Fans have been left concerned for Molly-Mae Hague after she revealed in a recent interview that boyfriend Tommy Fury sometimes “forgets” she’s pregnant.
The 23-year-old influencer and Creative Director of PrettyLittleThing notably announced her pregnancy with the professional boxer back in September 2022 in what is a now-viral social media post seen by millions, all before revealing in a gender reveal video shared shortly after that they are expecting a baby girl.
The young couple famously met on ITV reality dating competition show Love Island back in 2019, and have been together ever since.
But, despite being one of the few couples from their series still in a relationship several years later, Hague as spoken out in a recent interview that is currently doing the rounds online that Fury has been spending a significant chunk of time away training throughout her pregnancy.
Hague added that Fury often has to be “reminded” they are having a baby soon.

In an interview with SportsDirect, when asked if Fury ever talks to her baby bump at all, Molly-Mae explained: “No, I think because he’s been away a lot, I think he sometimes forgets, and I’m like, ‘You do understand that I’m like two months away from having a child’.
“I just think he has to be reminded because he is away a lot.”

After a clip from the interview shared to social media began racking up thousands of views this week, fans of Hague have been taking to Twitter and TikTok to weigh in on the situation, and call Fury out for his absence.
One fan wrote: “That Molly-Mae interview is pretty sad, that’s a cry for help right there.”
Another fan added: “Not Molly-Mae calling Tommy a deadbeat dad already. He left alone for most of her pregnancy. That’s sad honestly.”

“Sorry but I actually feel so sorry for Molly-Mae being pregnant with her smiling through the pain in that interview, bless her. Pregnancy can be a lonely time for a lot of women anyway, let alone if your partner is in a training camp and forgets you’re pregnant,” another fan said on Twitter.
Taking a more direct hit at Fury, another fan commented: “Tommy is not even a successful boxer by any means, so what’s he doing that he’s forgetting his long term girlfriend is pregnant sorry.
“8 wins in 4 years of a career and they’re all against nobodies.
“‘He’s away a lot’ doing what exactly? Primarily communicating via FaceTime when you’re SO is heavily pregnant is shameful sorry, it’s not like he’s the main breadwinner and they’d be destitute if he took a sabbatical.”
“Tommy needs to realise Molly-Mae is making enough money for the both of them that he can stay home and give his boxing hobby a rest,” commented another fan.

Another person gave their opinion on Twitter: “Work isn’t a good excuse for Tommy’s absence during Molly-Mae’s pregnancy. He isn’t even earning as much as her so what is this bread people are talking about.
“Chasing the bag isn’t better than being physically present for your pregnant partner.
“Sorry there’s still no excuse for him, you people will not convince me otherwise. Pregnancy is hard, and feeling lonely through that journey is tough.”
The video then cuts to the pair laughing together and caressing a small baby bump.
Molly-Mae, 23, is now a social media influencer with a huge following of 6.5 million on Instagram alone, and is also the creative director of Manchester-based retailer Pretty Little Thing.

Pubs can extend their opening hours if England make it to the Euro 2024 semi-finals

Pubs are to be permitted to extend their opening hours if England make it through to the semi-finals of EURO 2024 this summer.
With the Premier League, and the English and Scottish football leagues, all drawing to a close over the next couple of weeks, our nations are already looking ahead to what is gearing up to be a massive summer of sport – with both the UEFA EURO 2024, and the 2024 Olympics coming up before August is out.
And now, it’s been revealed by Home Secretary James Cleverly that if either England or Scotland’s mens national football teams make it to the semi-final of European football’s flagship tournament, then pubs will be allowed to stay open for longer.
But, there’s a bit of a catch… because isn’t there always?
The Government has said that venues will be allowed to stay open for an extra two hours on match days if either or both teams reach the last four or the final of the competition, but this only applies to pubs that already have a license to open until 11pm anyway.

The move to extend opening hours comes after a consultation at the end of last year, and is hoped to provide a boost to the hospitality industry – which has notably been hit hard during the ongoing cost of living crisis.
The Home Secretaries in England and Wales, under Section 172 of the Licensing Act 2003, can make an order relaxing licensing hours to mark occasions of “exceptional national significance”, but the Scottish and Northern Irish Governments have to set their own rules.
“We have listened to the public through our consultation,” explained Home Secretary James Cleverley, “and we will be extending pub licensing hours should England or Scotland reach the semi-finals or final of Euro 2024.”

Mr Cleverley said the move will “allow friends, families and communities to come together for longer to watch their nation hopefully bring it home”.
This legislation is set to be laid in Parliament today (Wednesday 8 May) to ensure there is enough time for it to be debated and passed before the tournament begins on Friday 14 June, the Government has confirmed.

CBeebies presenters George Webster and Gyasi Sheppi will also be there to take families on some “enchanting escapades” with magical story time sessions.

The Blue Peter Book Club ‘Badge Trail’ also launches on the day too, and it challenges children to discover special Blue Peter badges on display in 12 different cultural venues across Manchester – with a bonus badge in the Blue Peter Garden in Salford, and some exciting prizes up for grabs.
Beyond the launch event, a series of ‘Book Hunt events will also be coming to “unexpected settings” in Manchester’s parks and open spaces throughout the summer too, and schools across the Greater Manchester region can also join in with Blue Peter Book Club Live by using activity packs and reading resources developed by The Reading Agency to create a “nationwide celebration”.
Ahead of the event next weekend, Councillor John Hacking, who is the Executive Member for Skills Employment and Leisure at Manchester City Council, has called Blue Peter’s new book club a “magnificent initiative”.
