LOVE Island fans are convinced Molly-Mae Hague dropped a huge hint her relationship with Tommy Fury was on the rocks weeks before they announced their split.
It came we reported the ITV2 show duo were "living separate lives" prior to making news of their break-up public in two emotional statements.
Now fans of Molly, 25 - and her sister Zoe Rae, 28, (formerly Hague) - reckon Tommy, 25, taking a "back seat" at Zoe's recent wedding was a key sign.
Zoe, who has also found fame as a YouTube vlogger and influencer, married military man Danny in a stunning Lake District ceremony this summer.
Molly was Maid of Honour, with her little daughter Bambi, aged one, the perfect flower girl.
Images and video showed Molly looking understandably emotional as she walked down the aisle in front of her sister.

Zoe looked stunning as she followed the pair in a gorgeous white wedding dress with elaborate sleeve detail.
Molly's then-fiancé, Tommy, looked on proudly while seated with the rest of the guests, dressed smartly in a navy blue suit.
Yet after Zoe posted clips and an array of sweet images to social media, as well as an official wedding video, fans called out a clue with the boxer.
One took to Zoe's YouTube video of the special day - which was a military wedding ceremony at a hotel in Ullswater - to comment on his low-key role.

They wrote: "No wonder he took a back seat at wedding - he’ll be in the pics tho."
Another mused: "Hardly in her sister’s wedding video."
A third then put: "Her sister's wedding video on YouTube - he's barely in it."
Following their special day, Zoe posted a snap of the happy couple to social media and put: "They captioned the snap: "Mr & Mrs Rae | 06.07.24."
She and her groom are currently on their Honeymoon - and will no doubt be on-hand to support Molly when they return.
Despite being stunned by the sad break-up fans have now flagged more clues to their split.
'Molly and Tommy appeared to be picture perfect, their break-up was completely unexpected'

GASPS of horror echoed around our desks as Molly Mae revealed she had split from Tommy.
The break up, after five years, was completely unexpected.
In recent months, the pair had faced rumours he had a roving eye after he was spotted partying with women - all 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 this seemingly rock solid couple 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 getting down on one knee.
The pair’s relationship, complete with Love Island fan-favourite Ellie Bellie and, later, the arrival of 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 poring over her every word as they attempt to emulate her life.
In truth, Molly is one of the only Love Islanders I, along with a number of my friends, follow on social media for her girl next door vibe and stylish fashion picks.
Celebrity breakups are often ten a penny, but there is something 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 now be combing the internet and social media for clues.
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 follower, I really hope she is being supported by the people who love her most.
Break ups 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 – they are a hell of a lot harder.
Mum of one Molly also left eyebrows raised with the wording of her split statement - with fans believing it deliberately conceals the "real reason."
Initial reactions from their fans indicate that most believe Tommy was "at fault."
Initial reactions from their fans also indicate that most believe Tommy was "at fault."
She took to her Instagram Stories with a message that read: "Never in a million years did I think l'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.
"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, I'll be back when it feels right. Molly-Mae X"
"Heartbroken" boxer Tommy then released his own message surrounding the split.
Tommy confirmed the pair, who met on Love Island in 2019, had gone their separate ways.
In a short message to his 5.4million followers the reality TV star turned boxer paid tribute to Molly.
He said: "I am heartbroken to share that Molly & I have decided to end our relationship.
