Tommy Fury has been opening up about his break-up from Molly-Mae Hague, finally sharing the real reason they separated.
The former Love Island star was being interviewed by Men's Health when he got candid about the highly publicised split.
For him, he found the media coverage difficult to handle.

He said: "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 its ‘Cheater!’, ‘He slept with me!’, ‘He slept with this girl, he slept with that girl!’ Complete and utter b*****ks.
"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."
Out of all the comments that have been sent his way, it's ones that haven't been as widely said that stung the most.
Fury admitted: "The most upsetting thing is that not once did anyone say, ‘Oh, he might be going through something a bit more serious. He might be in a bad spot.’ Not one person said that."
Fury, who shares daughter Bambi with Molly-Mae, went on to say: "People go through different things in life. I’m 25 years old. I went through a lot and my breakup was in front of the whole world. It was talked about on Good Morning Britain and I’ve received so much hate for it."
Rumours of cheating circulated in the aftermath of the couple going their separate ways.
This is something that Fury has denied outright.
The boxer said: "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."
Fury has said he's in a better place now.
"I just wish people would've taken some time out, rather than giving me so much s**t every day, to think maybe there was more going on. Not once did anyone ask how I was. I checked my inbox," he said.
"Millions of messages in there, all negative: 'Do this...' or 'Do that...' to yourself, but not once did anyone take any time out to try and help me."
