Tommy Fury calls Molly-Mae the ‘woman of my dreams’ and says ‘I’ll love her until his dying breath’ after split

TOMMY Fury has called ex-fiancée Molly-Mae Hague “the woman of my dreams” in his first interview since their split.

The Love Island sweethearts shocked fans earlier this year when they separated amid reports Tommy had cheated on her on a lads’ holiday.

He has since moved out of their £4m Cheshire mansion but they continue to co-parent daughter Bambi.

Speaking to the Mail, Tommy says he has no desire to move on from Molly-Mae and will win her back.

He said: “The minute I saw her I thought ‘YEEEESSS. She’s the woman of my dreams’.

The professional boxer continued: “We were together for five and a half years. You don’t stay with someone, have a child with them, get engaged, if it is only a bit of a fling.

“It is proper love. Do I still love Molly? 100 per cent. I will love her until my final breath.”

The sportsman insists he never cheated on Molly-Mae and cryptically added that only the two of them know what really caused their rift.

Tommy added that he’s determined to win Molly-Mae back and knows what he needs to do to make that happen.

Lidl drops £7.99 gadget that helps dry your washing quickly – it takes up no extra space & will reduce damp and mould

HAVING wet washing hanging around inside is not only unsightly, but it can also cause condensation, damp and mould.

Luckily, Lidl has a brilliant gadget that can help you laundry dry during the winter months.

The Livarno Home Over Bath Airer can be folded and stowed away[/caption]

And unlike other airers, it isn’t bulky, and you don’t have to sit looking at it whilst you’re on the sofa.

The Livarno Home Over Bath Airer will be available in stores from 6th October.

It is one of many items launching into the Middle Aisle’s for Bathroom week.

The over bath airer is suitable for all standard baths, and described as durable and sturdy thanks to its plastic feet and locking joints.

It is also versatile and can be positioned horizontal (opened completely flat), free-standing (as a triangle) or leaning (various angles).

Unlike an electric airer, this one can be folded and stowed away to save space when not in use.

It’s perfect for anyone limited on space!

As for how much it can dry – the drying space is said to be 7m in total.

It can hold a 14kg load – that’s two loads of washing if you’ve got a small washing machine!

Also heading into stores on the same day is the Silvercrest Fan Heater.

Priced at just £9.99, it can help dry your washing (if the airer is not located in the bathroom).

With an adjustable temperature, the heater can also be used cold, as a fan.

It has a tip and overheat protection for extra safety, a practical handle on the back and a cable length of 180cm.

It has two heat settings: 1000W/​2000W and a three year warranty.

Customers can choose from black or white.

If you’re looking for ways to heat your home this winter, then Silvercrest Glass Convector Heater could be right up your street.

It is a stylish heater with a sleek glass front, adjustable temperature control and two heat settings 1000W/​2000W.

It doesn’t require a big set up – simply plug it in, and place it where you want it – and feel the warmth in seconds.

Customers can purchase it for £34.99 from 6th October, and it’s available in black or white.

Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts

IF you’ve ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you’ll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.

Aldi’s speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.

It’s all part of Aldi’s plan to be as efficient as possible – and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.

Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.

It also uses “shelf-ready” packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.

I was sex-trafficked & forced to have boob job so pimp could sell me as ‘curvy’ then made to have sex with 20 men a day

COMING round from surgery, Marie* felt woozy, her heart beat racing as she looked down at her chest and her new DD cup breasts.

She’d just undergone a boob job, but this wasn’t an operation she’d always wanted – sickeningly it was surgery done against her will, ordered by the wealthy man who had trafficked her to the UK to sell her for sex.

His twisted reason? He could now advertise mum-of-three Marie as ‘curvaceous’’ to punters, to rake in more cash.

Over the years she’d endured endless, hellish abuse – drugged, forced to have sex with 20 men a day, burned with cigarettes and threatened with being forcefully injected with heroin.

And, when she wasn’t having sex, Marie was forced to run for hours on an exercise machine by her exploiter – an upper-class wealthy businessman who was, and still is, well-respected within the local community – to ensure she kept her petite figure. 

