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

Her name sounds like a 5 year old's...although reality tv people tend to have the minds of them 🙈

Are you in reality tv because your comment sounds quite immature?

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.

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.

About 12% of the country was watching the episodes of Love Island that they were on - that is definitely a significant 'star'.

I watch Love Island, The Furies and all the other reality crap and even I was surprised at this notification.

It makes me want to turn off the notifications. I was sick of getting them during the football.

It is not breaking news!!!

Fury's

lololulu · 15/08/2024 14:07

And why bother asking who she is. I'm 40. My 12 and 14 yer old know who they are.

Presumably related to Fannie Mae if significantly newsworthy?Confused

apparently Mollie has gone off with Freddie Mac - don’t ask me how I know but that story will break tomorrow and then all hell will break loose.

Grin

But more seriously, SM has gone weird again, with one poor woman forced to deny she's having Tommy's baby and rumours of police involvement.

How many times has this happened this year? It's an absolute shitstorm and seemingly unstoppable

Who is Freddie Max? Before I’m told to search it/him myself, I did and a mortgage company showed up?

That's right, it was a joke - two of the big US financial bodies that hit headlines in the 2008 crash and bailouts are known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

JohnTheRevelator · 15/08/2024 17:15

I know. I think it's utterly ridiculous.

If you don't want news notifications turn them off?

Molly Mae and Tommy Fury are probably the most famous couple to come out of love island, and Molly Mae is the most successful love island contestant. She is hugely successful influencer and has power, Molly mae just has to wear an item and it will be sold out across the country and half of the under 25s wearing it.

Whether you like it or not the influencer/reality TV world is huge. These people are very famous amongst at least younger people. They've made their career off selling a perfect relationship. In the big scheme of news it's notification worthy, not interrupt eastenders worthy.

I hate it when people pretend influencers/reality TV stars aren't famous just because they aren't famous for something. It's a big celeb break up, they have more influence on young people than bloody gwyneth paltrow and Chris Martin ever had

So irrelevant to the vast majority,
