Molly-Mae Hague asked Tommy Fury a question five years ago that seemingly foreshadowed their shocking breakup last year.
When the former couple, who met on Love Island back in 2019, announced their split last August, fans were sent into an absolute spiral and the frenzy hasn't really stopped - especially after Molly-Mae announced she'd be addressing the breakup in her six-part docu-series, which is set to land on Amazon Prime on Friday (17 January).
Things amped up even further after Tommy directly responded to the cheating allegations which soon began circulating online following the split, calling them 'completely false'.

Speaking to Men's Health, the father-of-one revealed: "With my breakup with Molly, there's been so much s**t in the papers every single day for the past six months, but if it's not come from my mouth or Molly's mouth, it's complete and utter bulls**t.
"All I've been seeing for the past six months is ‘Cheater!’, ‘He slept with me!’, ‘He slept with this girl, he slept with that girl!’ "Complete and utter b*llocks. We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol and I couldn't be the partner that I wanted to be anymore.
"It kills me to say it, but I couldn't. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink."
Directly addressing the cheating rumours, Tommy declared: "Cheating was never a thing. You can ask Molly this yourself. It was the drink, and the drink is not a good thing.
"You need to get a grip of it. If you're in the same spot as me, where you just think that it's going to cure all your problems, it doesn’t. You wake up even worse and you want to drink more to try and feel happy again. That's the cycle of it."
And, in her Amazon Prime documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, the influencer looked back at an ITV Love Island scene where she and Tommy first met.
The pair, who were chatting in a hot tub, started discussing their lifestyle habits, with Molly-Mae asking Tommy: "Are you a big drinker?"
"Err, not really," he replies, prompting her to reveal: "No, neither am I."
Recalling a tear-jerking incident which took place during her sister Zoe's wedding, Molly-Mae continued to open up about how Tommy's drinking went on to cause 'issues' within their relationship.
"There were exterior issues going on for him that was causing our relationship to have problems. His drinking," she explained. "I never wanted to be with someone that drank because my mum had a period of time in her life where she struggled because her marriage of 25 years had just ended, and she turned to drink probably more than she should have.
"I was only about 14-15 when that happened, and I saw my mum in some states, going through a really vulnerable time, so I’ve never been around it in a positive light."
Molly-Mae carried on: "He wanted to have a family life, but then also wanted to have the life of a 25-year-old boy with no responsibilities, and that’s just - the two don’t go hand in hand.
"He’s never had an alcohol problem, it’s just that alcohol causes problem for us.
"It got to the point that I wasn’t really looking forward to anything because alcohol affected it so much. At my sister’s wedding, I literally pleaded with Tommy, like I begged him, not to drink, and [crying] I don’t know, it’s just really sad. It’s just so sad."
