Former Love Island star Tommy Fury is not seen in Molly-Mae Hague’s new show Behind It All as he is banned from making an appearance and even filming alongside his girlfriend
The “very valid” real reason Tommy Fury doesn’t feature in Molly-Mae Hague’s Amazon Prime reality TV series has been revealed – and it has nothing to do with the on-off couple’s relationship status.
Tommy and Molly-Mae, who met in the Love Island villa back in 2019 and share two-year-old daughter Bambi together, see their romance under the spotlight in the latest offering of the docu-series Behind It All after reuniting following a brief split last year.
However, despite the couple being very much back on, Tommy only makes his presence known via FaceTime or phone calls during the six-episode Prime Video series, which stars Molly-Mae and baby Bambi.
Audiences can tune into the final three episodes of season one on Friday but won’t catch even a fleeting glimpse of Tommy, who steers clear of filming entirely. Tommy is no stranger to cameoing in reality TV shows, previously appearing in his brother Tyson Fury’s Netflix series At Home With The Furys.
However, when it comes to Molly-Mae’s series, Tommy is AWOL. The reason for Tommy’s on-screen absence is reportedly due to the boxer’s contractual agreement with the BBC who hold the exclusive rights to his forthcoming documentary Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury.
This arrangement means Tommy is unable to film for streaming platform Prime Video as his series, being recorded for BBC Three and iPlayer, pledges to track his life as he battles his issues with alcohol and backlash from his split with Molly.
An insider disclosed that although Tommy would have preferred to feature in Molly’s series, he simply couldn’t due to his work obligations elsewhere. “There’s a very valid reason why Tommy doesn’t appear on Molly’s series,” the source told the Daily Mail.
“He isn’t able to film a scene or even show his face because of his contract with the BBC. Tommy is involved with his own documentary, The Good. The Bad. The Fury, and the BBC has the exclusive rights to his story.”
On Wednesday, Tommy said he is “happy mentally” following what he called the worst year of his life, which included his break-up with his fiancée Molly-Mae and hand surgery. On his birthday, the boxer told ITV’s Good Morning Britain that he had “always thought, breathed boxing”, until “all of a sudden, you’re sat in hospital bed”.
“You fall into a little bit of a dark place,” he added. “I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning, do what I wanted to do and live and do what makes me happy.”
He said that had “consequences”, but “2024 was worst year of my life, and this year is going to be the best year of my life, and it starts on Friday”, when he fights Bosnian Kenan Hanjalic. This marks his first bout since 2023, when he defeated YouTube personality KSI.
“I’m happy mentally now,” he added. “(You’ve) got to go through these challenges in life, no one’s life’s hard. Everyone’s got a hard life. So at the end of the day, it’s all about I come through this, and I’ve come through, I’m on the other side, and I’m back doing what I do best.”
He also said that he had spoken to his two-year-old daughter on his birthday just before going on air. “It is my birthday today, 26, I’m on the wrong side of 20,” he said. “It don’t really feel like a birthday, because I’ve got a job to do on Friday, but all the celebrations will begin after Friday night, once we bring home that win.”
