Tommy Fury insists daughter Bambi, two, shouldn't be 'spoilt' with 'five star hotels and business class flights' - as he buys a campervan for more 'normal' family holidays
The boxer, 26, shares his two-year-old with fellow Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague, with the pair getting back together this year after their shock split last summer.
Now Tommy has reflected on some of their lavish trips away saying he recently bought a campervan so they can have more 'normal' holidays.
Speaking to Eddie Hall on his podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Beast, Tommy said: 'Having a daughter, Bambi, is everything in my life. She's what I work for. She's what I fight for.
'I don't even buy anything for myself anymore. It's all going away. Today's world is tough because you don't wanna spoil your children, but then it's hard to not, in a way.
'I've just bought – and it's coming in two weeks – a massive RV type thing. I just said to myself, 'She can't take business class flights every time, that ain't the real world.'
Tommy Fury has insisted that his daughter Bambi shouldn't be 'spoilt' with 'five star hotels and business class flights' when they go away on family holidays
'I didn't go on a plane until I was 17! It was a Flybe flight and the propeller nearly broke. But Bambi's got more air miles than me now, and she's two and a half.'
He added: 'I want her to know the meaning of normal, which is, you know, a nice camping holiday, driving to the lake.
'Not staying in five star hotels, not going business class flights, not doing that sometimes - and that's okay.
'Yeah, so I think she's getting to an age now where she's understanding more, and that as a father I introduce them sort of holidays, it's very important.'
The podcast chat comes after Tommy was seen for the first time on Monday since enjoying a wild night out with his brother Roman's girlfriend, who bares a striking resemblance to Molly-Mae.
He headed out with Roman, 28, to grab some lunch at a cafe in Cheshire.
Tommy partied into the early hours on Friday without his former fiancée Molly, also 26, who he met on Love Island in 2019 and split from last year, before reconciling.
The couple, who share daughter Bambi, previously said the reason their romance ended was down to his excessive drinking.
Tommy drove himself and his brother to the cafe in his luxurious £180,000 Mercedes G Wagon.
Dressing casually, he wore a fitted white vest top with a pair of black sports shorts and trainers.
On Friday night, Tommy shared a hug with his brother Roman's girlfriend as he was spotted on a rare outing without Molly-Mae.
He showcased his buff physique in a tight black top and matching cargo trousers as he danced the night away with a large group of pals and partied into the early hours.
First Tommy was seen at the Bubble Room in Alderley Edge before heading over to The Symposium night club where he is said to have ended his evening at 2am.
He chatted intently his brother's partner before she wrapped her arms around his neck for a friendly embrace.
The Symposium is owned by Hollyoaks star Ashley Taylor Dawson, 43, best known for his role as Darren Osborne in the Channel 4 soap.
Customers can splash the cash on private booths that cost up to £1200 and come with bottles of pricey champagne.
It was recently claimed that a feud is brewing between Molly and Tommy 's families over their decision to give their relationship another go.
Earlier this month, a report from The Sun suggested that Molly-Mae's sister Zoe was concerned about them getting back together.
In the latest episodes of Molly-Mae's Amazon Prime documentary Behind It All, Zoe expressed her doubts over Tommy openly.
This in turn reportedly angered Tommy's family including his brother Tyson and his wife Paris.
A source told the publication: 'The Fury family aren't impressed that Zoe has been so outspoken about Tommy.
'They're a fiercely loyal bunch and seeing Zoe's comments broadcast to millions of people via Amazon absolutely got their hackles up.
'To them Tommy is a stand up guy, a good, hard working father. His drinking issues shouldn't be used as a stick to beat him.'
The insider added that Paris is confused as to why Zoe would try to hinder the family getting back together.