Speaking exclusively to Fabulous from the Salvation Army safe house she now lives in west England, Marie says: “What I went through is shocking – but for me, none of that compared to the unbearable pain I felt when I thought about my three children back home, who had no idea what had happened to me.

“I became numb to the physical pain and violence, but I thought I might die of a broken heart when I thought about my children.”  

‘I was raped was my fifth birthday’

Sadly, while modern slavery and sex trafficking remain a very hidden crime many aren’t aware of, it’s a growing problem. 

The number of potential victims referred to the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) has increased substantially over the years, and it’s estimated there are over 100,000 modern slavery victims in the UK.

Marie, now 58, is originally from an country in Southern Africa, and has lived in a Salvation Army safe house since 2021. 

Before she was trafficked and sexually exploited in the UK, Marie had a traumatic childhood, which made her particularly susceptible to exploitation.

Speaking exclusively to Fabulous, brave Marie says: “The first time my stepfather raped me was on my fifth birthday.

“I would spend night after night wandering the streets and would sleep in bins just to avoid him. 

“He would also invite other men over to abuse me too around the age of 11. 

One time he beat me and put a gun to my head and raped me… I lived in fear”

Marie

“Two of them fathered two of my children, and I fell pregnant the first time aged 15. 

“Then I began to fight back and my mum divorced him, but he would still come to the house every other night.

“One time he beat me and put a gun to my head and raped me, and I fell pregnant with my third. I lived in fear.”

‘Anyone can become a victim’

While many victims, like Marie, have been trafficked into the country from overseas –  frequently eastern Europe, south east Asia and Africa – there is no ‘typical victim’ of slavery. 

Sadly, people like Marie, who have suffered previous abuse, are more vulnerable, however victims can be men, women and children of all ages, ethnicities and nationalities.

Scarily you could have encountered victims without even knowing. 

Unseen head of policy and research Lauren Saunders has eight years experience working directly with survivors of trafficking and exploitation. 

Speaking to Fabulous, Lauren says: “There is an increased awareness of the issue, but it’s still a very hidden crime. 

“A lot of people still don’t know what modern day slavery is, and it’s not widely acknowledged so if people are interacting with victims or survivors of modern slavery they’re not necessarily aware. 

“A big misconception is sex trafficking only happens to people from overseas, when actually a big proportion are actually UK nationals, exploited in the UK and gang involvement is a big part of that. 

“Anyone can be a victim of it if that person is vulnerable – say they’ve lost their house, are struggling financially, or have had a relationship breakdown. Anything that makes someone vulnerable could be manipulated by a gang member.”

‘I was so grateful initially’ 

To escape her troubled upbringing, Christian Marie spent a lot of time at the local church, and that’s where she met the couple that would go on to exploit her, when she was 20. 

She says: “The family who bought me here were very well-respected. The man was British, had a good job in tech and was part of an upper-class family. 

“He would travel to developing countries for work, working with governments to set up new projects, and that was how he ended up in my country.”

After gaining her trust, Marie confided in his wife one day about the abuse. 

Marie says: “She said they were returning to England soon, and said I could come with them and go to university. 

“It seemed like the perfect opportunity to get a qualification and my mum was excited and agreed to look after my children. 

“I thought I could then return home and get a good job to provide for my family.”

The couple paid for Marie’s flight, and when she arrived in the UK, she was so excited. 

She says: “I was so grateful to them initially I voluntarily tidied and cleaned their house and looked after their children to say thank you. 

“They showed me the university, and I even returned home briefly after a few months and told everyone how great it was.” 

Sexual exploitation: Spotting the signs

Many victims are kept hidden out of sight, however the following could indicate someone is being exploited sexually, according to trafficking and modern slavery charity Unseen:

  • They may appear scared or intimidated
  • Appearing frightened, withdrawn or confused
  • They’re closely guarded
  • “Branded” with a tattoo indicating ownership
  • Signs of physical abuse, including bruising, scarring and cigarette burns
  • Are unable to keep payment and have restricted or no access to their earnings
  • Have limited English vocabulary, restricted to sexualised words
  • Male visitors call day and night and who only stay for a short time
  • There are signs of sexual activity, such as cards and advertisements nearby
  • A number of female foreign nationals living at the same address
  • Sleeping at the premises where they work could indicate a brothel is operating.

