Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury are current favourites to win Love Island next week, walking away with the £50,000 prize.

And, while the pair have been all kinds of couple goals in the villa, it seems that wasn’t always the case.

In fact, an insider has claimed the 19-year-old Instagram influencer told a fellow Islander she felt ‘sick at the thought of kissing’ the boxer, 20.

Which isn’t ideal…


‘Molly does seem to be besotted with Tommy. But that definitely wasn’t the case at first. In fact, it was quite the opposite,’ they said.

‘Soon after she arrived, she quietly told one of the other Islanders that if Tommy, who liked her from the start, was to kiss her she would probably be sick.

‘To go from there, to a full-blown romance is a hell of a U-turn.’



Despite being the only full-fledged couple in the villa, Molly and Tommy have been accused of faking their feelings for one another over the last few weeks – most notably when the social media star ‘flinched’ away from her beau in bed.

And the source claimed she had a plan in place for how she would ‘play things’ when she stepped foot on the island.

‘The fact that she was so cold to Tommy at first, and then suddenly switched her feelings on, hasn’t done much to dispel the rumour that she is putting it on,’ they added to the Sun.

However, a spokesperson poured cold water on the claims, telling Metro.co.uk: ‘She has gone there to find love and we have no doubt Molly and Tommy are genuinely attracted to one another.’

And behavioural expert Judi James told us she believes Molly is genuine in her feelings – and simply needs time.

It has only been a few weeks…

‘There was a point when they were in the bedroom together when she flinched as he went for her so there’s a lot of signs she needs longer – she’s very young,’ she said.

‘Tommy is a focused winner. He does have feelings but has played it all by the Love Island rituals …

‘For me he’s going through it as a winner and I sometimes think she looks at him like, “Are we doing this?”’

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Love Island and Molly-Mae for a comment.
