Molly also failed to mark the event on social media and shared no posts to support Tommy and his show.
But The Sun understands that Molly skipped the event as she was keen to not "overshadow" the launch of Tommy's programme and let him have his own time in the spotlight following their up and down 12 months.
A source told The Sun: "Molly is keen to keep a low profile at the moment.
"She is obviously back with Tommy but it's his night and doesn't want to overshadow it.
"It's been a funny time for Molly - she's very thick skinned but she's had a lot to deal with and isn't used to backlash."
A representative for Molly told The Sun that she was "away working" and very busy which caused her to miss the event.
Current social media snaps show Molly enjoying a sunny break away with her best pal, Tayla-Blue.
The best friend duo could be seen enjoying a relaxing evening by the beach with their children yesterday evening in snaps shared to Tayla's social media feed.
One photo showed Molly and her daughter Bambi attempting to take a splash in the sea.
Whilst other snaps showed Bambi looking stylish on the beach.

For Tommy, he was joined by his parents in Manchester for a screening of BBC show The Good. The Bad. The Fury, which sees him rehash details of their recent split, as well as make a series of shock revelations about it.
In the show, he made the shock revelation that he was downing "20 shots a night" and drinking to get "blackout drunk" ahead of their split last year.
He said: "The reason for our ending the relationship was alcohol."
He added: "I couldn't train, box, lift weights, that was all gone.
"My right hand was messed up, I was in dire pain, it's just what happens over years of impact on the hand.
"I had lost my entire identity, lost my life."

Emily Atack reveals Rivals nude scene secrets as she vows to go on playing sexy women ‘for as long as they'll have me'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DOOMED love affair, naked tennis and plenty of sex are just some of the things that Emily Atack's character Sarah Stratton gets up to in telly bonkbuster Rivals. And the actress reckons she is the ideal person to play the blonde bombshell — as she is practically the same person. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Emily Atack reckons she is practically the same person as her Rivals character 6 The naked tennis match featuring Emily's character Sarah Stratton is a key scene in Jilly Cooper's original novel Credit: Planet Photos 6 Emily says she 'wasn't afraid to identify' with her Rivals character Credit: Instagram @emilyatack Emily, 35, is seen in the Disney+ eight-parter having her heart broken by sexy Lothario Rupert Campbell-Black, which she says she can definitely relate to. She revealed: 'I wasn't afraid to identify with her and I completely, I AM her. 'I'm a very flawed woman. 'I've made terrible decisions in my love life. 'I used all of that — it was completely genuine — and yes, I used the vulnerability, all of it. 'Finally, women are being written about in a certain way. 'These demonised women, they're not being celebrated but they are being understood better. 'Women like Sarah Stratton have never been written with nuance. 'They're always certain types of women — the demonised types of women, you know, the home wreckers and everything. 'Big furry knickers' 'I think people have been quite scared to admit that they identify with characters like Sarah.' Emily Atack says stripping for Rivals and playing naked tennis 'was liberating' In Rivals, Sarah is a wannabe TV host who is married to Deputy Prime Minister Paul Stratton, played by Rufus Jones, and is unquestionably one of the most glamorous characters on the show — which Emily loved. The actress, who shot to fame playing Charlotte 'Big Jugs' Hinchcliffe on Channel 4 sitcom The Inbetweeners, says: 'There are roles that come along and the term 'typecast' is always seen as this negative thing. 'I've been typecast my whole life and I loved every single minute of it. 'I will carry on playing these sexy women for as long as they will have me.' Having been romantically linked to a string of celebrities, ranging from Harry Styles to Jack Grealish, Emily is now in engaged to scientist Dr Alistair Garner, with whom she shares 16-month-old son Barney. Her stint on The Inbetweeners from 2008 to 2010 led to a long line of other work ranging from stand-up comedy to acting. Rivals, which has been a hit around the globe since it came out last year, is arguably her biggest gig to date — and it's one which, arguably, she was destined to play. I just made it my part before they could even make a decision. This particular one I was like, yeah they'd be stupid not to (hire me.) Emily Atack Talking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Emily revealed how producers specifically had her in mind for the role, which she embraced. She said: 'The breakdown for the characters said, 'Think Emily Atack', so they went, 'Well, let's just get Emily, then.' 'I still had to audition. 'I went in with all the get-up on and they thought I'd dressed up. 'I was actually just going to a bar afterwards. 'They were like, 'Thank you so much for dressing as the role,' I was like, 'No worries.'' 