An interesting fact about Tommy Fury?

Tommy is the younger brother of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury. However, Tommy doesn't want to be defined by his older brother.

"I'm my own man and I've said it throughout my whole boxing career," he said in his official ITV promo interview for this year's series. "I don't want to be labelled as his little brother, I'm my own man and I'm doing the best that I can do in life and that's all I'm setting out to achieve."

Speaking about his aims for the villa, Tommy said he's all about finding a bromance as much as he is love.

"I won't be afraid to go and have a splash about in the pool, I'll mingle with people and find out about everyone because at the end of the day I'll be living with these people for a long time so it'll be nice to see if I have a bromance in there, along with a relationship,' he said "It's nice to be a bit standoutish."

As for his main trick for wooing the ladies, Tommy says it's all down to "a lot of eye contacts," adding, "because I've got piercing blue eyes and after you see them, it's usually game over."

Tommy's ex-girlfriend of two years, Millie Roberts, claims that Tommy dumped her to go on Love Island, after he suggested they split the £200,000 contestant fee.

"Going on this show is supposedly against everything he claimed to stand for. He wouldn't even like me watching the programme and would say the girls were disgusting because of their lip fillers and Botox. He hates all that," Millie told the Star on Sunday.

"When we were together, he wouldn't want me wearing make-up, short skirts or dresses or anything low-cut that showed any kind of cleavage. He's very strict about that sort of thing.



"I said if he thought I was going to watch my man on national TV kissing and doing God knows what with other women then he was crazy.

"He said I was right and he'd turn it down. Then a week later he split up with me and tried to say it was because his parents didn't think he should have a girlfriend right now."

Love Island returns to ITV2 on Monday 3rd June at 9pm.
