Love Island’s Tommy Fury might be prepping to look for love in the villa but it looks like he’s already had a go at cracking on with a celebrity.

The 20-year-old boxer reportedly once dated Hollyoaks actor Chelsee Healey, 30, after they bumped into each during a night out in Manchester, the Mirror reports.

However, they apparently got off to a rocky start as Tommy – who is the young brother of heavyweight champion Tyson – failed to complete the pull and went home without her number.

But all wasn’t lost as he hopped on Instagram to send the actress ‘a string of flirty messages.’

A source close to the boxer said: ‘We were on a night out in Manchester and Chelsee just happened to be there.

‘Tommy noticed her straight away and couldn’t stop looking at her. He was proper smitten.

‘They knew some of the same people and he begged one of our mates for an introduction. He was being his usual cheeky self and she was laughing, so whatever he was saying seemed to work.’

The pal said Chelsee eventually responded to his DMs and they went out on a date, where he decided she was ‘out of his league’.

The insider added: ‘Now Tommy’s turned his attention to the show and is hoping he’ll have better luck in the villa.’

Tommy need not worry as there will be plenty girls to pick from in this year’s line up, when the show begins tomorrow on ITV2.

The reports come after Tommy was allegedly caught texting about buying cocaine days before his debut.

He reportedly was seen messaging a group on WhatsApp ahead of a weekend stay in the Lake District for the May 6 Bank Holiday, talking about picking up the class A substance.

In a text obtained by The Sun on Sunday, Tommy allegedly wrote: ‘Anyone want a lot of coke for the night?’

A source told the publication: ‘When he sent the message to the WhatsApp group everybody just kind of ignored it. He hadn’t taken part in any of the conversation and it was such a random message.

‘He clearly wanted to have a wild weekend and get anybody else he could involved as well.’

A Love Island spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: ‘We have no means of contextualising these messages or indeed verifying that they have even come from Tommy. ‘

The ITV2 dating show is set to kick off on Monday (3 June) and already several hopefuls have been ‘axed after failing to pass a surprise drug test.’

It’s been reported that bosses implemented drug testing ahead of the show airing for the first time.

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for both Tommy Fury and Chelsee Healey for comment. 

Love Island kicks off Monday 3 June on ITV2.
