Tommy Fury ‘lined up for another ITV reality show’ after quitting I’m A Celeb talks weeks before flying out to Australia
ACCORDING to TV insiders ITV bosses are trying to coax Tommy Fury into signing up for a huge reality show.
The boxer previously agreed to appear on this year’s series of I’m A Celeb but pulled out just weeks before filming started.
It is believed he changed his mind after getting a higher paying offer from a rival that was going into production during the time he would have needed to be in Australia.
The more lucrative project is said to be a rematch between him and KSI.
Now the Mirror has revealed he is being “eyed up” for the next series of Celebrity Big Brother.
An insider source told the publication: “These are big money offers flying around, as Tommy is hot property.
“Everyone who followed his relationship wants to know why they split so suddenly, so signing him for another reality series would be a huge ratings boost.”
Molly-Mae Hague publicly split up with Tommy in August, which she announced via an Instagram story.
Her heartbreaking statement read: “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this.
“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.”
It was reported that their five year relationship ended over cheating, which Tommy has since denied doing.
Ahead of his autobiography’s release, he said: “I think if you were going to cheat on someone you should just sit down and say, ‘I don’t love you any more’, clearly, because you want to go and pursue other people.
‘When you get to that stage, I think you should just call it a day. If you want to go out there and have affairs with women then you definitely shouldn’t be with your partner. Definitely not. And have I ever reached that point? No.”
Tommy has also recently declared that he still loves Molly and will do whatever it takes to win her back.
