Tommy Fury spotted on ‘wild night out’ after getting back with Molly Mae following booze battle

TOMMY Fury was spotted on a wild night out this week, without Molly Mae.

The boxer, who recently reunited with his partner, reportedly partied until the early hours after she revealed problems related to his boozing were behind their painful split.

Tommy, 26, could be seen chatting to his brother Roman’s partner, who bears a striking resemblance to Molly at Bubble Room in Alderley Edge.

They later headed over to The Symposium night club and danced until 2am, where according to MailOnline he was reportedly seen hugging her. 

The club is well known in the area and is owned by Hollyoaks hunk Ashley Taylor Dawson, who plays Darren Osborne on the show.

Mum-of-one Molly shocked fans last year when she announced her split from Tommy. 

He was later accused of cheating on her with a ‘blonde stranger’ on a lads’ holiday to Macedonia – something Tommy has repeatedly denied. 

The former Love Island star admitted yesterday that alcohol and partying was behind his split from the star, saying: “We broke up because I had a problem with alcohol and I couldn’t be the partner that I wanted to be anymore.

“It kills me to say it, but I couldn’t. I loved a pint of beer, loved to drink.”

She later sobbed as she recalled pleading with the boxer to ditch the alcohol during her sister Zoe’s big day in July.

In heartbreaking scenes in her warts-and-all Prime Video documentary, she said: “At my sister’s wedding I literally begged him, I pleaded with him to not drink.

“And … it’s just really sad … I don’t know why I’m crying now. It’s just so sad. It just affected me.”

She added: “He wanted to have a family life but also have the life of a 25 year old boy with no responsibilities and the two don’t go hand in hand.

“He’s never had an alcohol problem, it’s just that alcohol caused problems for us.

“It got to a point where I wasn’t really looking forward to anything because alcohol affected it so much.”

However the pair managed to work past their problems and have since reconciled.

They were spotted yesterday looking happier than ever on a family day out.

Molly’s rep declined to comment. Tommy’s rep has been contacted.

Timeline of Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury's split

After five years together, Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury split up in August 2024.

At around 4pm on Wednesday, August 14, Molly-Mae and Tommy suffer an explosive showdown and Molly-Mae announces her split from fiancé Tommy Fury, saying ‘ I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way’.

An hour later Tommy shares a separate and brief statement confirming they have parted ways, and thanks Molly-Mae for making him ‘a dad’.

The real reason they split emerges and on Thursday, August 15 The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae learned Tommy had cheated on her – leading to an explosive showdown.

On Saturday, August 17, The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae had been sent an upsetting video showing Tommy kissing a girl in a nightclub in North Macedonia on a lads holiday.

Exactly one week after the split a Danish woman accused of getting close to Tommy speaks to The Sun. On Wednesday, August 21, she denies she is the girl who kissed Tommy.

Boy, 15, died after taking ecstasy with pals to celebrate his birthday

A BOY died after taking ecstasy with friends to celebrate his 15th birthday, an inquest heard.

Joshua Reeson, pictured above, paid for the drug which the three pals took late at night at one of their homes.

He started shaking and sweating and was told to leave by his friend’s parents.

He was later found by the adults who had gone out looking for him.

Joshua, who had fallen and hit his head, was taken to hospital where he died the same day.

He had multiple organ failure from the MDMA on September 27, 2020.

Mum Michelle said: “One spur-of-the-moment decision, one wrong choice, and everything changed.

Drugs took Joshua away from us.”

A drug-related death conclusion was recorded at the inquest at Northallerton Coroner’s Court, North Yorks.

Alexander Payne, 20, of Middlesbrough, was jailed for 4½ years for conspiracy to supply MDMA and cocaine in December.

Jamie Vardy joins new ‘dream team’ on holiday with Tottenham and Man Utd stars

JAMIE Vardy has delighted fans after joining a new “dream team” since becoming a free agent – after he was pictured partying with his Leicester City pals while on holiday.

The striker, 38, who last month drew the curtains on his 13-year chapter at the club, was seen reunited with his former teammates and their families in Portugal.

Joined by wife Rebekah, 43, Jamie beamed for the camera at the beach alongside Harry Maguire, James Maddison and Leicester City coach Andy King.