Katie Price fans spot two embarrassing blunders in poster for new gig just days after getting daughter's birthday wrong
KATIE Price fans spotted some embarrassing blunders as she shared the poster for her upcoming tour with pal Kerry Katona. The 46-year-old last week made a U-turn on the upcoming live dates with Kerry, 44 - after initially quitting the shows due to other commitments. 3 3 But, after The Sun told how they'd managed to make it work and former glamour model Katie was back on board, she's suffered another blow. She took to Instagram to share the full dates for An Evening with Katie Price and Kerry Katona. But eagle-eyed fans immediately spotted some mistakes in the details provided. One wrote: 'Dates are wrong. On the left column it says Wednesday 10th October but 10th October is a Friday so assume it's supposed to be September.' They added: 'Also two 20th October dates at two different venues, just an fyi.' The apparent misprints quickly caused confusion, with one follower asking: 'Is Lincoln September or October?' And someone else said: 'You've got 20th October listed twice, bound to cause confusion.' During the tour, Katie and Kerry plan to"share stories of their friendship, marriage and divorce, bankruptcy, 'I'm A Celebrity', the importance of family, their constant press attention and turning their lives around". It's the latest social media mum-of-five Katie has suffered recently, after she mixed up the date of eldest daughter Princess Andre's 18th birthday. Katie initially shared a post on Instagram marking Princess' milestone two days early, before swiftly deleting it. She was then forced to post another message on the teen's actual birthday, writing: 'Happy birthday to the most amazing daughter @princess_andre. 'Now you're 18 so much more adventures we can do. I love you baby girl always and forever.'

Chris Woakes pays perfect tribute to late father with immaculate spell
Clean-cut Chris Woakes is perhaps the least likely England cricketer to sport a tattoo. But at Headingley last week, eagle-eyed viewers spotted that tucked away quietly on his left tricep was some new ink. In typical Woakes fashion, the tattoo is discreet and unshowy. He got it this year in memory of his father, Roger, who died last May. Woakes was deeply moved by his passing, taking time away from the game and saying that 'the last month has been the most challenging of my life'. The tattoo is intricate and pale, and shows Roger from behind, wearing a flat cap and walking with his hands behind his back, surrounded by his initials and dates. 'I got it in memory of him,' said Woakes, who was visibly emotional. 'My Dad always wore a flat cap, and he would walk around the boundary with his hands behind his back, nervously watching me play cricket.' Roger went to Edgbaston thousands of times, and had he been there on Wednesday, you suspect he would have loved what he saw from his son. After a rusty return at Headingley, Woakes bowled beautifully on his home ground. As he so often does, he grew into the series and looked better for a tough run-out in the first Test. Woakes took two wickets in fine batting conditions on a pitch designed to give his beloved Warwickshire a decent fifth-day crowd, but could have had plenty more. His opening spell was immaculate, with 34 of his first 36 balls dots, including the wicket of KL Rahul. He is building a fine, contrasting opening partnership with the more naturally aggressive Brydon Carse, who hit 92mph. Twice, umpire Sharfuddoula denied him with very marginal lbw shouts in an immaculate opening spell. The second was so close, with Karun Nair shouldering arms to a nip-backer, that mild-mannered Woakes even afforded himself a little grumble. Nevertheless, that will have made the dismissal of Nitish Kumar Reddy later in the day, bowled leaving the ball, even more satisfying. Woakes said that was England's plan because the pitch is too slow for outside edges. 'That was up there,' Woakes smiled phlegmatically, when asked if it was as grumpy as he had ever been on the field. 'I've got to be careful because I've had some [umpire's calls] go my way over the years but it was frustrating.' Woakes admitted that, in a ground packed with friends and family, he did afford his father the occasional thought. 'Definitely. He's always on my mind, that's for sure,' the 36-year-old said. 'There's moments where I think about him. He loved his cricket, and he'd have loved this week.' Asked if a wicket feels that bit more special on his home ground, the proud Brummie said: 'Yeah, I'd say so. Across a career you don't get that many games at your home venue. This is only my fourth. That's not a load. At the age I am, they don't come around too often. It's a special week and I have a lot of friends and family in the ground. I have a love for Warwickshire that goes deep. It's all I've ever known, my whole professional career has been here. I was here before this stand was here. I've seen it change, and there's a lot of people behind the scenes that support you in the good times and the bad. It's a special week to play at Edgbaston, it really is.' Chris Woakes makes the early breakthrough for England 🙌 — Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) July 2, 2025 Woakes has always been an easy man to write off, and there was some grumbling about his performance at Headingley. But Woakes averages 22.6 at home, 24.7 when Ben Stokes is captain (he has lost just one of his 11 Tests under Stokes, and 27.6 since Jimmy Anderson retired a year ago. For context Anderson, who captained Lancashire to their first victory of the season on Wednesday, averaged 43 across his last year as a Test cricketer. Woakes also bats (on a pitch this flat, could he become the first Warwickshire player to make a Test hundred at Edgbaston this week?), fields well, and is incredibly trustworthy. He is the model pro. Although he has improved – as evidenced in New Zealand last year – Woakes has never quite answered questions about his ability overseas, and he should go to Australia behind the likes of Carse in the pecking order to play in the Ashes. But wrapped in the warm blanket of his home comforts, and with family on his mind, there are few better than unfussy Woakes, as his fine opening spell showed.

