Tommy Fury has addressed the backlash over the death of his and Molly-Mae Hague’s dog.
Back in June, the professional boxer gifted his girlfriend a Pomeranian pup named Mr Chai for her 21st birthday, but sadly the pooch died just a few days later.
Fans were quick to criticise the couple for importing a tiny puppy from abroad – as he may have fallen ill during transport.
Speaking to The Sun about the backlash, Tommy said: “I don’t regret a single thing. What’s meant to be is meant to be.”
“All we have done since leaving [Love Island] is do everything with good intentions. No matter what you do in life, people are always going to have an opinion.
“You could be a martyr and someone will still have a bad opinion of you and that’s just the way the world is.
“Dealing with people’s opinions and being discriminated against in public is part and parcel of being in the limelight,” the 21-year-old explained.
“As far as I’m concerned, if you like me, you like me. If you don’t, then don’t. You can easily unfollow.”
Speaking about online trolling, Tommy admitted: “Nothing could ever hurt or get to me. My mind doesn’t work like that and I am fortunate to be that way inclined, whereas Molly feels it a little more, all girls do. It’s my job to be there for her.”
The Love Island star also opened up about the death of Caroline Flack, admitting he was “shocked” upon hearing the news.
“There were no signs of that ever happening. That’s what the scary part was,” he explained.
“We just have to raise awareness and be a bit more careful in how we use social media, like people saying bad things to me and Molly.”
