Tommy Fury made a huge declaration to Molly Mae Hague last month, which appears to be his ‘last ditch attempt’ to save their relationship.
On July 25, Molly shared an instagram story of a beaming Tommy delivering a huge bouquet to her to celebrate their one year engagement anniversary.

She captioned it: “Proud of himself.”
Molly also shared a separate shot of the flowers, writing “1 year as a fiancée.”
But after the shock news of their sudden split tonight, speculation is rife that this could have been the moment Tommy tried to salvage their crumbling relationship.
“Was this Tommy’s last ditch attempt to keep their relationship going?” pondered one report in the wake of the devastating break-up.

“The bigger the bouquet, the bigger the sin,” one fan added in the comments section.
“I used to receive flowers when my ex had done something rotten and knew it was going to come out soon,” speculated another.
Molly stunned her millions of followers earlier this afternoon when she announced the news she and Tommy had called it quits.
“Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this,” Molly-Mae said, just five weeks after celebrating half a decade together.
“After five years of being together I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.
“I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end.
“I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter.
“Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority.”
Molly-Mae added: “I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years.
“You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it’s right to share this with you all.
“Whilst I attempt to navigate the coming days and weeks, please kindly respect my privacy over this difficult time.
“I’ll be back when it feels right.
“Molly-Mae x”
Tommy then responded with a statement of his own where he said he was “heartbroken” and asked for “privacy.”
Tommy’s statement
“I am heartbroken to share that Molly & I have decided to end our relationship.
“The past 5 years have led us to having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi, and I will forever be thankful to Molly for making me a dad.
“Bambi is our priority.”
He continued: “Please respect our privacy, and our families privacy, as we navigate our way through this difficult time.”
Molly also recently hinted at struggles behind the scenes.
In a new vlog posted last week,  the influencer admitted she’d been feeling guilt as she struggled to find balance in her life while Tommy was away.
She told fans she has been “solo parenting” for the last two weeks as Tommy was occupied recording his audiobook.
“He’s done it now, and I’m so proud of him, because I know that was a really big deal to him, but I have been solo parenting pretty much the entire week,” she said.
“Actually I’ve been solo parenting for like, two weeks now, basically because Tommy’s just been so busy.
“When he’s home from doing work and stuff, he’s so incredible and so helpful. I can’t say any different, like, he’s such an incredible dad, but I have been this week, like, just really… mum life has been mum lifeing.”
‘Molly and Tommy appeared to be picture perfect, their break-up was completely unexpected’

GASPS of horror echoed around our desks as Molly Mae revealed she had split from Tommy.
The break up, after five years, was completely unexpected.
In recent months, the pair had faced rumours he had a roving eye after he was spotted partying with women – all while Molly-Mae was at home holding their baby.
Her statement smacks of something that has yet to come to light.
Although she’s written it with a clever PR eye watching over it, Molly’s devastation spills out in every word.
As I type, my WhatsApp groups are flashing up with texts about how this seemingly rock solid couple have crumbled into nothing.
Just three weeks ago, Molly posted a video of the moment Tommy proposed – after he pulled an elaborate stunt which ended up with him getting down on one knee.
The pair’s relationship, complete with Love Island fan-favourite Ellie Bellie and, later, the arrival of their daughter Bambi, appeared to outsiders to be picture perfect.
Molly has built her brand around her wholesome family life with Tommy.
Cosy photographs are carefully curated for her Instagram grid, with her 7.9million followers poring over her every word as they attempt to emulate her life.
In truth, Molly is one of the only Love Islanders I, along with a number of my friends, follow on social media for her girl next door vibe and stylish fashion picks.
Celebrity breakups are often ten a penny, but there is something shocking about the ending of what, on the surface, appeared to be such a happy relationship.
Earlier this year, at Soccer Aid, Tommy was cagey when asked about their upcoming wedding plans by one of my colleagues.
It wasn’t altogether too strange, as most blokes aren’t overly keen to chat about their missus when they’re with their mates playing football.
But it was a definite gear change from the Tommy many of us have interviewed over the years, as he was always so gushing about his bride-to-be.
Thousands of Molly-Mae’s fans, and no doubt a number of Instagram and Tattle Life sleuths, will now be combing the internet and social media for clues.
And given the number of calls coming into our desk, I have no doubt that the real reason Molly-Mae ended things with Tommy will come to light in the next few hours.
As a genuine fan and follower, I really hope she is being supported by the people who love her most.
Break ups suck at the best of times. But when you’re in the public eye, and you choose to announce your split so suddenly – and clearly without mutual consent – they are a hell of a lot harder.
