Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague traded light-hearted blows as they gave fans an insight into the wake of their split in the first episode of the boxer's new documentary, Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury.
The BBC Three series documents Tommy's 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 the opening episode, filmed while the couple were still broken up, the pair appeared to still be civil for the sake of two-year-old daughter Bambi as they made a series of playful jibes aimed at one another, with Molly 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.
The boxer and the influencer, both 26, shocked fans when they announced their split last August, after welcoming daughter Bambi and getting engaged the year prior - though they have since rekindled their romance.
After the 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!'
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!'
Last year, Tommy had surgery after secretly battling with a hand injury for some time, preventing him from getting back in the ring, which he said led to him getting 'black-out drunk' most nights.

In the debut episode, he can be seen opening up about his alcohol issues and how it affected his relationship with Molly, with Tommy confirming that his battle with drink was the reason they broke up.
As he reflected on the time of the split in which rumours swirled that he had cheated and even got another girl pregnant, Tommy insisted: 'The reason for the end of our relationship was alcohol.'
He then spoke about his injury to his right hand and the effect it had on him as he remarked: 'I couldn't train, box, lift weights, that was all gone... I lost my whole identity, lost my whole life.'
Tommy added: 'I was drinking a lot. You don't realise yourself at that point but other people around you do.'
His dad and trainer John Fury then featured as told how he recognised the signs following older son Tyson's battle with booze, noting how he advised Molly-Mae that she was best off 'walking away' from Tommy
Detailing how bad his drinking got, Tommy admitted: 'I hold my hands up, drink got hold of me. 20 shots a night, 20 beers, everyday I'd have a drink and I used to drink till I got blackout drunk.'
He then candidly confessed he didn't think that Molly would leave him.
Tommy went on to say that in their daughter's eyes, they were 'still a family' and nothing has changed for the tot, before noting that she's his biggest achievement and would die for her.
In an interview with The Mirror earlier this month, Tommy described how he spent a lot of time alone 'sitting in a big dark room' after the break-up.
He said: 'That's what I was doing most days. When you're in a big house all by yourself, you think about a lot of things, and you wish you could never go down that road, but it's happened.'
The docuseries will see the father-of-one recalling how his booze issues began, detailing: 'I had enough drink to last me a lifetime in 2024.
Last year, he had surgery after secretly battling with a hand injury for some time, preventing him from getting back in the ring, which he said led to him getting 'black-out drunk' most nights
'Suddenly, one day, you find that all you can do is sit down and then a few of them [drinks], it takes the pain away. You forget where you are, you forget what's going on. And sometimes you want that feeling all the time, and that's where obviously it starts.'
Tommy went on: 'Now, when I look at that person from back then, I don't even recognise that guy. It's just not me. Back then, I didn't really care about anything. It was like the world going by, wasn't bothered, and that's just not me.'
While he says he's not completely sworn off alcohol forever, the brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, insists he now barely drinks and will save booze for special occasions.
He explained: 'Going forward, if it's a wedding or something like that, I might have a couple of drinks. Four or five times a week is something nobody should be doing.'
Tommy and Molly-Mae met on the fifth series of Love Island back in 2019, going on to welcome Bambi into the world in January 2023 and then getting engaged later that year.
However they shocked fans when they announced that they had gone their separate ways in August 2024.
The internet was abuzz with speculation and theories over what had happened to cause their split, but it was not until January that Tommy revealed it was due to his dependency on alcohol.
In May, he admitted '2024 was the worst year of my life' and described how he spent 'a long time on a dark path' in an unflinching Good Morning Britain interview.
He explained: 'Ever since I've been small from 5,6,7,8, all I've ever done is boxed, I've never had another job outside of boxing. I've always thought, breathed and done everything boxing.
'When you do that for such a long time and then all of a sudden you're sat in a hospital bed and you're thinking to the future of a year down the line.
'You're thinking to yourself, "I've never done anything else other than box, what am I going to do to pass the time? How am I going to get through this?" You fall into a dark place.
'Being in a position where boxing is everything, the fact I couldn't do that and get out of bed in the morning and do what I wanted to do to make me happy, I just thought s*** it all.
'You go down that dark route and you go down there for a few weeks and you end up staying there for a very long time and that has consequences.'
Tommy admitted: '2024 was the worst year of my life and this year's going to be the best year of my life, it starts on Friday, I've turned it all around.
'I'm happy mentally now, I've got to go through these challenges in life. Everyone's got a hard life.
'I've come through this, I'm on the other side and I'm back doing what I do best.'
