I’m A Celeb lines up scandal hit star who dropped out of 2024 show amid ‘worst year of his life’, say bookies

BOXER Tommy Fury is highly likely to get tapped for a second chance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, according to bookmakers.

The embattled boxer and Love Island alum, 26, was meant to head to the Aussie jungle for the show’s 2024 series but pulled out just weeks before it was set to start.

Tommy was believed to have dropped out of I’m A Celeb for a more lucrative offer, but it also came out a time when his personal life was in the pits.

The TV star battled with booze and late nights, and struggled with fame, leading to the end of his high profile relationship with his Love Island girlfriend, Molly-Mae Hague.

Bookmakers Ladbrokes have Tommy at short 2/1 odds to finally head Down Under this winter.

“Tommy Fury dealt I’m A Celebrity chiefs a knockout blow last year by turning his back on the show, but the latest odds suggest he’ll finally be set for a rumble in the jungle,” Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said.

While Tommy has not made any hints about his I’m A Celeb plans, he has managed to get his life back on tracks, including reuniting with Molly-Mae, with whom he shared two-year-old daughter, Bambi.

Tommy’s battle to give up booze and sort out his life has been documented in the BBC3 documentary The Good, The Bad, The Fury, which airs tonight.

It tracks his recovery from booze and return to the ring, after a difficult year following his split from Molly-Mae.

Viewers will see in the documentary how Tommy was so drunk, he did not remember Molly-Mae walking out on him last summer.

“I was actually drunk at that point,” he says in the doco about their relationship ending.

“So I don’t actually remember it well, which was even more upsetting.”

He goes on: “Having a drink is what cost me my entire family.”

In the documentary Tommy, who is the half-brother of ex-world champion Tyson, “bares all about the demons that drove him to drink” but denies allegations of cheating.

Tommy reckons: “I feel like whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

“It’s a long way behind me now.

“I’m not that person any more.”
