Love Island’s Sam Bird begs Tommy Fury not to ‘beat him up’ over Molly-Mae Hague DMs

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have been going from strength to strength in the Love Island villa.

However, it seems there was another Islander who wanted to couple up with the social media star first – and very nearly succeeded.

In fact, Sam Bird admitted he slid right into the 19-year-old’s DMs a while back, which led to them chatting on WhatsApp.

Which is the most 2019 sentence ever.

In a chat with Digital Spy, himself and Kendall Rae Knight were asked if they knew any of this year’s crop of singletons.

‘Yes, I did actually. So, Molly-Mae, she’s a social media influencer, that’s what she does as a job,’ Kendall replied. ‘I actually went on a social media influencer trip with her at the beginning of the year. I went to Dubai with her.’

And, while they might be among the favourites to walk away with the £50k prize, the boxer’s ex had a stark warning for the Instagram star.

Millie Roberts has called for Molly to ‘be careful and don’t ignore the warning signs’ as their romance heats up.

‘He’s very good at talking, he’s very smooth and calming, he would talk his way out of any situation,’ she told the Sun. hinting he would cheat.

‘Don’t ignore red flags when they come up. He will talk his way out of it. He would lie about where he was every weekend, he would say he was with his granddad but he wouldn’t be, he’d be out and staying in hotel rooms.’

She also claimed the boxer would often send her texts threatening to end their relationship and calling her a ‘dirty cheat’ if she wasn’t home by midnight, adding: ‘He’s really controlling.’

Love Island continues daily, at 9pm, on ITV2.
