied one of Martin’s predecessor’s, Giovanni van Bronckhorst – and he lost his job on the back of it.

That Rangers, so early in whatever it is that Martin is trying to do, are not ready for Champions League football is obvious.

They are a burgeoning team in terms of goal threat and have, undoubtedly, discovered a player in Gassama, but they’re a catastrophe at the back. In his brief time in charge, Martin has taken a weak defence, signed loads of players and has somehow made it weaker.

In pulling a goal back in the second half, and almost making it two, they showed the best side of themselves.

Have some made up minds on Martin?

To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

You’d need to be a person of unshakeable faith, laced with a glorious delusion, to think that Rangers, with all their defensive vulnerabilities, are going to turn this around in Belgium next week.

Martin’s refusal to adapt while manager of Southampton does not augur well.

He needs to alter his thinking in the way he sets up his team – Brendan Rodgers did it in Europe last season after Celtic’s 7-1 shellacking by Borussia Dortmund – but there are few signs that he’s willing to do that.

But he must or those boos we heard in the first half will grow, those doubts that Rangers folk have about him will harden, and his life will get even more difficult.

He retains a positivity and a belief. Good on him. Life has thrown a lot at Martin and resilience is built into him. He’s going to need every bit of mental strength in the bearpit he now resides in.

Rangers have a brutal run of fixtures now – St Mirren away, Brugge away, Celtic at home, Hearts at home, Hibs at home. All of those sides – not just Brugge and Celtic – are capable of feasting on their frailties.

Martin needs to get through relatively unscathed, starting at St Mirren, a nuggety team built in the image of their smart and tough manager, Stephen Robinson.

Football in Glasgow comes at you quickly. Martin knew the truth of that in his brief time as a Rangers player and he certainly knows it now as manager.

At least 71 die in bus crash involving Afghans deported from Iran

By in News, World News

According to provincial government spokesman Ahmadullah Muttaqi and local police, at least 71 people have died in western Afghanistan as a result of a passenger bus carrying refugees who had recently been deported from neighboring Iran collided with a truck and motorcycle.

Police in Herat province claimed on Tuesday that the bus’s “excessive speed and negligence” was to blame.

The Afghans who have been deported or forced out of Iran in recent months are among a large number.

The accident occurred one day after Eskandar Momeni, the country’s interior minister, declared that 800,000 people would have to leave by the end of March.

Afghans who had recently left Iran and were headed for Kabul, according to provincial official Mohammad Yousuf Saeedi, who spoke to the AFP news agency on Tuesday. He added that all of the passengers climbed into the border crossing point in Islam Qala.

Zabihullah Mujahid, the head of the Taliban government, confirmed to the dpa news agency that the victims had been deported from Iran, but added that no additional information was available at this time.

A motorcycle was also involved, according to police in the Guzara district outside the city of Herat, Afghanistan.

The majority of the fatalities occurred on the bus, but two other fatalities occurred in the truck as well as two more fatalities occurred on motorcycles.

Afghanistan’s high rate of traffic accidents is largely attributable to its lack of regulation, hazardous driving on highways, and decades of war-torn roads.

At least 52 people were killed in two bus accidents in central Afghanistan last December, which involved a truck and a fuel tanker.

Numerous Afghans travel to Iran each year without obtaining a visa due to conflict, persecution, poverty, and high unemployment. Many people work in low-wage jobs in large cities, including on construction sites, where their labor is regarded as cheap and trustworthy.

Since Iran’s undocumented refugee status expires on July 6th, nearly 450, 000 Afghans have returned from Iran, according to the UNHCR.

As the impoverished country, which has been under hardline Taliban rule since 2021, struggles to integrate waves of returnees from Pakistan and Iran since 2023, in the midst of one of the worst humanitarian crises in history.

More than 1.4 million people have “returned or been forced to return to Afghanistan” this year alone, according to the UNHCR. Parmi the roughly 6 million Afghan residents that Tehran claims, Iran’s late May directive has potential to affect 4 million undocumented Afghans.

Cardiff fear for ‘pretty serious’ Tanner injury

After recovering from an ankle injury in their 1-0 win at AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday night, Cardiff City fear that winger Ollie Tanner could spend a long time on the sidelines.

Just before half-time, the 23-year-old collided with an advertising board and was forced to be carried off. He has just recently signed a new four-year contract.

According to Cardiff head coach Brian Barry-Murphy, “It was an ankle injury, it didn’t look like a good incident, and it looks pretty serious.”

He’s currently on crutches and will be going to the hospital, but we’ll scan it tomorrow [Wednesday] and reevaluate it.

Tanner suffered injuries in a goal kick exit attempt.

He may regret going for the ball at this point, according to Barry-Murphy, but that’s because a player of his qualities has the natural instinct to go for the ball and never give up, he said.

“From this moment onwards, we’ll look forward to helping Ollie in every way we can and ensuring he has a quick recovery to get back as soon as possible,” said the statement. “There’s no point looking back.
