Tommy Fury reveals what it's REALLY like co-parenting Bambi with Molly-Mae Hague in 'tricky' scenes from BBC documentary
The Love Island stars, both 26, shocked fans when they announced their split last August, after welcoming daughter Bambi, two, and getting engaged the year prior - though they have since rekindled their romance.
The boxer's new BBC Three series, Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury, documents his battle with alcohol, as he reveals how it caused him to neglect his responsibilities as a father and partner and ultimately causing his relationship to fall apart.
And in scenes from when he and Molly-Mae were separated while he was looking after Bambi, Tommy opened up about what has made it 'tricky' to co-parent the toddler in the wake of their split.
'Obviously it's tricky because Molly's at her house and I'm here at the minute,' Tommy said as he was seen helping Bambi get ready and tucking her into bed.
'When Bambi's here, it's all me, and when she's there, it's all her, so it is tricky. I'm wrapped around her little finger ten times so I'll literally do anything for her.
'But at least with Molly she knows she can't get away with it... but with me, she definitely can. She can get away with murder.'
Elsewhere in the documentary, Tommy and Molly-Mae traded light-hearted blows as they gave fans an insight into the wake of their split.
In the opening episode, filmed while the couple were still broken up, the pair appeared to still be civil for the sake of Bambi as they made a series of playful jibes aimed at one another.
Molly was seen taking a swipe at his fashion sense while Tommy questioned her intelligence.
Meanwhile, Tommy, opened up on the real reason behind the couple's split, categorically denying that cheating had anything to do with their relationship falling apart.
After their split, Molly and Bambi proceeded to move out of the sprawling Cheshire mansion the family shared leaving Tommy alone and the episode shows Tommy Facetiming little Bambi and Molly as he eats breakfast amid his new single life.
And despite them no longer being together at the time, Molly couldn't help but comment on Tommy's choice of clothing, asking of his grey zip-up sweater: 'You're not going to wear that jumper while you're filming are you? It isn't good!'
Looking down at his top, Tommy responded: 'Why are you throwing insults at 8.30 in the morning? About my jumper!'
'Obviously it's tricky because Molly's at her house and I'm here at the minute,' Tommy said as he was seen helping Bambi get ready and tucking her into bed
Molly, who has her own clothing brand Maebe, then went on to make a comment on the zip detail of his top, noting that it's 'quite girly', adding: 'that's on a lot of girls' stuff'.
However, seemingly over Molly's jibes, Tommy simply responds: 'Alright' before giving a deep sigh.
Another look at the pair's post-split dynamic comes later in the documentary as Tommy reflects on the love and pride he has for daughter Bambi, before making a cheeky dig at Molly's intelligence.
He said: 'I couldn't be more proud of her. She's stunning, she's clever...
'I don't know where she got the clever from because me and her mother aren't the brightest of bunches!'
Smirking to the camera, he then backtracks saying: 'I'll speak for myself actually, Molly will probably have a dig at me for that!'

Tommy was supported by his parents Chantal and John as well as brother Roman as they posed for sweet family snaps at the premiere for the documentary at The Printworks on Tuesday.
Notably, Tommy's girlfriend Molly-Mae was missing from the event amid Tommy's vow to keep their relationship private following their recent reconciliation.
Staying true to his word, Tommy happily posed for a number of fun solo snaps as he promoted his show at the screening.

Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito infamous kiss recreated in new tv drama
The infamous kiss between Amanda Knox and boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito has been recreated for a new TV drama. The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, a new Hulu series, follows the life of Knox, who spent four years wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of roommate Meredith Kercher. One scene in the drama, which premiered on Wednesday (August 20), shows Grace Van Patten, playing Knox, kissing Giuseppe De Domenico, who plays Sollecito, just days after the murder in November 2007. The kiss, which took place outside the flat where Kercher's body was found, resulted in some in the media portraying Knox as a 'sinister seductress'. Knox and Sollecito were convicted of the killing, before later being acquitted when drifter Rudy Guede was found guilty.