Maguire’s sisters, Daisy and Zoe, his wife Fern and dad Alan were also in tow.

Fans voiced their delight at the reunion, with one posting: “Dream team!”

Another said: “Lovely to see former players still socialising together.”

In response, Rebekah commented: “Always! Unbreakable bonds.”

Another supporter described it as a “heartwarming” picture.

It’s understood the reunion took place in the Algarve.

It comes just weeks after Rebekah’s bitter six-year libel court battle with Wayne Rooney’s other half Coleen finally ended, resulting in a £1.4million bill for the Vardys.

And last month we told how the Vardy’s were selling their lavish Portuguese home for a huge seven figure sum.

The couple are hoping to fetch £9.7 million for the massive pad in Quinta do Lago, which boasts three pools, a gym and six bedrooms.

A source denied they’re trying to claw back cash and said the pair are looking for a new holiday home.

In May, the Vardys enjoyed a trip to Turkey, staying at the Lujo Hotel in Bodrum, where rooms can cost up to £10,000 a night.

Jamie is said to be holding crunch talks as he weighs up lucrative offers ahead of the new season, and is rumoured to be considering moving Stateside.

Despite his nine Premier League goals in 2024-25, he was unable to save Leicester from relegation.

The Foxes made an instant return to the Championship after a dismal campaign saw them finish 19th.

He said: “I’m always excited for what comes next.”

Rebekah threw Jamie a lavish surprise party celebrating his final appearance for Leicester last month.

She told a crowd at Glastonbury: “Do you know what I do when my family comes down? The London Dungeons Tour.

“Has anyone else done that? Isn’t it so good? It’s so fun. I just love it — I have probably done it like four times.”

Margot added: “Then there is also a Ghosts, Galleries and Ghouls walking tour, which I highly recommend.

“It is so amazing — you’ll be somewhere you walk around all the time and they will be like, ‘There are 3,000-year-old skeletons under your feet right now.’”

Margot, who was at Glastonbury with husband Tom Ackerley, revealed she no longer goes to her favourite London club Infernos in Clapham, where she used to live.

She said at the Pilton Palais cinema: “I’m 34 and I don’t think they’d let me in.

“They would be like, ‘No go away old lady’.

“Our roommate has a 99-year ban.”

Tyrone silence flat Dublin in All-Ireland quarter-final before Dessie Farrell quits as manager

DUBLIN’S knockout blow was always coming – and Tyrone landed it as Dessie Farrell quit as boss after last night’s All-Ireland quarter-final at Croke Park. 

Six All-Irelands in a row in 2020 and a magnificent last dance under the Na Fianna man in 2023 have been followed by back to back All-Ireland quarter-final exits.

Dessie Farrell quit as Dublin boss after the defeat at Croke Park

The Sky Blues have been on the ropes all summer. Last year it was Galway, this time it was Tyrone – who edged an arm-wrestle to reach their first semi-final since going all the way in 2021. 

The glory days were always going to end, and last night it felt like they were firmly over after Farrell stood down as manager. 

A masterclass from Red Hand stalwart Kieran McGeary was vital along with five two-pointers to Dublin’s none as McGeary, Peter Teague and Peter Harte on the double all raised first half orange flags. 

But the Sky Blues folded when the chips were down. When questions were asked, only Tyrone gave answers as Farrell’s men misfired with 10 wides and only scored 0-16 from 30 scoring chances. 

Cormac Costello spurned big goal opportunities at the start of each half as their night never really sparked. 

The Dubs faithful came in hope more than expectation. Hill 16 rarely found voice, and the old terrace slowly emptied the more Tyrone choked the game. 

When Luke Breathnach’s score got them back within a point on 64 minutes, the trademark Dublin surge never came.

Tyrone stood up to the mark instead as Ben McDonnell and the Canavans split the posts to banish the Blues and Morgan’s two-pointer just before the hooter iced the cake. 

Con O’Callaghan was thrown into the fray with a strapped hamstring but not even he could save them, as they only managed 0-6 in a shocking second half performance. 

Tyrone led 0-11 to 0-10 after an arm-wrestle of a first half, but it was far off the classics these two served up in their gripping All-Ireland quarter-finals 20 years ago. 

