We’re just going to say it: when we think of the best series of in Love Island history, the first one that comes to mind is series five – aka Love Island 2019.
As well as introducing us to iconic (and we mean ICONIC) islanders like Maura Higgins, Amber Gill, Anna Vakili and Michael Griffiths, the series also gave us one of the greatest Love Island love stories of all time, followed by the most unforgettable break-up of all time.
We’re, of course, talking about Tommy Fury and his ex-fiancée Molly-Mae Hague who finished second place in Love Island 2019. For a while it looked like they'd live happily ever after, but it all came crashing down in August 2024— a date that is seared into any Molly-Mae fan's brain.
Tommy also went back to his job as a boxer after leaving the villa, and if you want to know more, allow us to fill you in on everything you could possibly want to know…

Where is Tommy Fury from?
Tommy is originally from Manchester, although he moved into a swanky Cheshire mansion. Are you thinking what we're thinking? The words Real Housewives of Cheshire and Tommy Fury cameo spring to mind.

When was Tommy Fury on Love Island?
Tommy appeared on series five of Love Island in the summer of 2019. He entered as a bombshell alongside Curtis Pritchard on day one and quickly caught the eye of Lucie Donlan, who was in a couple with Joe Garratt at the time. However, despite a bit of flirting, Tommy and Lucie never coupled up as Molly-Mae entered the villa on day four and, well, the rest is history.
Tommy and Molly coupled up on day five and neither of them had their head turned the whole series (despite Maura's efforts to win over Tommy). They stayed in a couple all the way to the final, where they finished in second place behind winners Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea.

Just before the series aired, Tommy gave an interview to Men's Health where he admitted that the cause of the break-up was in fact his battle with alcoholism. He said, 'All I've been seeing for the past six months is "Cheater!," "He slept with me!", "He slept with this girl, he slept with that girl!" Complete and utter bollocks. 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."