EXCLUSIVE We live near a football stadium in one of the UK's 'most poverty-stricken areas'... Hollywood A-listers walk just miles from us
Locals in one of the UK's most poverty-stricken areas have warned that its council is 'neglecting pockets of deprivation at its peril'. Caia Park, Wrexham, is the largest council housing estate in Wales and has been plagued with 'generational' child poverty and unemployment issues for more than two decades. Despite an influx of far-flung tourists and Hollywood A-listers piling into the city every other week to watch football, many children and families are going hungry just 10 minutes from the Racecourse Ground. It is only due to the relentless work of charities and social enterprises that starving kids are staying off the streets away from the temptation of crime, drugs and violence, say many locals. But with a lack of funding from Wrexham County Borough Council and requests for grants being exhausted, the funds to keep these organisations afloat are quickly dwindling - sparking fears over the future consequences. Colin Powell, 63, has lived on the estate his entire life and now runs The Venture, a play centre at the heart of the community, which has been used as a leading example by universities and researchers of how to tackle poverty. Formed in 1978 on a 'rubbish tip', the site has now been transformed into a sprawling hub to keep more than 1000 children between five and 16 years old off the streets which for years have been ravaged by lawlessness. Now, Mr Powell has warned he is feeling the squeeze on his £300,000 per year upkeep, and has called on the council to stop using the play park as a 'political football' or that Caia Park would suffer 'the human cost of neglect'. He told MailOnline: 'The cost of one prison place would keep this place going with two staff for a year, but the public purse trying to undo the damages of poverty and deprivation would run into the millions. 'The cost of a place for a particularly challenging individual can be up to £1million a year. 'If we had that money the end result would be absolutely amazing, but we're always scrambling around to make sure our last five pence is spent wisely.' The 63-year-old, who himself grew up in poverty in the area and often had 'no food in the cupboard', has dedicated his life to The Venture and is now looking after the third generation of families he first worked with. With Mr Powell and the in-house chef plating food up for Caia Park's kids every night, he says some of them are reliant on eating at the play centre and if not for that option, they would spend their nights with an empty stomach. He added: 'One of the first things that happens with a number of kids when they come is them asking what we've got for food that night. 'Some kids rely on that and some do it as an extra to what they already have, but it relieves the pressure for parents on feeding the kids. 'The parents can then save money to buy new school shoes if their kids have worn through the last lot, so I would say it makes a huge difference to a number of families' Mother-of-five Kim Slawson, 33, has always lived in Caia Park and visited The Venture herself as a child, which she described as 'a godsend' for locals. She said: 'If they aren't open, the kids are out here causing trouble and messing about by the cars but if they're in there we don't have any bother. 'It was closed last week and the kids were outside causing chaos.' One teenager who now visits The Venture through the day was suspended from his school for 'headbutting' his teacher. But Mr Powell believes Caia Park is 'no different' from any other estate with a high rate of poverty. He said: 'Given the level of social issues and the level of non-educational attainment and the struggles and the battles that come with that, there are going to be people who are in pain. 'One of the things that we're able to do is to engage with those young people who cause absolute mayhem elsewhere and tell them to knock it off.' Wrexham MP Andrew Ranger said he would throw his weight behind a push for charities to receive more financial support as he attempts to tackle the child poverty crisis after being elected last July. After living in the region for more than 25 years, the Labour MP said amid the near-overnight transformation of Wrexham due to global interest in its football club, that Caia Park had been 'long forgotten'. He also said it was 'unfair' that organisations such as The Venture and Caia Park Partnership, who organise daily food giveaways, were doing the 'heavy lifting' in tackling poverty and crime. He said: 'I think they've done the heavy lifting for a long time in many different ways. 