Molly-Mae was convinced Tommy Fury was CHEATING on her before engagement as split stuns fans
MOLLY-Mae Hague feared Tommy Fury had been cheating on her in the lead-up to their lavish engagement.
The Love Island star said she was convinced Tommy had been doing her dirty before he popped the question.
Molly and Tommy, who have today confirmed their split after five years together, got engaged in a fairytale proposal in Ibiza.
But she later admitted to her YouTube followers that she had become worried after he became overly protective of his mobile phone.
Molly, who got engaged to Tommy in July 2023, said: "My mind did somersaults, I thought, 'Why is he shady about his phone who is he talking to?'
";My mind went to the worst option. I was staring out the window like I was in a sad movie."

Molly and Tommy, who met on the 2019 series of Love Island, confirmed their break-up on social media on Wednesday.
The couple are parents to one-year-old daughter Bambi, who was born in January 2023.
Molly wrote on Instagram: "Never in a million years did I think I'd ever have to write this.
"After five years of being together, I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.
"I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy's relationship has come to an end.
"I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter.
"Without us, there would be no her, she will always be my priority."
Molly-Mae added: "I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years.
"You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it's right to share this with you all.
"Whilst I attempt to navigate the coming days and weeks, please kindly respect my privacy over this difficult time.
Molly and Tommy appeared to be picture perfect, their break-up was completely unexpected

GASPS of horror echoed around our desks as one Molly Mae revealed she had split from Tommy.
The breakup, after five years, was completely unexpected.
In recent months the pair had faced off rumours he had a roving eye after he was spotted partying with women while Molly-Mae was at home holding their baby.
Her statement smacks of something that has yet to come to light.
Although she’s written it with a clever PR eye watching over it, Molly’s devastation spills out in every word.
As I type, my WhatsApp groups are flashing up with texts about how these seemingly rock-solid couples have crumbled into nothing.
Just three weeks ago, Molly posted a video of the moment Tommy proposed – after he pulled an elaborate stunt which ended up with him down on one knee.
The pair’s relationship, alongside Love Island fan-favourite Ellie Bellie and later their daughter Bambi, appeared to outsiders to be picture-perfect.
Molly has built her brand around her wholesome family life with Tommy.
Cosy photographs are carefully curated for her Instagram grid, with her 7.9million followers pouring over her every word as they attempt to emulate her life.
In truth, Molly is one of the only Love Islanders I follow on social media for her content, along with a number of my friends, who like me enjoy her girl-next-door vibe and stylish fashion picks.
Celebrity breakups are often ten a penny, but something is shocking about the ending of what on the surface appeared to be such a happy relationship.
Earlier this year, at Soccer Aid, Tommy was cagey when asked about their upcoming wedding plans by one of my colleagues.
It wasn’t altogether too strange, as most blokes aren’t overly keen to chat about their missus when they’re with their mates playing football, but it was a definite gear change from the Tommy many of us have interviewed over the years, as he was always so gushing about his bride-to-be.
Thousands of Molly-Mae’s fans, and no doubt a number of Instagram and Tattle Life sleuths, will be combing the internet and social media for clues now.
And given the number of calls coming into our desk, I have no doubt that the real reason Molly-Mae ended things with Tommy will come to light in the next few hours.
As a genuine fan and a follower of hers, I really hope she is being supported by the people who love her most.
Breakups suck at the best of times. But when you’re in the public eye, and you choose to announce your split so suddenly – and clearly without mutual consent – it is a hell of a lot harder.
"I'll be back when it feels right. Molly-Mae x."
Tommy, meanwhile, has now released a statement on the break-up, posted to his social media.
He wrote: "I am heartbroken to share that Molly & I have decided to end our relationship.
"The past 5 years have led us to having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi, and I will forever be thankful to Molly for making me a dad.

"Bambi is our priority."
He continued: "Please respect our privacy, and our family's privacy, as we navigate our way through this difficult time."
