Since announcing their shock split over two weeks ago, rumours have been rife as to why Love Island 2019 runners-up Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have called time on their romance after five years.

With a number of allegations flying around, Tommy has admitted he's 'heartbroken', whilst Molly thanked her fans for their support on her return to social media earlier this week.

Now, Molly has publicly addressed the split for the first time, speaking about the publicity she's received over the last two weeks in a new vlog on her popular YouTube page.

In the 36-minute video, mum-of-one Mol said: "I don't really ever plan on talking about the past couple of weeks. That's not something I feel comfortable with. This is real life. It's not drama, it's not tea or a publicity stunt. This is real life. It's very sad and it's very deep. It doesn't feel right for me to come on here to talk about it.

"I haven't made a plan whatsoever about what I want to say.

"The last two weeks have been very, very real. It's real life, something that we have been going through as privately as we can, but obviously not privately whatsoever because I haven't really been able to get away from it.

"My coping mechanism for the last couple of weeks is talking to the people that I love and are so close to me and have been so incredible through this time and then coming on here and pushing forward."

Admitting it's something she would like to deal with privately, for both herself and Tommy, she added: "It's just not nice and I feel everything has been blown way out of proportion and it has all got a bit carried away with itself and I think the last thing I want to do is fuel that fire and stir that pot when it doesn't need to be stirred."

Fans of the influencer were quick to comment on the video, with many praising her with how she's dealing with things.

One wrote: 'Molly seems wise beyond her years. Good on her, a great example for her daughter', with another adding: 'Just the loveliest lady. No drama, no putting anyone down, still showing respect for Tommy. Stay strong and from one single mum to another it does get easier with time'. (sic)

A third commented: 'She is SO classy. This is genuinely inspiring. She’s clearly hurting but she’s just rising above it and protecting her and her baby girls privacy, such a class act'. (sic)

Another wrote: 'That little girl will THRIVE !!!!! You’re such a honest and real woman& such an inspiration to other women going through similar! X thank you'. (sic)
