MOLLY-MAE Hague and Tommy Fury are ‘planning an announcement’ to confirm they’re back together, following her documentary release.

Insiders told The Sun the couple will be making the joint announcement via Instagram following the penultimate episodes of her documentary in Spring, which “leads nicely” into news the couple are giving it another go.

A source told The Sun: “Molly-Mae and Tommy are planning on making an announcement about them being back together pretty soon.

“It’s a social media post they have planned for after the documentary comes out – and the ending of the documentary leads nicely into the post.

“It will be a joint Instagram post – and unlike the last one where Molly announced the breakup, it will very much be a united front.”

An insider confirmed to The Sun that the couple have “filmed together” for the upcoming episodes of her documentary, landing in a couple of weeks, and added that the couple have been “spending a lot of time together”.

The Sun has contacted a representative for Molly for comment.

We revealed that the couple spent Valentine’s Day together, following footage of the pair sharing a midnight kiss at pals Luke Shaw and Anouska Santos’ New Years Eve party in Cheshire earlier this year.

It comes as the boxer has lined up the BBC for his very own documentary Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury, which is set to hit screens later this year.

In a press release with the Beeb, Tommy said: “A lot of people see me in the ring, they see me on social media, but they don’t see ME — the person behind all of that.

“I’m excited for everyone to finally be able to see what goes on behind the scenes, how the big fights are made, all the ups and downs as well as a glimpse into my private life.”

It follows a couple Martyn and Rebecca as they move their family to Glasgow and end up embroiled in a sinister situation involving their new neighbour.

The streaming series premiered at the city‘s film festival – which was attended by the star’s mum and dad.

But Compston and his on-screen wife, played by Anjli Mohindra, get frisky in one five minute scene and he was forced to tell his mum to close her eyes when he forgot the sex scene was about to be shown.

He recalled the “miserable” situation on Radio X’s Chris Moyles show.

Guest host Toby Tarrant asked the star: “Now, in this show there’s a scene where, you know, Martin has a bit of… Do you know what I mean?”

Compston replied:  “I tell you what, by the way. We had with the premiere last week at the Glasgow Film Festival, again being on home turf was great.

“But you come home – I hadn’t been home since just before Christmas.

“You get the feeling when you’re in a good show, you know?

“Everybody’s on good form, you get to see all the crew and all that again, home fans building up.

“I saw my mum and dad there. I hadn’t seen them in the flesh for like a couple of months, big hugs.

“And you sit down, and you’re sitting between your mum and dad, and you’re like, ‘Ah, this is amazing!’

“And then you just get the fear.

“When I start walking down the stairs in the dressing gown, I completely forgot what scene was coming, and just having to turn around at your mum and going, ‘Please shut your eyes for the next five minutes.’

“And she’s like, ‘Why? Why?’ And I was like, ‘Just shut your eyes. I can’t explain it.’

Compston: 'I feared I'd have to give up takeaways

MARTIN Compston also revealed his frisky scenes might mean giving up his beloved beer and takeaways so he can stay in good shape.

Toby Tarrant asked the star: “Now, if you’re going do one of those scenes, do you make sure you get in the gym beforehand?

“Because I’d always think, even if I was on screen for five seconds with my shirt off, I’d want to get into tip top shape.”

Martin Compston replied: “That’s the problem with it, mate.

“You don’t even need to just be in shape. Now you need to be ripped. You know, the idea of what was in shape has just changed dramatically over the last five to 10 years.

 But yeah, it is a pressure. And just as you get older, I’m very fond of a pint and a takeaway, you know?

“So, exercise has never been a problem for me. I’ve grown up loving football and all that stuff. So like doing the exercising parts, it’s fine. But that gets harder to do when you’re away filming all day.

“It’s the eating, the diet now. Like, you have one bad weekend, you have a Domino’s man, and you’ve got it for days!

“Even that with the ale as well, it’s hard to cut back on that. But yeah, it is tough, because you are very aware that scenes on the horizon, you need to keep in shape.”

“And that is miserable. That is genuinely… Yeah, that was a tough five minutes.

“And you’re just like, ‘Just end it, man!’ And you see the faces you’re pulling…”

But he revealed he and his mum have spoken since the “bad situation”.

Co-host Dominic Byrne asked: “Have you spoken to your mum since everything?”