Irvine Welsh: Reality Is Not Enough review – a candid portrait of a literary one-off
No one would reject the title of national treasure more fiercely, but more good-humouredly, than Irvine Welsh. The brilliant Scottish writer and creator of Trainspotting takes centre-stage in Paul Sng's documentary with just the same unassumingly athletic ease as in all of his other public appearances. For someone who has done as much drink and drugs and as many late nights as Welsh, he looks very good. This film is a great way to round off the Edinburgh film festival; Welsh is, after all, Edinburgh's greatest living public figure. His 60s childhood in Leith and Muirhouse was followed by a spell in London, then twentysomething years back in Edinburgh during the 80s, studying at Heriot-Watt and working for the council, during which time he began to write. Like many other articles or documentaries about Welsh, this one shows us how he is an inveterate traveller and globetrotter, unselfconsciously having fun in LA and on the international literary festival circuit. It also shows us he is someone who has a passionate love of music and sports, which he quite genuinely regards as equal in his affections to literature. With other writers, Scottish or otherwise, I would regard this as a sneaky affectation, a pose designed to bolster side-hustle gigs in longform journalism. But no, for Welsh it is quite real; we see him playing football (impressively) and working out in a Florida boxing gym (even more impressively), skipping like a prizefighter and sparring. We also see him with third wife Emma Currie, exchanging teasing gags about how posh she is, although he doesn't talk about his previous two wives. And along with his other enthusiasms, there are drugs, about which he is unrepentant; the dodgy street stuff does appear to be a thing of the past, although Welsh does not make unambiguous statements on this point. One big set piece of this documentary is Welsh's visit to a special clinic in Toronto where he takes the hallucinogen DMT under supervision – and the film keeps flashing back to Irvine, wearing an eye mask, in a DMT-trance, perhaps suggesting that everything in the film is the kind of personal stuff he is re-experiencing. Welsh has clearly done so many interviews that he can absorb any question without it discomposing or even surprising him in the slightest – but one radio interviewer asks him how he feels about his heroin years and how he feels about the people who died as a result of the addiction that he encouraged. Welsh pauses, and for a moment I wondered if he was going to get angry – and Welsh angry would surely be a very formidable proposition. But he answers equably enough that we all take responsibility for our own actions. A point that forms an angry exchange in Trainspotting. Welsh does not mystify the writer's art, he is not grand or self-aware about it, in the way that many far less talented or successful writers would consider to be a part of their vocational entitlement. But there is something oddly opaque in Welsh, a learned taciturnity about the creative process which his easy-going frankness and unpretentiousness masks. At any rate, he's an amazing one-off. Irvine Welsh: Reality Is Not Enough screened at the Edinburgh film festival.

Shonda Rhimes: Bridgerton isn't a romance - it's a workplace drama
It began with an abandoned novel in a hotel room."I was sick, and in bed and I don't even like romance novels," says Shonda Rhimes."But I read it, and despite being ill, dragged myself out of bed and down to the nearest book shop to buy them all."The book was The Duke and I by Julia Quinn. The first of eight novels about the children of a family in regency England, it was perhaps not the obvious choice for a woman of colour - but became the basis for Rhimes's hit series Bridgerton, starring Nicola Coughlan, Jonathan Bailey and Simone showrunner's contribution to television was honoured on Wednesday when she was awarded the inaugural Edinburgh fellowship at the TV festival. "I didn't see it as a romance," she says. "It was more of a workplace drama. "The women don't have power in other areas of their lives, the power is in how they marry, so it becomes a workplace. And that's where the drama is."More importantly, I could see myself in them. If a black woman in 21st century America can see herself in regency England, it's a good story."Speaking to Mishal Husain on stage at the festival, which is marking its 50th year, she told delegates she applied for film school rather than law school because she read an article that said it was harder to get in - and as the youngest of six children, she wanted to impress her leaving film school, she worked as an office administrator but wrote in her spare time. Her first idea, a romantic comedy about an older white woman, accidentally matched to a younger black man, was sold but never made. The birth of her first child gave her time to watch lots of television."I watched all of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and started to realise, ah that's where the character development happens," she said."You also realise how important these TV characters are. You spend more hours with Meredith Grey, that you spend with your own family."Meredith Grey is the titular character of Grey's Anatomy, the series Rhimes created in 2005 after a show about female war correspondents was rejected and she was told the head of Disney wanted a medical became a huge hit."Every week, the ratings would go up and up and I had no idea what that meant because I'd never worked in TV before," she said. "And then the network started to send me presents." The network - ABC - relied on the show for their lucrative Thursday night slot and continue to make it today with season 22 and the 450th episode currently in Rhimes's production company, was a play on Disneyland and is now one of the most influential television companies in the has offices in New York, Los Angeles and London, where Bridgerton is admits the arrival of the show in Christmas 2020, when the world was in lockdown, boosted viewing figures - "my stories help people escape, rather than ground them in reality" - but even she is surprised by the extent of the said: "It wasn't just a global show. It became a lifestyle brand. People got Bridgerton tea sets, there were Bridgerton proms and weddings." Each season concentrates on a different member of the Bridgerton family. She plans to make all eight books in the series, with season four which is focused on Benedict Bridgerton currently in post to her decision to reflect a diverse range of people on screen, she insists that she would never make a show "that didn't have me in it."She said she wasn't aware of media criticism of the show as "woke" and and thought a headline saying it "pandered to woke culture" was "cute".She said she was astonished to be the inaugural winner of the Edinburgh Fellowship said: "Most of the time, I'm alone and writing so it's moments like these that make you realise the impact of what you do."