'There's been lots of funding in those areas in different tranches over the last 20 or 30 years but when that comes to a cliff edge or comes to a stop, then it's left to those last men standing to carry on the fight.' Mr Powell said he has not received any direct funding from the council in 20 years barring a Welsh Government initiative called Flying Start, which seeks to release some funds to assist 'disadvantaged' areas. After the latest Census data revealed 72 per cent of Caia Park residents are living in poverty, he took aim at the council for promoting Wrexham's 'children-first' focus in a bid to become the UK City of Culture for 2025, which left him with a 'sour taste'. Mr Powell said: 'We have visitors coming here [to The Venture] from around the world looking at what we do. We've got national and international recognition as being a centre of excellence, yet the local council wants nothing to do with us. 'They're happy to praise it when it suits a particular purpose. And the fact they want to celebrate the successes but actually don't contribute to it left me with a sour taste.' Caia Park resident Maria Villaca, 46, said the behaviour of Wrexham Council is 'wrong'. Local Shno Himid, 47, who lives across from The Venture, also said she would 'like to see' the council invest in the area more than they currently are. Mr Powell took aim at the council for promoting Wrexham's 'children-first' focus in a bid to become the UK City of Culture for 2025 She added: 'I know a lot of people whose kids come to play every day. It's good for the community. 'If the council can fund other things then why not fund them? They definitely should.' Locals also praised the work of the Caia Park Partnership, who donate food to residents and run free workshops for the community every day and are funded through grants and donations. Shauni Thomas, 32, is a Parenting Support Worker at the charity and says she would have struggled if it were not for their help when she was a teenage mother. Working alongside her former social worker and the Partnership's Senior Manager, Darren Richardson, 58, Ms Thomas told MailOnline how the lack of cash coming in could cause problems for the future. She said: 'We haven't got a lot, but we have got a community. 'The problem is funding. We can do as much as we can do, but without the funding we're not going to be here anymore, and then what's going to happen?' The charity was formed in 1997 to tackle crime in the area and over time has become a centrepiece to the community. Since the takeover of Wrexham AFC by Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Rob McElhenney, Ms Thomas says the club has become more involved with the charity than ever before. She said: 'We did our first event together just before Christmas. Some of the players came down and brought food hampers. 'We did a cooking session and they had a kickabout with some of the kids from the estate. That's a massive thing for the kids of Caia. 'Now we're going to do that up to four times a year. They'll come down and we'll do some more cook and eat sessions. They're very big on trying to tackle poverty and helping however they can.' Despite holding events for children - some as young as two weeks old - the charity caters to those as old as 86, offering events for all ages. Ms Thomas is hoping they can continue to help those on the estate make 'positive choices' rather than following the dangerous path of violence and crime, so often tempting for those who grow up with what she labelled as 'bad role models'. Responding to local criticism, a Wrexham Councillor told MailOnline that child poverty was a 'complex issue'. Cllr Beverley Parry-Jones said: 'Childhood poverty is a complex issue that requires ongoing support from national governments, working in partnership with local government, communities & voluntary organisations. 'Wrexham County Borough Council recognises the challenges in specific areas across the country including Wrexham.'