Compston replied: “We just skirted over the fact.”

Tarrant replied: “It’s awkward enough watching those scenes with your mum and dad when you’re not in them, let alone front and centre.”

While the Scots actor joked: “Well, even if you were in the house, it’s one thing.

“But when you’re sitting back with like another 100 odd people as well, it’s just a bad situation.”

They wrote to Dan on X: “Saw you on James Martin on Saturday and you looked incredibly well, have you lost some weight since the filming of the latest series, you looked in great shape.”

Dan replied saying: “For the many people asking the answer is yes, I’m not about 3 stone less.”

He then revealed how he’d lost the weight, adding: “Less carbs. Regular exercise. It was a choice I made.”

Dan was praised by fans, and he responded to another who’d written to the star: “Well done Dan! I’m someone who struggles with their weight, so I know what an achievement that is. You look great!”

He responded, writing: “Thanks Helen. I don’t judge people on their weight. My personal thing was I didn’t feel healthy.

“I’m 56 and my father died at 59. I also lost my mum last year so I felt I needed to rethink.”

Dan had joined James Martin on Saturday, and showed off his slimmer look in a light green shirt and jeans.

It comes as ITV show The Bay retuned to screens on Sunday 2nd March.

The new season includes familiar faces as Daniel Ryan returns as DI Anthony ‘Tony’ Manning, Erin Shanagher comes back as DS Karen Hobson and Andrew Dowbiggin picks up his role as DS James Clarke.

Also returning are Barry Sloane as Chris Fischer, Georgia Scholes as Erin Fischer, and David Carpenter and Emme Hayes as Jenn’s children Conor and Maddie.

The fifth series will also welcome some new faces including Happy Valley star Olwen May and The Full Monty’s Tara Lynne O’Neill.

And it’s set to bring the twists and drama that viewers expect, as a synopsis for the new run revealed: “When 23-year-old university student Hannah is found dead on the edge of the docks, Morecambe’s MIU team has another case to solve – Jenn, who is returning to work following the death of her father, pushes aside her own grief to support Hannah’s bitterly divided family.

“With the stakes of the investigation high, Jenn and the team dig deeper into the case, uncovering hidden friendships and secret liaisons as anger rises in the student community.”

It continued: “As the intensity increases and the team peel back the complicated layers of Hannah’s life and the secrets within it, Jenn must reconcile her personal and professional struggles as she grapples to solve the case, come to terms with her own loss, and build bridges with her family.”

The series is co-created and written by Daragh Carville, however the first three episodes of series five are directed by Vigil and Endeavour actor Shaun Evans.

Inside Ruth Ellis’ dark life from child sex abuse to prostitution & violent marriage… before murder of toxic lover

IN 21st century Britain, David Blakely could have been locked up for domestic violence and coercive control.

Not only did the playboy racing car driver allegedly manipulate his partner Ruth Ellis, he punched her so hard in the stomach she suffered a miscarriage.

But she found herself on trial for his slaying in 1955, having shot him dead and admitted, “I intended to kill him.” 

Back then the death penalty was mandatory for murder and so Ellis, a mother-of-two, became the last woman in Britain to be hanged aged just 28.

But many others believe the nightclub hostess deserves a pardon, arguing she was driven to do it by the abusive Blakely.

It was a wild and tempestuous relationship that is now being examined in a new ITV drama called  A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story, starring Lucy Boynton.

Today, other extenuating circumstances would be considered by a judge.

Ellis was a victim of childhood sexual abuse and was beaten by her first husband George. 

There’s enough substance and weight here for Ruth’s case to be taken back to the courts

Stephen Beard

The mother’s death left a terrible legacy.

Her former husband George Ellis hung himself in 1958, her son Andy took his own life in 1982 and her mother Bertha tried to kill herself.

Many hope Ellis will be given a pardon 70 years on from the crime.

Her grandson, former Hollyoaks actor Stephen Beard, 36, said: “There was such a severe miscarriage of justice, which will be explained through the series, that I wonder whether there is a KC who believes there’s enough substance and weight here for Ruth’s case to be taken back to the courts.

“If handled professionally and mercifully, the conclusion would have been that this was a case of both battered woman syndrome and diminished responsibility.”

Abusive beginnings

Born Ruth Neilson in the Welsh seaside town Rhyl, she grew up in Basingstoke, Hants with her five siblings, musician father Arthur and refugee mum Bertha.

