Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury may have found a forever home. If fans overlook the nine-month period during which they split, the Love Island stars have a fairytale romance since they first met on the ITV reality show in 2019.
With his evolving YouTube channel, boxer Tommy, 26, has been strengthening his influence. And he recently welcomed fans into his home, which he shares with his 26-year-old fiancée Molly-Mae and their 2-year-old daughter Bambi.
The couple has spent the last seven years of their busy renovations in Cheshire since purchasing the seven-bedroom home in August of that year. The couple’s dream home appears to have come to an end as 2025 draws to a close.

If a famous brother defeats a YouTuber, Tommy Fury instead of Jake Paul.
Tommy created a video update about a day in his life that included a tour of the property, which is thought to be worth £5 million. He also mentioned that they had a family pool, which Bambi had been learning to swim in, and that he had been enjoying the heat of his home sauna.
The reality star praised the mansion, saying, “I spend my entire day doing this every day and every night.” I’ve been using the infrared sauna for about six months. Every night, I spend 20 minutes there, which really helps me fall asleep. Then, immediately following, I jump into the pool. “
Additionally, Molly-Mae explained that renovations have been going well and that she has also been promoting the property on YouTube. She demonstrated a substitute dressing room in a recent update as evidence that she was using it until the building’s main dressing room was finished.
She stated to the audience, “I want to make a bedroom exactly how I want it to be when I re-do it.” The house has really grown and been worth doing because of everything we’ve done so far. We are actually developing it, improving it, and making it even more amazing.
Fifa is testing new technology that can determine whether a goal was scored after the ball exited the play.
One of three series that was tested this month in Qatar is the “Out of Bounds” innovation.
Real-time 3D Recreation has also been expanded to make line-of-sight decisions for offsides more quickly and clearly.
The video assistant referee (VAR) and TV viewers have access to two virtual feeds that replicate both goalkeepers’ viewpoints.
This technology might have helped to resolve a number of contentious incidents in the Premier League in recent seasons.
When VAR found out that Joe Willock had kept the ball in play before Anthony Gordon’s only goal for Newcastle two seasons ago, Arsenal were furious. The VAR did not possess the necessary camera position to demonstrate that the ball was out.
This season, there have been a number of “line of sight” offside incidents. Leandro Trossard was accused of preventing Guglielmo Vicario’s view of the ball when Eberechi Eze scored for Arsenal against Tottenham last month.
The advanced semi-automated offside technology uses the same tracking data points and configurations as the “Out of Bounds” technology.
Although it is still being tested offline, Qatar gave it an opportunity to demonstrate how trustworthy it was.
In the Intercontinental Cup final against Flamengo, Paris St-Germain’s Fabian Ruiz was denied a goal due to the ball’s movement.
Additionally, Fifa conducted additional tests of assistant-specific offside audio alerts, which made their debut at the Club World Cup this summer.
This is done to reduce the number of obvious offside flags.
Taiwo Awoniyi, a striker for Nottingham Forest, collided with a goalpost after play continued from a clear offside, and was placed in an induced coma in May.
Kevin Arkadie, a legend in the television industry, passed away at the age of 68, his family has confirmed. The Emmy-nominated actor, who is best known for co-creating the police drama series New York Undercover, had previously revealed his kidney failure. While a celebration of his life is planned for the first few years of his life, it has not yet been revealed.
Kevin has been hailed as a pioneer in American television writing after working as a writer on shows like The Shield and as a co-producer on shows like Chicago Hope. And since his death was announced almost a week ago, on Wednesday, December 17, online, there have been online tributes paid.

The writer’s cousin, L True Green, who is also a producer, shared news of Kevin’s death on Facebook. Uploading a photograph of the celebrated writer, he posted: “This man right here was one of America’s greatest storytellers. He has forever changed the landscape of creativity … he is the reason I have remained in the arts as a writer today.”
Another online tribute to Kevin was produced by Tony-winning producer Lamar Richardson, who most recently appeared in the TV series Freeman Ranch. He stated, “We spent a lot of time with him developing and pitching together this year, and Kevin was the first showrunner to sign on to one of our TV projects at Ivy Lion. He worked tirelessly, worked hard, and was a brilliant researcher. Everything was always focused on delivering the best story.
It’s not lost on us that he was willing to accept a young production company and a relatively new writer. We are extremely grateful to have worked with him because it was important to him to invest in the development of diverse voices.
We’ll cherish the time we spent with him, Lamar said, and we’ll always say his name. His soul may rest peacefully in peace, and may angel flights comfort him. His impact on his field will undoubtedly never be forgotten.
Stan Spry, Kevin’s manager, described him as “a tremendous talent and a trailblazer.” He was a friend and a beautiful person, which was even more important. His impact on television will not be forgotten, just like his love for those who watched him. He will be greatly missed.
Kevin’s co-creation of New York Undercover in the 1990s, which featured Malik Yoba and Michael DeLorenzo in the lead roles, garnered praise over the years. He twice received an Emmy nomination, and he also received a WGA America Award for his 2006 Noggin series Miracle’s Boys.
The Express quotes Kevin and says to his wife, “If everything ended today, I would do good… Mine is a long story of success, but I still took it up the ass more than I wanted.”
Back in July, Kevin updated fans with news of his health as he explained he was battling kidney failure. He said in an Instagram video: “It’s about time for an update on my post from almost a year ago. That’s when I posted that need, that I needed a living kidney donor.
My kidney function increased from 9% all the way up to a sizable 12% after my kidneys were failing and I was given dialysis. That still fails, but I feel better about it. I mean, I cycled 103 miles from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara even a few weeks ago.
He continued, “Quite a few amazing friends and family actually stepped up to donate a kidney,” expanding further at the time. However, you must be in good health for a hospital to say, “We’re going to cut you open, take out one of your organs, and give it to someone else.” You must be extremely healthy, after all. So regrettably, I’ve already had my good friends and family rejected by all of my donors.
He continued, “Now the Mayo Clinic and Cedars are telling me I need to do everything I can to spread the word.” Wear T-shirts and wear buttons that say I need a kidney. You’re a writer, a doctor told me. Don’t just ask. In front of your home, place a sign. A kidney is required for this house.
He stated that, for anyone who wants to learn more, the average wait time for a donor in California is five to eight years, sometimes a little faster, sometimes a little slower. Who is aware? I’m told by my doctor that I’ll never be able to function without dialysis. So shoot me a direct message if you or someone you know is even slightly interested in making a donation. His wife and their family survive him.
His team Santos reported on Monday that Neymar had a successful operation on his left knee to repair a meniscus damage.
The 33-year-old managed to recover from the injury to prevent the team from falling into Brazil’s top flight during a difficult season at Santos.
After previously operating on Neymar for a foot fracture and his ruptured anterior cruciate ligament against Uruguay in October 2023, the national team doctor of Brazil performed the arthroscopic surgery.
