The boxer sparked concern among his and Molly-Mae’s fans after he was seen in a clip being attacked by an attractive brunette, who playfully grabbed his face while dancing directly behind her.

The behaviour did not impress Molly, with a source telling The Sun: “Molly has made no secret of the fact that she doesn’t like Tommy having too much fun.

“This weekend ended up being a real embarrassment for her. She was mortified when she was tagged over and over again in videos while she was just trying to enjoy a festive weekend with Bambi.”

The former PrettyLittleThing creative director gave her fans a close-up of the surprise gift on Instagram, captioning the photo ‘1 year as fiancée (sic).’