It was a fearful household where the cruel Arthur battered his wife and sexually abused two of his daughters.

He got Ruth’s elder sister Muriel pregnant when she was aged just 14 and targeted Ruth from the age of 11.

Muriel said “When she came home of an evening my father would send me to the shop and do things to Ruth.”

Having moved to London after leaving school, Ellis fell for a married Canadian soldier called Clare Andrea McCallum.

The relationship resulted in a pregnancy, but because she was aged just 17 it was decided that her mum would look after her son Andy.

When she came home of an evening my father would send me to the shop and do things to Ruth

Muriel Jakubait

To make ends meet Ellis became a nude model and a hostess at the private members Court Club in Soho central London where she met her first husband.

Divorced George Ellis was one of her clients who paid to have sex with Ruth. At 41, he was 17 years older than Ruth.

He was also a violent and jealous alcoholic who banged her head against the wall.

Having married in November 1950, it was over the following year when he refused to accept paternity for the daughter Georgina they’d had together.

Now working as a manager of a nightclub in upmarket Knightsbridge, Ruth struggled to care for her daughter.

In a cruel twist, Georgina was taken by George to Warrington, where she was handed over to a wealthy couple who became her parents.

Love triangle

The most fateful moment in Ellis’ short life, though, was when she met handsome public schoolboy Blakely in September 1953.

She was obsessed by the 26-year-old wannabe racing driver, in his immaculate suits.

But Blakely was not a one-woman man and slept around, which led to blistering rows.

At the same time wealthy accountant Desmond Cussen came into her life, who wanted to make Ellis his wife.

This love triangle was to be resolved with a loaded gun.

The question is who really initiated the idea of taking Blakely out of the romantic equation by killing him.

Ellis, who had already aborted one pregnancy with Blakely, was punched in the stomach by him when she was with his child for a second time.

The end of the Death Penalty

The death penalty was abolished in the United Kingdom in 1965 for murder and in 1998 for treason and piracy with violence.

  • 1955: Ruth Ellis was hanged at Holloway prison, becoming the last woman executed in the UK.
  • 1964: Peter Allen and Gwynne Evans were the last people to be hanged in Britain. 
  • 1965: The Murder (Abolition of the Death Penalty) Act suspended the death penalty for five years, and made it permanent in 1969. 
  • 1998: The death penalty was abolished for treason and piracy with violence. 
  • 2003: The UK ratified the 13th Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights. 

That resulted in a miscarriage in January 1955. 

Her daughter Georgina has previously argued: “She was not in her right mind the night Blakely died.

“She’d suffered a miscarriage, was taking sedatives and she’d had a lifetime of men being cruel to her.”

It was allegedly Cussen who got the .38 Smith & Wesson pistol and brought it to Ellis for his own selfish ends.

John Bickford, a friend of the jealous accountant, said: “Cussen had driven her to Hampstead, provided the gun, and had goaded her into shooting Blakely to remove a love rival from the scene.”

Tragically, he didn’t impart that information to the police until two decades after Ellis had been executed.

With a gun in her hand and having drunk Pernod for much of the day, Ellis waited for Blakely to emerge from the The Magdala pub in Hampstead, North London, on April 10 1955.

When Blakely came out, her first shot missed and he ran. But the second bullet found its target as did three more as he lay defenceless on the ground.

Murder trial

Ellis waited to be arrested, telling the first officer on the scene “I am guilty, I’m a little confused.”

Back then it was an open and shut case.

At her trial she told the jury: “It’s obvious when I shot him I intended to kill him” and psychiatrists found no evidence of mental illness.

It took the jury less than 20 minutes to come back with a guilty verdict and back then murder always resulted in the death penalty.

The judge who passed the sentence was Sir Cecil Havers, who is the grandfather of actor Nigel Havers.

Nigel, who plays Sir Cecil in the new ITV show, says: “I know it upset my grandfather enormously.

“He wrote a letter to the home secretary expressing she did not deserve to be hanged. Simple as that.”

But there was to be no clemency, despite a public outcry.

On July 13 1995 hangman Albert Pierrepoint executed Ellis at Holloway prison in London.

She was the last woman in Britain to suffer such a fate and ten years later capital punishment was abolished.