Eoin Murchan peeled away from Darragh Canavan to carve open the Red Hand defence after just three minutes, but Costello failed to punish them as his low drive flashed wide. 

Morgan got a hand to it and Stephen Cluxton converted the 45, but an error-ridden game unfolded from here. 

The Red Hands made hay on two-pointers all the same, as the Canal end of Croker seemed to suck the long rangers over the bar. 

McGeary and Teague lashed over from outside the arc before Harte did it twice.

His first orange flag sent his men 0-6 to 0-3 in front, but a rare burst of Dublin intensity minus O’Callaghan – who did not start – clawed them level. 

Brian Howard pounced on a loose ball for Costello to fire over before the lively Brian O’Leary followed suit when Niall Devlin was caught in possession for Tyrone, and the Na Fianna man soon doubled his tally. 

The first 20 minutes were end to end, but the damp and dreary weather started sapping the energy from the game. 

Harte’s second boomer flung Tyrone ahead again before Davy Byrne’s brilliant block denied them a goal when Mattie Donnelly played Rory Brennan through. 

Costello was fouled and made it 0-9 apiece from the resulting free to take his tally to 0-5.

But the Dubs had four wides and as many shots dropped short at that stage as their shooting really let them down. 

Peadar Ó Cofaigh-Byrne had an epic midfield tussle with Brian Kennedy, and managed to squirm free from the Tyrone skipper to feed Killian McGinnis in front of the Hill to score. 

Darren McCurry had the final say of the half after the hooter, and it was anyone’s game with just a point in it at the break.

But slowly but surely, Tyrone wore them down. Another sliding doors moment arrived when Ó Cofaigh-Byrne played Costello in and Rory Brennan slipped – but again the Whitehall man missed the target. 

Brian Howard flashed another two-point effort wide, and Tyrone smelt blood as Ruairí Canavan, Ciarán Daly and Niall Devlin gave them daylight at 0-14 to 0-11. 

O’Callaghan entered the fray to the roar of the day, and waved his magic wand when he sent Mattie Donnelly out for a hotdog and fired over. 

But that was it from Dublin’s king, who almost had a goal when Luke Breathnach tried to find him at the back post but Morgan flung himself the ball before it got there. 

And the wides kept coming as Howard, Sean Bugler and Con all missed before Eoin McElholm danced around Kilkenny and pointed at the other end to pull Tyrone two clear again.  

Breathnach got Dublin’s last of the game, and Cluxton was the next to miss when his two-point effort failed after Howard was fouled. 

Tyrone found another gear, helped when Ruairí Canavan entered the fray to score 0-2.

His second when he stole it off Howard summed up Dublin’s night of misery. 

Morgan’s two-point free sparked a mass blue exodus – from fans to Farrell. 

It was an ugly way to bow out, but they only had themselves to blame given their poor shooting and lack of intensity – which were staples of all their success.  

Dublin cemented themselves as the greatest team of all when they romped to five on the bounce under Jim Gavin, before Farrell added two to his name as boss.  

But back to back last eight exits and their shock Leinster SFC loss to Meath leaves far more questions than answers in the big smoke with a new manager on the horizon and Cluxton likely to call it quits this time. 

The party goes on without them – and Tyrone are invited after a four-year semi-final absence.

Noisy sex sparks 100 complaints from miffed neighbours – and one randy town had the most culprits

NOISY nookie next door sparked at least 100 complaints from neighbours in a year.

Loud love-making with moaning, groaning, headboard banging and squeaky bedsprings stopped others getting a good night’s kip.

And in some cases, council officials gave those complaining noise diaries or recording equipment to monitor sound levels.

Randy Rotherham had the highest number of recorded complaints about the racket made during romps, with 15.

One irate caller in Islington, North London, told the council the neighbours “were making sex noises through the night and the bed was making creaking and banging noises as well”.

A resident blamed for a sexual din in Bradford was sent a council warning letter.

When that did not work, a council worker planted a recording device in the home of the neighbour who had complained.

A noise officer then listened to the recording, and deemed the racket “unreasonable”.

A resident of Telford, Shrops, complained the neighbours’ headboard kept banging against the wall.

