Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury are set to go on their first date since coupling up on Thursday’s episode of ‘Love Island’ (27.06.19).
The 20-year-old social media influencer is currently paired up with the hunky boxer – who is the brother of Tyson Fury – on the ITV2 reality show, and the loved-up duo will have their first opportunity to spend some alone time together outside of the villa, when a surprise text arrives telling them they have to leave for a date and it seems they’ll be on horseback.
The text reads: "Tommy and Molly-Mae you’re going on a date, please get ready to leave the villa #saddleup #toohottotrot (sic)"
An anxious Tommy tells the Beach Hut: "I’ve never rode a horse before, so I’m slightly nervous if it is that."
With the loved-up couple out of the villa, the other Islanders take the opportunity to speculate on Tommy’s friendship with 21-year-old surfer Lucie Donlan, and her recent revelation on Wednesday (26.06.19) night’s episode that she would "never say never" to a future romance with him.
After a catch up with Amy Hart, Curtis Pritchard tells the boys about Lucie’s comment.
He says: "I have heard something through the grapevine, that somebody asked Lucie ‘would you go there with Tommy, is that a complete closed door?’ and she said ‘never say never.’ "
An unimpressed Danny Williams responds: "In my opinion, that’s disrespectful. Whether you feel it or not, keep that to yourself."
Anton Danyluk adds: "I would actually be quite disappointed if that was the case. The impression I got was the next person she would be open to is someone that comes in that was 100% her type, and is very compatible with her."
Dubious as to Lucie’s motives, Danny continues: "I was under the impression that’s the only reason she was still here. Now after that comment, is she just waiting on the sidelines for something to go wrong?"
Lucie meanwhile is growing frustrated by the boundaries imposed on her relationship with Tommy and during a chat with the girls, she insists she is not going to "stop talking" to the boxer.
She says: "I’m not going to stop talking to him or stop acting like I did before around him, because I think that’s not really fair. It’s not normal. I don’t know if it’s him or her that’s come to this agreement. It’s weird to put an agreement on a friendship."
Elaborating further in the Beach Hut, Lucie declares the new boundaries have made her want to talk to Tommy more.
She adds: "The fact that there’s boundaries on the friendship now between me and Tommy just annoys me more so I feel like I just want to go and talk to him more now because that’s just how I am which is bad, but I think that’s just weird."
