Boxer Tommy Fury said it was a “dream come true” as he hosted a red carpet premiere for his new BBC documentary on home turf in Manchester on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Tommy<\/a> was joined by family, friends and stars from the sporting and showbiz world at The Printworks as his new tell-all BBC<\/a> documentary, Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury, aired for the first time on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

A crowd of fans gathered around the red carpet at The Vue cinema in The Printworks<\/a>, which was decked out with giant portraits of Tommy on the digital ceiling and on the video billboards outside as stars from TV and sport headed in to the screening.<\/p>\n

And when Salford-born Tommy, 26, emerged onto the red carpet to wave at the crowds there were huge cheers and yelps of “We love you Tommy”.<\/p>\n

Tommy told the MEN he was so grateful for the support he has received, especially on home turf.<\/p>\n

He said: “It’s amazing, I’m happy to be in my hometown, I’m thankful to everyone who turned out, I love the city of Manchester<\/a>, I love the people in it, and it’s where I’m from!<\/p>\n

“it’s my home town, so to have this [premiere] here, five minutes from where I grew up, it’s a dream come true.”<\/p>\n

Tommy, a self-confessed Red, was also joined on the red carpet by Manchester City star Phil Foden, with the pair shaking hands and chatting together before the premiere.<\/p>\n

The series promises to show the highs and the lows of Tommy’s life since appearing on Love Island, rising to meteoric fame, then suffering a boxing injury, and his life spiralling as he turned to drink and his resulting break-up from girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague.<\/p>\n

It has been teased that later in the series fans will get to see how he wins back Molly-Mae after turning his life around.<\/p>\n

In the opening episode, Tommy opens up about the days leading up to the breakdown of his relationship.<\/p>\n

In it he says: “I hold my hands up, drink got hold of me \u2013 20 shots a night, 20 beers.<\/p>\n

“Every day I would have a drink and I would drink to get blackout drunk, and that is what led to me not being the right partner to Molly.”<\/p>\n

When the 26-year-old appeared on BBC Breakfast on Tuesday morning, he opened up on the current status of his relationship with Molly-Mae.<\/p>\n

He revealed: “Me and Molly are in the best place that we’ve ever been in in our entire lives, even before all this. We’re so good now and it’s so nice to be in a healthy and loving relationship again.<\/p>\n

“We’re keeping everything to ourselves and just enjoying what we’ve got and what we’ve created in Bambi.”<\/p>\n

Molly-Mae was not present at the premiere in Manchester on Tuesday night, with Tommy instead supported by his mum Chantal in a rare public appearance alongside Tommy’s dad John and brother Roman.<\/p>\n

Tommy said: “My mam and dad are here, my brothers are here, my nearest and dearest, me mates, and we’re all going to enjoy it at the end of the day, we’re all going to enjoy it, we’re all from the same place and I’m just happy we’re all here and can experience it together.”<\/p>\n

He added that Bambi is a little too young to attend the busy premiere, saying: “She’s a bit young, but she’s not camera shy I can tell you that!”<\/p>\n

In the series, viewers will see Tommy calling his role as a dad to Bambi the most important in his life. And he says we can expect to see lots of their regular family days out around Manchester and Cheshire.<\/p>\n

He said: “You’re gong to see everything, the highs, the lows me as a father, me as a fighter, me as a partner, me as a brother, you’re going to see a whole heap of things. There’s a lot to look out for.”<\/p>\n

In sharing his darker moments, including his relationship with alcohol, Tommy said he wants to show people “there’s light at the end of the tunnel” by showing his own journey in addressing his issues with booze.<\/p>\n

He said: “I didn’t want to make it seem like my life is just pure heaven, sunshine and rainbows and nothing ever happens, I wanted to show that even when you’re at the top of your game, even when you’ve got everything you ever wanted things can still go wrong.<\/p>\n

“It’s a really real documentary, I’ve not held anything back I’ve been very open.”<\/p>\n