And in Kingston, South West London, a local said the couple next door were “having the loudest sex imaginable”.

The survey of councils under Freedom of Information rules found 30 recorded 98 such complaints.

But the true total will be much higher as the majority could not give a number. Culprits could be fined £110 or even face court action.

Shocking reality of kids mobile use revealed as teens bombarded with 100s of messages & spend 5 hours a day on phones

TEENS are bombarded with up to 360 phone messages a day – and could spend a total of 25 YEARS glued to their mobiles, a Sun on Sunday probe reveals.

Concerned experts are warning that the shock usage poses a threat to kids’ mental health.

Teens are bombarded with up to 360 phone messages a day – and could spend a total of 25 YEARS glued to their mobiles[/caption]

We tracked four youngsters’ phone use over seven days and the results surprised even their parents.

One 16-year-old got almost 2,500 alerts — that is nearly 360 messages a day and one text every two-and-a-half minutes.

Another was sent more than 1,600 messages, and one 15-year-old admitted she had messaged a friend back and forth for 967 consecutive days.

Our shock findings come as a new report lays bare the amount of time kids spend on their devices — and experts fear youngsters’ mental health is being hit by extreme usage.

Labour MP Joani Reid, who is leading the call for a ban on smartphones in schools, said: “Hundreds of messages a day isn’t just about distractions in school — it’s about safety.

“Every notification could expose our kids to serious dangers — grooming by predators, cyberbullying and graphic, harmful content. Apps like Snapchat and TikTok often shield these interactions from parents, leaving teenagers vulnerable and isolated.

“We need tougher regulations forcing tech companies to prioritise child safety over profit. Parents alone can’t monitor every message or app — Government and schools must step up.”

Addictive apps

A new study has found that the average secondary school pupil is on their mobile for five-and-a-half hours each day.

If they keep that up, they could spend up to 25 years of their lives staring at a phone screen.

And 68 per cent of youngsters polled by Fluid Focus said their academic performance was affected by their smartphone use, with 40 per cent admitting to constantly checking their mobile while studying.

Popular teenager Art McGrath, 16, from Leyton, East London, had the most smartphone traffic of all the youngsters we tracked — receiving a staggering 2,493 messages in seven days.

His notifications comprised 2,320 Snapchat messages, 112 WhatsApp chats and 61 Instagram alerts. This averages out to 356 messages a day.

Art said: “Snapchat is the main messaging app. I’ve been on it since I was around 12. Everyone is on it.

“I have groups with different friendship groups. I don’t give myself phone breaks. If I get a message, I can end up stuck in a loop.”

Snapchat is the biggest player in the world of youngsters’ messaging apps and is used by 74 per cent of teens in the UK, according to Ofcom.

It has been accused of exposing youngsters to bullying and grooming, and slated for its addictive qualities.

‘Zero tolerance’

Snapchat insists it has a “zero tolerance” approach to sexual exploitation and says it removes harmful content immediately.

Its Streaks function, which tracks the consecutive days two users have messaged each other, has been criticised for being addictive.

But bosses at the tech firm say it is just a “fun thing”.

Grace Dainty, 15, from Witney, Oxfordshire, maintains a Streak of 967 days with one pal.

Over seven days, she received 1,620 messages, with the vast majority — 1,594 — on Snapchat.

She said: “All of my friends, bar one, are on Snapchat. I have a Streak with my best friend of 967. I don’t want to let this go. When I get an alert, I look at my phone and respond straight away if it’s good.

“If a close friend didn’t reply straight away, I would be concerned.”

Mum Caroline, a 46-year-old social worker, said: “I was surprised at the number of messages. This has opened my eyes to how Snapchat works.”

I was surprised at the number of messages. This has opened my eyes to how Snapchat works

Caroline Dainty

While Grace may feel as if constant messaging is key to her friendships, psychologist Dr Charlotte Armitage insists: “As much as people feel like they’re connected through phones, they’re not — it’s a pseudo-connection.

“We need a connection in real life to feel the benefits. Our relationships are crucial for health and life longevity, so we become more disconnected.

“It’s snowballed in the last five years and it’s getting worse with AI, because not only are people not talking to other people, in apps they are now talking to bots instead.”

