I had to google her after "Breaking News" headlines 😂
This is not news

@Abigail47 but they have nothing to do with any of that unless you think the Furys are in cahoots with the Russians or something?

Even so GP was a big film star and CM was the lead in a big band.

Mollymae and Fury were not even soap stars.

I saw the breakup announced on Sky News and thought they were dead.

Yeah they're definitely not as famous as gwyneth paltrow.

But people will be interested and molly may and Tommy

they were both on love island
love island is very popular

Tommy and Molly Mae were also both on the netflix show "at home with the furys"

Who is Molly Mae?

Is google broken?

The BBC are reporting non-news to divert viewers away from Huw Edwards and the Strictly Come Dancing scandal.

Molly Mae and Tommy are classed as quite big stars by lots of late teens and people in their early 20s, and the news is for those age groups too. I'm not a love island fan or into influencers at all but those 2 things are huge now so I'm not surprised it's on as breaking news, even though it's not something I'm interested in.

They always report this sort of thing. They made a huge thing of S club 7 doing a reunion tour which I'm sure most people weren't bothered about.

Who is Mollie Mae?

Yeah they have also both been on a popular netflix show now too:

It was called "at home with the furys"

I didn't mind it as breaking news!

It's better than the wars death and destruction they normally put as breaking news.

People are interested in celebs

Not all people have heard of this type of individual.

icelollycraving · 14/08/2024 19:25

They have a huge following on social media. I liked their love story.
It was always likely given their different backgrounds and ideas around their daughter’s upbringing.

Pigeonqueen · 14/08/2024 19:27

Why are people asking who she is? If you’re interested just google, easy to see her then!

My normally sensible 21 year old dd text me a screenshot of the “news” and said how shocked she was 🤣🙈 she loves her and I think a lot of young people saw them as the “fairytale”.

Abigail47 · 14/08/2024 19:31

I wonder did he cheat

And?

He definitely cheated. I think her statement is very telling.

AdaColeman · 14/08/2024 19:33

Breaking News ! What? Has she broken one of her false nails? Shock! Horror!

WeregoingtoIbiza · 14/08/2024 19:34

I saw the statement Molly Mae put out as I follow her on instagram. I'm sure anybody who's interested probably would have done too.

I wouldn't have thought it would be breaking news though.

Abigail47 · 14/08/2024 19:35

They're top news on loads of news sites now.

Well they'll be top news for about two hours till the next thing comes along

They were on a reality tv programme a few years ago. I think her boyfriend’s brother is a boxer famous for being part of the travelling community (I’m not sure about that partt but I think that was it).Other than that, they aren’t known which is why it is so bemusing to see their ‘breakup’ on the national news.

Tyson Fury Is famous because of the world titles he's won. He's a bloody good British boxer but unfortunately is held back by poor MH. Him and Tommy are very involved in Charities and have a particular interest in MH. He has a Traveler background, which is a minority that we are allowed to be discriminatory towards.

oberst · 14/08/2024 19:49

Apparently there's speculation that he's got another woman pregnant

You mean the news?

Have you noticed that the news sites tend to always report on the negative things

Eg
Wars
Riots
Stabbings
Killings.

Those things happen in the world. But good things also happen in the world , news sites just don't usually write anything about the good things that are happening.

News sites are designed to report negative things only, in order to produce a worried and stressed emotional response from the population.

Edited

Yeah! They’re all over it when a plane crashes - but why do we never hear about all the planes that have perfect landings, hmm?! Who’s reporting on THAT?!

No. Some people are interested in celebs. I imagine the BBC hopes to draw some of them in by stories like this in the (futile) hope that they will then decide to pay for a TV licence.

It's not an either or situation.

There is no need for "breaking news", it's a modern construct and some poor sod who works for the BBC is tasked with scraping the barrel for "breaking news" stories. All to keep the public hooked when of course they could survive without this information until tomorrow or never.

LindorDoubleChoc · 14/08/2024 20:02

Plus celeb (if you can call them that) tittle tattle is not news at all.

I am now genuinely wondering how and when the news of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's divorces made the headlines? They were the biggest superstars in the world at the time (google if you've never heard of them Grin)

August - slow news month coupled with a dumbing down of news journalism in general which results in some BBC breaking news stories being truly mind bogglingly stupid and vacuous.

Perfectly well put. ☺️

I googled and found out. There is always a rush for people to prove how highbrow they are by making a show of asking on these threads who the celebrities are. It’s like people who just have to tell others that they don’t own a TV…
