The Love Island star, 25, also got candid about why their relationship ended and how she thought they would get back together until recently. 

It comes after Tommy claimed the reasons why he and Molly split in August, saying it was because he had become dependent on alcohol following a boxing injury. 

In recent weeks Tommy has been seen leaving her Cheshire home and the pair were seen kissing at a New Year’s Eve party.

Her manager Fran called her, explaining: ‘Oh my god it has come out right this second.’

On Wednesday, Tommy gave an emotional interview with Men’s Health -carefully timed days before the release of Molly-Mae’s documentary – where he revealed his own drinking problem for the first time and admitted his mental health was ‘in the pan’.

Amid rumours their August 2024 break-up was a publicity stunt, Tommy spoke candidly about his mental-health battle and insisted he has never cheated on Molly-Mae – calling rumours about other women ‘complete and utter b***ocks ‘.

‘The reason why me and Molly broke up was because I got addicted to alcohol and I couldn’t be the partner that I wanted to be anymore,’ he confessed.
