Molly-Mae Hague suffers Bambi mishap before welcoming Tommy Fury home with sweet display

Molly-Mae Hague suffered a slightly inconvenient mishap with baby daughter Bambi before the pair welcomed Tommy Fury home after his victory in the ring. The Manchester boxer emerged victorious over the weekend when he defeated Jake Paul by split decision following their much-anticipated grudge match that has been two years in the making.

The long-standing feud finally came to a conclusion at Diriyah Arena on Sunday evening (February 26) and Tommy took a standing count for a knockdown in the final round – with the British fighter claiming to have slipped – but had earlier done enough to earn a split decision on the judges' cards.

Despite being unable to watch the fight herself back in the UK as she solo-parented their four-week-old daughter, as a video posted on Instagram by her sister shows, Molly-Mae didn't hide her pride for her man, who she met and fell in love with on Love Island in 2019.

After his win, the new mum, who was joined at home by her sister Zoe and friends Maura Higgins, Stephanie Lam and Ellen Graham as the nailbiting event took place, said on her Instagram Stories: "Never a doubt in my mind." She then posted an image of her and Tommy sharing a kiss as she breastfed their baby girl as he left home a few weeks ago to prepare for his fight.

"The pressure that was on his boys shoulders... I will never, ever know how he dealt with it. Never been more proud of anyone in my life." She then added: "GET HOME TO US OUR CHAMP," alongside a crying emoji. She also shared his dedication to her and their baby girl with her millions of followers and simply added a white heart emoji.

And he listened as on Monday evening (February 27), 24 hours after being awarded the specially created 'Diriyah Champion' belt from the WBC, Tommy emerged through the doors of the couple's Cheshire home, with the victory belt still slung over his shoulder, to a sweet display set-up by his girlfriend.

Molly-Mae had filled their hallway with white, gold, a grey balloons as a huge sign stood in the corner which read: "Welcome home Champ!" in large gold lettering alongside matching boxing gloves before it also read: "We are so proud of you." As Tommy, 23, walked through the door, Molly-Mae, also 23, emerged from behind the balloons and the pair shared a warm embrace.

"MY CHAMP," she typed alongside the sweet video which she set to the Coldplay track, A Sky Full of Stars. She then shared a second picture which showed Tommy back with his baby girl in his arms. "Complete," Molly-Mae said as the family-of-three were finally reunited after two weeks.

And Tommy's return came after Molly-Mae treated herself to a trip to the salon. She revealed a new hairstyle with fresh extensions adding long length to her blonde tresses. "You can tell Jesus that the b**** is back," she wrote, quoting the TV show Gossip Girl, as she shared a selfie.

Molly-Mae also tugged at heartstrings with an adorable video of herself snuggling with baby Bambi to the Rema song Calm Down, saying the music comforts her daughter. "Two very happy girls today," she wrote. "Every time I play this song she stops crying."

But it appears Bambi didn't quite get her mum's 'new hair' memo as Molly-Mae shared a candid snap of her sick-covered hear while her sister, Zoe, could be seen laughing in the background while holding on to her newborn niece. "Bambi knew it was fresh hair day x," she wrote alongside the image.

After his win on Sunday night, Tommy, who is the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, said loving words dedicated to Molly-Mae and their tiny bundle of joy. "I want to dedicate this fight to my new baby girl Bambi at home and my Mrs, I love you. I can’t wait to see you. This fight was for you. It’s for you Bambi, I love you," he said.
