The reason Molly-Mae Hague skipped the premiere of Tommy Fury‘s new docuseries has been revealed.
On Wednesday night, the boxer was surrounded by friends and families as he celebrated the release of his three-part show Tommy Fury: The Good, The Bad and The Fury.
The BBC series sees Tommy open up about his split from Molly-Mae, who he has since got back together with, as well as the controversial advice his father John gave him to avoid seeing daughter Bambi, two, at Christmas so that he could focus on boxing training.
After eyebrows were raised over the scene, and Molly-Mae’s absence from the premiere – it’s now been claimed the influencer, 26, was keen to let her partner have his own moment in the spotlight without the risk of overshadowing him.
A source told The Sun: ‘Molly is keen to keep a low profile at the moment. She is obviously back with Tommy but it’s his night and doesn’t want to overshadow it.
‘It’s been a funny time for Molly – she’s very thick skinned but she’s had a lot to deal with and isn’t used to backlash.’

Tommy’s father John, a former boxer, told his son he should skip Christmas with Bambi in order to focus on his training before the match
During the first episode of the show, Tommy’s father John, a former boxer, told his son he should skip Christmas with Bambi in order to focus on his training before the match.
‘If you can’t sacrifice six weeks of your time without your children and all that s**t in the world outside, what we doing here?’ John asked.
‘I can’t see on Christmas Day picking the baby up saying Merry Christmas,’ Tommy replied. ‘I can’t see that’s going to lead me to win a fight or not. You’ve got to be happy.’
John refused to budge, saying: ‘You’re not doing that this time. You’re not – I don’t care if you’re happy or not. Listen – no.’
Speaking to the camera after their disagreement, Tommy said: ‘My dad doesn’t understand the modern world and obviously he’s just an old school fella. Even I find it hard to live in the world today, some of the bulls**t going on.’
John warned Tommy if he lost the fight after seeing Molly-Mae and Bambi, he would end up ‘resenting’ them.
‘You come back, you have your Christmas, you hold the baby. All of a sudden you get a nell on your record for that.
Tommy argued ’20 minutes out of the day’ wouldn’t be a big deal, John insisted: ‘The greats don’t do it. Leave it.

‘You’ll never look at them in the same light again. Family or not family. You’ll resent them,’ he said.
Tommy argued ’20 minutes out of the day’ wouldn’t be a big deal but John insisted: ‘The greats don’t do it. Leave it.’
The boxer was all smiles as he attended the screening of Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury, in Manchester on Tuesday.
He was supported by father John and mother Chantal as well as brother Roman as they posed for sweet family snaps at the event at The Printworks.
While Tommy was supported by his family at the event, a representative for Molly said she was ‘away working’ and very busy which caused her to miss the event.
Current social media snaps show Molly enjoying a sunny break away with her best pal, Tayla-Blue.
Staying true to his word, Tommy happily posed for a number of fun solo snaps as he promoted his show at the screening.
Elsewhere in the documentary, Tommy revealed what it’s really like co-parenting Bambi with Molly-Mae.
The Love Island stars shocked fans when they announced their split last August, after welcoming daughter Bambi and getting engaged the year prior – though they have since rekindled their romance.
The boxer revealed how it caused him to neglect his responsibilities as a father and partner and ultimately causing his relationship to fall apart.

And in scenes from when he and Molly-Mae were separated while he was looking after Bambi, Tommy opened up about what has made it ‘tricky’ to co-parent the toddler in the wake of their split.
‘Obviously it’s tricky because Molly’s at her house and I’m here at the minute,’ Tommy said as he was seen helping Bambi get ready and tucking her into bed.
‘When Bambi’s here, it’s all me, and when she’s there, it’s all her, so it is tricky. 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.’
