At the start of season 5 ofLove IslandU.K., Fury entered the villa as an islanderand initially had eyes for another contestant, Lucie Donlan. However, when Hague entered the villa episodes later, Fury fancied her.
Fury and Hague officially started dating in July 2019. The boxer asked Hague to be his girlfriend with her stuffed teddy bear, Ellie Belly. Fury wrote a note to her from Ellie Belly saying, “Dear Mummy. Daddy left me here in his best interests. He wanted me to tell you that you’re his everything. I’m going to leave it with Daddy. So … "
Fury then asked, “On a serious note, you know how much you mean to me and you’re the only girl for me. I only want to be with you. Therefore, I was wondering if you wanted to be my girlfriend?”
The two made it the entire season, only to come up short of winningLove IslandU.K. to Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea. After spending over 50 days in the villa as a couple and never once in the bottom two, Hague and Fury exited the show as an item.

Fury gifted his girlfriend a Pomeranian puppy – named Mr. Chai — for her 21st birthday in 2020. However, just six days later, Mr. Chai died unexpectedly.
The two were “heartbroken” about their dog’s passing, and Hague posted about the sad news on her Instagram Story, sharing, “Chai became our whole world in the short time we had him, and we couldn’t have taken any better care of him. We loved him so much, and he brought us more happiness than we can describe,” perCosmopolitanU.K.
Hague later revealed Chai’s cause of death in a12-minute YouTube video, saying, “The vet rang up and said Chai had a seizure, and he died. Tommy literally threw up everywhere.”
In October 2021, theLove Islandcouple’s Manchester home was broken into while they were in London celebrating a beauty launch party for Hague.
“It was without a doubt the worst thing that’s ever happened to me, to us, I’d probably say. It was just awful, horrendous, terrible. So, we have been dealing with a lot,” she continued.
Fury later toldThe Sun, “When I’m not at home, I do worry about Molly. But I try to put it to the back of my mind, otherwise it will affect me and my job. I won’t let them win. Molly is safe and sound and that’s my mindset — positivity.”
The boxer also honored their anniversary with black-and-white photos of the couple kissing on his Instagram,writing, “2 years down, forever to go🖤.”
