Love Island’s Tommy Fury to ask Molly-Mae Hague to be his girlfriend

Love Island’s Tommy Fury is to ask Molly-Mae Hague to be his girlfriend.
The 20-year-old boxer has grown even closer to the 19-year-old social media influencer since she returned from Casa Amor and neither had their heads turned, and he looks set to pop the question in tonight’s (08.07.19) episode.
In a clip from today’s ep on spin-off show ‘Love Island: Aftersun’, he tells pal Curtis Pritchard: "I feel that right now is the perfect time to call Molly my girlfriend.
"This is it. This is f***ing it. I’m going in for it. All or nothing."
And Tommy admits asking her is going to be the "most nervous" he has ever been.
Speaking in the Beach Hut, he says: "Me and Curtis had a bit of a pump up chat on the day bed and we said, ‘Right, let’s go for it.’
"Asking Molly-Mae to be my girlfriend, singlehandedly, the most nervous I have ever been in my entire life."
Should Molly-Mae accept his girlfriend proposal, the pair will become the first official couple on this year’s series.
The stars set a new betting record with bookmaker Ladbrokes over the weekend.
Their odds were slashed to 1/12 to win this year’s show and scoop the £50,000 prize money, making them the shortest price of any ‘Love Island’ pair to win the programme since the show began in 2015.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Tommy and Molly-Mae have stormed ahead in the betting and with drama unfolding across the rest of the villa, the pair will only get shorter in the betting over the next few weeks."
The next best in the betting are Anton Danyluk and Belle Hassan, who are 15/2, but the odds were also cut on Maura Higgins and Curtis winning the show after the 28-year-old model grew close to the ballroom dancer.
While they are not in a couple, Maura and Curtis – who recently ditched Amy Hart – are the 10/1 third favourites to triumph on the programme.
