John, who is also the dad of heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, is heard in the first episode of the series saying: “I knew from dealing with Tyson that when the drinking started to come into play, I thought ‘Not again’.”
In the clip, which was shared on The Sun, John continued: “I did say to Molly because she came to me with this stuff, you know, and I said ‘What you are best off doing with him, Molly. is walking away because if he is not gonna change himself, he doesn’t think that much of you, does he?'”
The words come as Tommy is heard discussing his issues and his split from the Maebe founder. He discusses allegation of cheating, claims he continues to deny. He is heard saying the relationship breakdown came due to alcohol.
He has openly discussed his struggles in recent months. In January, the pugilist opened up about his drinking problems. He said at the time he became “addicted to drinking” and “couldn’t be the partner that he wanted to be anymore”.
Speaking about his drinking, he told Men’s Health : “It’s not like I’d get up in the morning and start drinking, but rather than sit in bed all day and fester, I’d think ‘why not go out?’
“Where I’d normally be in camp, I’d just be smashing Guinness left and centre and then later on in the night shots would come out.
Tommy and Molly-Mae have rekindled their romance and appear as happy as ever as they continue to share holiday snaps online. They were recently seen in Turkey as they shared a number of wholesome family memories with their social media followers.
The parents of one stayed at a £2,000 a night hotel, which “has been carefully curated to deliver a true family holiday without compromise” and boasts 553 spacious suites and private villas.
However, while many were on hand to praise the family, others hit out at the amount of holidays they had been taking. Former Love Island star Molly-Mae has been on at least ten holidays this year already after two trips to Dubai, Budapest, Paris, St. Moritz, and Disneyland Paris, as well as her most recent trip to Turkey.