Drugged and living in fear 

However the couple then paid for Marie to return – and that’s when everything changed.

Marie says: “They took my passport off me as soon as I landed. 

“I was then told I had to clean the house and do the gardening.” 

Marie was isolated in the family’s home, cut off from the outside world.

Her only connection to the world beyond was through the books they allowed her to read, or the occasions she could salvage newspaper scraps when cleaning their children’s hamster cage.

“I lived off McDonalds and at one point my exploiter said I was gaining weight so when I wasn’t having sex I would be told to run on a jogging machine”

Marie

She says: “I’m not a rocket scientist, but I’m not stupid either. 

“I was very afraid and lived in fear. I believed everything they told me, and they said if the police found out about me I’d be sent to prison so every time I walked down the street I’d avoid the police.

“Then they told me I had to repay them for bringing me here and they began inviting men around their family home to abuse me.

“Sometimes ‘clients’ were men in suits, and they would transport me around the country so men could have sex with me.

“They gave me pills which made me very groggy, and I’d smoke 60 cigarettes a day.”

Forced to have sex 20 times a day

Marie was eventually taken to work in a brothel masquerading as a massage parlour, situated directly opposite a police station. 

She says: “It was £30 for oral sex, £40 for sex and £45 for both. Sometimes they would make me see 20 men in one day.

“I had a minder and they would make sure I didn’t keep any of the money.”

Shockingly, Marie was even forced to have breast surgery, to make her chest bigger.

She says: “They wanted me to have big breasts so they could make more money and charge more as I was quite flat-chested, so they took me to see a surgeon. 

“I went from a B cup to around a DD I think, and they were able to charge more because I was more curvaceous.

“I lived off McDonalds and at one point my exploiter also said I was gaining weight so when I wasn’t having sex I would be told to run on a jogging machine.”

‘Pop-up brothels can appear anywhere’ 

While most victims, like Marie, are ‘recruited’ in person before being put to work in brothels, some who find themselves trapped in the sex industry have been ensnared through online job adverts and social media.

In cases of sexual exploitation, adult services websites often unwittingly play a key role. Lauren says: “A lot of sex exploitation is advertised online and on social media platforms, but pop up brothels can appear anywhere, in any neighbourhood.  

“In a private housing estate if you’re seeing a constant stream of people coming in and out of a property that might be suspicious and could indicate someone inside that property is being exploited. 

“Pop up brothels are more and more prevalent and they are literally just a normal flat or house. It doesn’t necessarily look how people imagine a brothel to look.  

“When I first started working in this sector I didn’t realise how many brothels were actually in the town I was living in. 

“Once you see it you can’t unsee it. They’re everywhere.”

‘I felt like I’d die of a broken heart’ 

Despite the physical pain she was forced to endure, Marie became numb to it – and the only thing that caused her any real agony was being kept apart from her children, now all in their forties. 

While she was gone, she had no contact with them for a long period of time, but she believes they were told she was in a psychiatric hospital. 

She says: “I missed my children so much. 

“I didn’t really care what they were doing to me, it was nothing compared to the pain of not seeing my children.

“I felt like I’d die of a broken heart.”

Forced to dress up & partake in orgies 

Marie was passed around from exploiter to exploiter, and each time she hoped things would get better. 

At one point she was sold to a man, who she went on to marry. 

She says: “I was just happy to finally get out of the situation I’d been trapped in all those years, but it only got worse. 

One time they threatened to inject me with heroin”

Marie*

“He told me he would look after me and he loved me and he had a big house. 

“He would host orgies and people would pay a lot of money, sometimes 12 couples, and he would film me dressed in dominatrix outfits. 

“I refused to drink, so one time they threatened to inject me with heroin instead. 

“I’d seen the film Trainspotting and I knew I couldn’t let it happen so I tried to run away but he found me and told me he missed me and brought me back.”

Eventually one of her abuser’s wives discovered Marie, and helped her escape. 

Marie says: “She thought I was having an affair with her husband, so I just told her everything. She cried and hugged me and said she would help me.”

‘They saved my life’ 

Marie was taken to a Salvation Army safehouse, where she remains today.