Dr Armitage, the author of Generation Zombie, also warned of the addictive nature of messaging apps.

She said: “The brain becomes used to frequent stimulation and struggles to focus without it, as it starts to search for the next hit of dopamine.

“This has consequences for a child’s attentiveness, interpersonal skills such as listening in conversation, ability to engage in academia or any other activity that doesn’t provide a dopamine release at regular intervals.”

A study from King’s College London found that one in four children has “problematic smartphone usage”, meaning they use their devices in a way that is consistent with addiction.

Banned in lessons

But none of the teens we polled considered their phone use to be unusual or over the top. They all went to bed with their devices and checked them as soon as they woke.

Every one of them was allowed to take their handset to school, though the vast majority were banned from using devices in lessons.

Some continued to text anyway, while others said teachers didn’t enforce the rules.

Lottie Taylor, 14, from Farsley, Leeds, received 1,243 messages over a week — 75 per cent of them via Snapchat.

She said: “I like Streaks and have 39 people I send to on a daily basis.

“I wake up and the first thing I’ll do is get on my phone. The longest streak I’ve got is 574 with my best friend. I like to keep them up. It’s a symbol of friendship. I check my Streaks last thing at night as well.”

Lottie Taylor

Lottie’s mum Lydia, 43, a primary school teacher, said: “It’s hard to get Lottie moving on a morning because she won’t get out of bed until she’s done her Streaks.”

In Snapchat messages shared with The Sun on Sunday, Lottie and her friend discuss meeting up in the park.

Lottie says: “Ikk [I know] we need to hang out… Bruh I just washed my hair.” Her pal replies: “Aw bless. Anyway meet you at mine then we’ll out.”

Meanwhile, Logan Hook, 15, from Pudsey, West Yorkshire, received 528 messages in a week on Snapchat and WhatsApp.

He said: “I’m in a couple of WhatsApp groups for football mates, and one with school mates.

“I don’t think I get a crazy amount of messages, but I will chat to arrange stuff or talk football.”

In messages on a football team WhatsApp group, sneakily sent during class time, one friend laments his poor performance on the pitch, saying: “I was awful.”

Another pal adds: “I didn’t play bad but didn’t play good either”, before Logan replies: “What do you think ur doing texting in class”.

'Getting more addictive'

By Daisy Greenwell, Founder of the campaign group Smartphone Free Childhood

THE amount of messages these kids receive is staggering.

I was also struck by how long teens are maintaining their Snapchat Streaks for.

These findings make me particularly angry because it’s a design seemingly aimed at keeping kids on their phones for as long as possible.

Children are being manipulated into staring at a rectangular screen when they could be out discovering the real world with real friends.

The amount of time kids spend with friends has plummeted since 2010, when they started getting smartphones, while cases of teenage anxiety, depression and self-harm have skyrocketed.

Seven in ten students believe phone use has harmed their academic performance. It’s not surprising!

Studies show it takes 20 minutes to refocus after your attention has been broken.

If that’s happening hundreds of times a day, that’s a large portion of your day you’re not focused on what you’re doing or what’s happening around you.

Phones will not stop getting more addictive unless change happens.

We are working with politicians to pressure the Government into stopping profit-driven companies from infiltrating our kids’ minds.

Smiling Emma Raducanu & Carlos Alcaraz grow closer as pair spotted with arms round each other in pics for water brand

SMILING tennis aces Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz grow closer on and off court — and seem destined for a love match.

Brit Emma, 22, put her arm around the world No.2 as he joined her as a global brand ambassador for bottled water Wimbledon sponsor Evian.

In another snap, the pair — due to partner at the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship in August — laughed on court and have a clear “spark”, insiders say.

World No.38 Emma set tongues wagging when she was seen cheering on Wimbledon favourite Carlos, 22, at Queen’s Club earlier this month.

She tried to play down rumours of a blossoming relationship at a press conference yesterday, grinning as she insisted that she and Spaniard Carlos are “just good friends”.

The pair will team up at the Billie Jean King Tennis Centre in August as they both look to add a doubles success to their US Open singles titles.

SunSport exclusively revealed earlier this week that the duo’s relationship goes further than the court, but Raducanu insists there’s no romance.