6 Emily is now in engaged to scientist Dr Alistair Garner Credit: Instagram 6 Emily is seen in the Disney+ eight-parter having her heart broken by sexy Lothario Rupert Campbell-Black Credit: Instagram She added sarcastically: 'I had to dig REAL deep for my character. 'As soon as you read something like that it naturally flows out of you. 'You naturally feel at home with it. 'That's how I felt with Sarah Stratton. 'I just made it my part before they could even make a decision. 'This particular one I was like, yeah they'd be stupid not to (hire me.)'' Now Emily is reprising her role as Sarah, opposite Alex Hassell as Tory MP Rupert, in the second series of Rivals which is halfway through filming and is expected to drop late next year. 'Stick-on muff' She can't emphasise enough how well the cast get on, which is partly down to their 'no d***s on set' policy — meaning no bad behaviour. That rule was also essential when she and Alex had to film their naked tennis match in the grounds of Rupert's grand stately house, which is a key scene in Jilly Cooper's original novel. It has become synonymous with the show, and earlier this year it was even nominated as one of Bafta's TV Moments Of The Year. Well-endowed Rupert was supposed to have a member that he could 'bat bread rolls' with, and the creative team did consider giving him an oversized prosthetic to wear. But while they opted for the actor to go with the 'model's own' option, Emily had something more than a tennis racket and balls to cover herself up — and it was not just for reasons of modesty. She revealed: 'I had a stick-on muff. 6 Emily shot to fame playing Charlotte 'Big Jugs' Hinchcliffe on Channel 4 sitcom The Inbetweeners Credit: Handout 'I had to have a merkin, it's called, and I had all these fittings for them. 'They were going: 'Oh no, it's too blonde that one,' and it had to be a proper Eighties bush. 'But that actually helped because it actually just felt like I had these big furry knickers on, and I kept looking at the monitor going: 'Oh, do I look alright? Oh God!' 'And seeing yourself naked on camera like that is so weird and jarring but once I'd seen it I was like, oh, fine. 'I couldn't put my clothes back on. 'It was quite liberating. 'They were like, 'Emily, can you put your clothes back on now?'' But she was keen to point out that despite the sexual nature of the scenes and the nudity, she never felt uncomfortable because, like on other dramas, intimacy co-ordinators were on set. 'Safe environment' They were needed on Rivals as there were many sex scenes involving a lot of characters — which, of course, were all based on the sauciness in Jilly's books. Emily said: 'It's a very new profession, the intimacy co-ordinators. 'Everybody is still navigating it and working it out. 'But I'm really proud of Rivals and it is such a massive representation of how far we have come in the industry in terms of taking care of people's needs and emotions. 'It's such a safe environment, and I'm not just saying that because I'm on it.' Filming of series two started in May and will continue until February, with Jilly back, heavily involved in the production. The novelist has even invited all the cast to an enormous party — which means Emily will jet down from Edinburgh to the West Country immediately after her stint at the TV festival. Then she will go direct from partying to filming her next scenes in Rivals. Emily said: 'Yes, I'm going to Jilly Cooper's house tonight. 'My pick-up time is hideous tomorrow, though — they do that to me so I don't stay out too late!'

BBC ‘not institutionally antisemitic', says Observer's editor-in-chief
James Harding said the perception of a 'political presence looming over the BBC' is a problem and the broadcaster needs to be 'beyond the reach of politicians'. The BBC has been criticised for a number of incidents in recent months which include breaching its own accuracy editorial guidelines and livestreaming the Bob Vylan Glastonbury set, where there were chants of 'Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)'. Following the incident, UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said ministers expect 'accountability at the highest levels' for the BBC's decision to screen the performance. Mr Harding discussed the difficulties of covering the Gaza conflict when he delivered this year's James MacTaggart Memorial Lecture at the Edinburgh TV Festival on Wednesday. He described how 'newsrooms are in a furious argument with ourselves over the coverage of Israel and Gaza', with the situation 'very hard to view dispassionately'. The Observer chief said this is true for all media organisations, particularly the BBC, and it is 'about as difficult as it gets in news'. Mr Harding said: 'This summer, Lisa Nandy has weighed in.' He said the Culture Secretary's office insists she did not explicitly ask Samir Shah, the BBC chairman, to 'deliver up' director-general Tim Davie's resignation following the Bob Vylan incident, but 'people inside the BBC were left in no doubt that was the message'. Mr Harding said: 'The place became paranoid about how the BBC itself would cover the story; people around him thought the political pressure would be too much. 'Whatever your view of the hate speech vs freedom of speech issues, an overbearing Government minister doesn't help anyone. 