For the first time in her life, she found herself in a place where she was truly safe, however, adjusting to her new life was not easy, and she initially slept with the bed against the door, too fearful to trust anyone.

The Salvation Army’s support workers played a crucial role in helping Maria rebuild her life, and they supported her through the process of having the breast implants removed. 

Marie  says: “They saved my life. I’ve been treated with respect and for the first time in my life I have a chance of some sort of normality.”

Looking back on her ordeal, Maria believes that the couple who initially brought her to the UK had likely exploited others in the same way. 

She’s focusing on rebuilding her life, but hopes to one day be strong enough to support the police bringing them to justice.

While it’s an ever-evolving and changing crime that can be hard to track, when it comes to tackling the issue, public awareness of the issue is key.

 Lauren adds: “We’re definitely getting more calls and more people need our support.

“I think people would be shocked to know how prevalent it is around them without them even realising. 

“We do training across schools and businesses and quite often people think initially modern slavery isn’t something they’ve ever encountered, but by the end of the training people are reporting incidents they’ve seen.

“A lot of the calls to the helpline we’ve received are from individuals – members of the public, or professionals – who are concerned about something they’ve seen, so it’s really important we raise as much awareness of the issue as we can.”

If you suspect modern slavery activity, you can report it to the Modern Slavery Helpline on 08000 121 700, call The Salvation Army’s confidential, free referral helpline on 0800 808 3733 or the police on 101. In an emergency always call 999.

”It’d be perfect for the festive season too.”

Primark's best buys for Autumn

Heading into Primark soon? Keep an eye out for these items.

Here, Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals her top 6 buys from Primark this Autumn.

Coat, £60
I know what you’re thinking, ‘£60 for Primark?’ Yes it’s a higher price tag than we’re used to from Primark but its worth every penny.
It’s from their Edit range which is more premium than the rest of their collection and it’s made to last.
It’s a mixed wool blend which is durable and warm, plus its a timeless straight silhouette which is slightly oversized and will last you not only this season but for many after.

Bag, £16
Big bags are back… In a big way, finally.
This tote screams luxury with its croc effect and burnt orange colour, plus its great for shoving in your laptop, lunch, spare shoes, purse – essentially everything you need for the day – all for £16.

Jacket, £32
Field jackets are on the backs of celebrities and catwalk models this season with designer brands Barbour, Burberry and Bottega all championing the utilitarian look.
They’re great for chucking over jeans or contrasting with a floral or floaty dress and are the perfect transitional jacket.

Dress, £18,
You may have seen, heard and read that leopard print isn’t going anywhere for autumn, so to encapsulate the trend this dress is a must.
Sleeves? Check. Midi length? Check. Ultra flattering square neck? Check. It’s got it all.
Pair with black knee high boots or your favourite trainers for the day and dress up with gold heels and accessories for the evening.

Jeans, £16
Barrel, balloon, horseshoe – whatever you want to call them, they are the must have trouser shape of this season.
I’ve tried Primarks pair and they fit like a dream, are comfortable and flattering.
So if you think you have nothing that hits the trend mark, swapping your go-to denim for this shape will bring you bang up to date.

Boots, £24
It’s boot season and instead of feeling like you need to buy one in every colour, length, height – its best to stick to a pair that you can wear with the majority of your wardrobe.
My jaw almost hit the floor when I saw that this black, knee-high, block heel with flat point and side zip (so there’s no tug of war to get them off at the end of the day) was only £24.
If you buy one thing this season, it should be these.

Hair Mask – L’Oreal Absolute Repair dupe, saving £20

Are your tresses in a dire need of some TLC? While L’Oreal’s Absolute Repair Hair Mask retails for £26, Primark’s version is just £6.

The guru said: “Now that the weather’s colder, my hair’s been feeling really dry, but it feels sooo soft and shiny after using this.

”I swear it feels like I’ve just had a salon treatment.”

Hair Oil – Olaplex No.7 dupe, saving £22.50

The expert also couldn’t stop raving over this £4.50 hair oil that’s a dupe of Olaplex’s viral haircare product
Mia Munro

Olaplex’s Hair Oil is £27 – significantly more expensive than Primark’s alternative that’s only £4.50.