When asked about it in her pre-Wimbledon press conference, the British star said while giggling: “We’re just good friends”.

Raducanu is jumping at the idea of teaming up with the World No2, who is hot off the heels of winning the French Open earlier this month.

Recalling when Alcaraz asked her to join forces, Raducanu said: “I mean, of course, I had to ask my team if they wanted me to play.

“But for me, when he asked me, I was going to say yes, I just had to kind of go through the formality of asking my coach, so I didn’t just make the decision.”

On how they became friends, Raducanu added: “I’ve known him for years.

“And actually in Wimbledon 2021 it was like kind of the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021.”

Brit No.2 Katie Boulter, 28, said yesterday she feels “safe” at Wimbledon after revealing she and her family have had death threats.

RAF drone wiped out an IS jihadi on a motorbike after tracking him through Syria

AN RAF drone wiped out an IS jihadi on a motorbike after tracking him through Syria, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.

The Islamist terrorist was taken out by a Hellfire missile fired from the £24million Reaper drone.

The unmanned aircraft began tailing the motorcycle-riding fighter in Sarmada, near the border with Turkey, after intelligence identified him as a “known member” of IS.

The Ministry of Defence told The Sun on Sunday in a statement: “The Reaper’s crew carefully tracked the terrorist on his motorcycle.

“Having checked that there were no signs of civilians nearby who might be placed at risk, [they] conducted a successful engagement, striking the motorcycle and eliminating the terrorist.”

Sources added the remotely-operated drone’s crew were “extremely careful” to wait for a “gap” during the trailing of the terrorist.

The took him out when no other traffic or pedestrians were within a clear radius of him.

It is understood they had been monitoring him for “some time” before firing the Hellfire missile at him.

The June 10 strike was the second RAF drone hit on an IS member in Syria this year.

In February — three months after tyrant Bashar Al-Assad fled to Moscow and rebel forces swept to power — another British drone pilot killed a member of the death cult in Aleppo.

The UK has been fighting IS, also called Daesh, since 2014.

The operation, codenamed Shader, saw the RAF conducting air strikes against the terror group in Iraq and later Syria.

It has become one of the RAF’s biggest operations in the last 25 years, with British pilots flying more than 10,000 sorties and striking more than 1,400 targets.

UK jets have carried out a fifth of all air strikes by coalition forces, equivalent to the contribution by US pilots.

Last year, former Defence Secretary Ben Wallace revealed that an IS terrorist had to be taken out by an RAF drone — because human rights laws prevented the SAS from seizing him.

The Islamist, who was making biological weapons, was among several killed after snatch operations were ruled out.

He was eliminated in a Hellfire missile blitz in 2022.

Mr Wallace said lawyers told him the European Convention on Human Rights made it illegal to hand over any suspects to Syria due to the risk of torture.

But they could also not be taken to Britain because there was no extradition treaty with the Assad regime.

ACTRESS Emma Laird seems to have travelled back in time by going on a date with Matt Smith.

The starlet, who at 26 is 16 years Matt’s junior, was last week snapped laughing with the former Doctor Who star outside a trendy bakery in North London.

Emma, seen at her 28 Years Later film premiere earlier this month, left, seems to have rekindled her romance with Matt, after the pair were first seen in a clinch outside a pub two years ago.

An onlooker said: “The pair look relaxed in each other’s company as they sat outside and Matt puffed on a cigarette.”

Matt, who stepped down as the sonic screwdriver-wielding Doctor after four years in 2013, has a history of high-profile romances.

He was pictured holding hands with Billie Piper at a Surrey fete in 2006.

She played Rose Tyler in 34 episodes from 2005 to 2008 before returning for one special in 2010 and another in 2013 marking the show’s 50th episode.

At the start of the year, Matt was also spotted with Brazilian model Jessica Felix

The two were snapped sharing a snog.

He counts models Daisy Lowe and Mayana Moura among his ex-flames.

He broke up with actress Lily James in 2019 but briefly rekindled their romance the following year.

Matt played Prince Philip in Netflix series The Crown, then landed a starring role in Game Of Thrones spin-off House Of The Dragon as Daemon Targaryen.