'The hiring and firing of the editor-in-chief of the country's leading newsroom and cultural organisation should not be the job of a politician. It's chilling. 'Political interference – and the perception of a political presence looming over the BBC – is a problem, one that we've got too accustomed to. 'It looks likely to get worse. We need to get on with putting the country's most important editorial and creative organisation beyond the reach of politicians now.' James Harding gave the James MacTaggart Memorial Lecture at the Edinburgh TV Festival (Alamy/PA) The broadcaster is also facing an Ofcom investigation into its documentary Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone after a review found it had breached the corporation's editorial guidelines on accuracy. The programme was removed from BBC iPlayer in February after it emerged the child narrator, Abdullah, is the son of Ayman Alyazouri, who has worked as Hamas's deputy minister of agriculture. Mr Harding said the BBC is not antisemitic. 'I am Jewish, proudly so,' he said. 'I'm proud, too, to have worked for the most important news organisation in the world. 'The BBC is not institutionally antisemitic. It's untrue to say it is. 'It's also unhelpful – much better to correct the mistakes and address the judgment calls that have been wrong, than smear the institution, impugn the character of all the people who work there and, potentially, undermine journalists in the field working in the most difficult and dangerous of conditions.' The UK Government and the BBC have been asked for comment. Mr Harding is co-founder of Tortoise Media, which acquired broadsheet newspaper The Observer in April. Before he co-founded Tortoise Media, Mr Harding was editor of The Times from 2007 to 2012 and was in charge of the BBC's news and current affairs programming from 2013 up until the beginning of 2018. He also co-presented On Background on the BBC World Service and wrote the book Alpha Dogs: How Political Spin Became A Global Business. A spokesperson for the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport said: 'The Culture Secretary has been repeatedly clear that the role of the director-general is a matter for the BBC board. Any suggestion to the contrary is untrue. 'The BBC has itself acknowledged a number of serious failings in recent months, including the broadcasting of the Bob Vylan set at Glastonbury. 'It is entirely right that the Culture Secretary raised these issues with the BBC leadership on behalf of licence fee payers.'

John Crawley dead: TikTok star dies at 47 after being placed on ventilator
TikTok creator John Crawley, widely recognized online as KingBeardX and Pimpmunkx, has died at 47 after suffering a cardiac arrest, TMZ has reported. Crawley passed away Monday in hospital after spending over two weeks under medical care, according to James Steele of Glenfield Funeral Home in New Albany, Mississippi. His longtime friend and former podcast cohost Anthony Caruso launched a GoFundMe during Crawley's hospitalization, revealing the content creator had been admitted to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo with breathing difficulties. It comes after Jessie J made a heartbreaking confession about the darkest moment of her cancer diagnosis. He was later placed on a ventilator, transferred to the ICU, and had a chest tube inserted before his death. Crawley gained a massive following for his comedic reactions to food videos, amassing over 2.5 million followers on TikTok and nearly 1 million on Instagram. With no medical insurance and as his family's main source of income, a GoFundMe was launched by friends of John Crawley to cover funeral expenses and provide financial support for his loved ones. 'Knowing him personally, John was a good guy. He lit up a lot of people's worlds,' funeral director James Steele told TMZ. 'I just left his house and was with his mother, we prayed together. She's torn up right now but she's going to make it.' On August 4, a family member shared a health update on the fundraising page: 'He went to the hospital; he was having trouble breathing. Doctors put him on a ventilator… we went past 66% (O2 levels) and he stopped breathing. They (put him into the ICU and) brought it back up to 100% (O2 levels). He just had a tube placed in his chest… his breathing condition is still very bad.' Sadly, the page was later updated on Tuesday by Anthony Caruso with news of Crawley's death. 'I'm really sorry to tell everyone the bad news but Pimpmunkx (KingBeardx) passed away yesterday,' he wrote. 'Thank you to everyone that has supported the fundraiser so far. His mother says told me to thank you all.' He added: 'The fundraiser will continue to go on to support fundraising a funeral/helping John's mother.' Over $2,228 had been raised toward the $9,000 goal. Crawley's final TikTok post was shared on July 22, and since news of his passing broke, fans have been flooding social media with tributes. One devastated TikTok user wrote: "You made us laugh on our darkest days, thank you for sharing your light, KingBeardX." Another echoed: "Gone too soon, but your voice and humor will live on forever in our feeds." Someone else added: "Thank you for always keeping it real man. You made the internet feel like home."