The expert said: “My hairdresser recommended the original to me, but I couldn’t bring myself to buy it.

”This does the same thing, and I use it on damp hair as it doubles up as a heat protectant.”

Mia commented: “Primark’s latest beauty range is amazing quality without the hefty price tag.

”They’ve created products that fit seamlessly into any routine, and honestly, it’s tough to see why anyone would spend more when these do the job just as well.

”Definitely worth a try before they sell out.”

Britons warned not to rake up leaves – leaving the piles out could actually have two major benefits, experts reveal

GARDENING fans are being warned not to rake up the leaves in their garden this season – and there are two major benefits, experts have revealed.

Although living in a leafy neighbourhood has its benefits, such as the relaxing space, being surrounded by trees also comes with downsides, especially around this time of the year.

null
There are two key reasons you should leave the fallen leaves on the ground, experts have revealed

But whilst we may want to keep the outdoor space – as well as the patioclean and tidy, Britons are now urged not to rake up all the leaves and to leave some piles out, The Express reported.

Having colourful leaves all over the ground may be annoying – but they break down into the soil and add vital nutrients, which can help act as a natural fertiliser and boost next year’s lawn, crops, and flowers.

And there’s another key reason why you might want to consider leaving piles out – our dear animal friends.

When raking up leaves – whether it’s to get rid of them or to burn the leaves in a bonfire – hedgehogs are in particular danger.

This is because the spiny mammal sees log piles and piles of leaves as the deal places for shelter.

As Wiltshire Wildlife Trust explained: “Unfortunately, the native British mammals regularly fall foul of un-checked bonfires and are killed because of it.

“Considering their recent classification as vulnerable to extinction on the Mammal Societies Red List, the warning for bonfire night is now more crucial than ever.

”Since 2007, numbers of wild hedgehogs in the UK have halved, and there are now thought to be fewer than a million left in the UK.”

The Trust urged that gardeners should deliberately leave some piles of leaves and logs in their garden to help hedgehogs, especially with winter around the corner.

It added: “Leave wild areas in the garden, such as piles of leaves and logs.

”These make effective nests and attract the insects that hedgehogs need as part of their diet.

“Cover any drains or holes, and ensure any ponds or swimming pools have an escape route.

”Avoid using fruit netting as hedgehogs can become entangled in it.”

October gardening jobs

The Sun’s Gardening Editor, Veronica Lorraine, has shared the jobs you need to tackle in October.

“It’s a good time to trim deciduous hedges – like box, yew, hawthorn, hornbean and beech – plus hedge trimmers are a great upper body workout!

Make leafmould – gather up all the fallen leaves and fill either bin bags or plastic carrier bags. Seal the top, stick a few small holes in the bag – and then store for a year or more. Free compost!

It’s unlikely you’ll get any more red tomatoes so have one final harvest and chuck the plants on the compost. See if you can get the green ones to ripen by putting in a drawer (some say with a banana). Also keep the seeds from a couple – and plant again next year if they went well.

Finish getting in your spring bulbs. Ideally you’d have done daffs and alliums, but tulips are better in the ground when the soil temperature gets a bit colder. 

It’s good to leave some plant litter in the ground – it adds to the nutrients as it rots down, and provides shelter and food for insects. But remove the manky brown bits collapsing all over the lawn/winter structure. 

Mulch – it not only suppresses weeds, but keeps the soil warm, improves water retention and adds a little winter duvet to your outside space. 

October’s a good month for carrots, peas, asparagus, broad beans, and rhubarb.”

The team of experts even advised that you could buy – or build – a hedgehog house and place it somewhere sheltered, amongst eaves, compost or tree branches.

However, if you insist on keeping the outdoor space clean, be super careful when sweeping up the colourful leaves.

Britons are encouraged to do whatever they can to prevent our animal friends from going extinct.

Over the last few years, hedgehogs have experienced a drastic decline, primarily due to habitat loss, changes in agriculture, urbanization, and increased predation, reported Green Feathers.

Factors behind the dramatic decline include the ”loss of hedgerows, fragmented habitats, intensified farming practices, and urban barriers’ have all contributed to their diminishing numbers”.
