Molly-Mae Hague wears dazzling diamond jewellery on a low key shopping trip in Cheshire - but there's ONE £600k ring still missing despite reconciliation with Tommy Fury

Molly-Mae Hague was spotted still without her £600k engagement ring as she headed out on a low key shopping trip in Cheshire on Friday. The influencer, 26, who recently reconciled with former fiancé Tommy Fury, also 26, has not been seen with the sparkler since their split last summer, with neither confirming if the engagement is now back on. Molly-Mae looked effortlessly stylish on the outing in a black co-ord from her own Maebe collection which she wore with tinted shades and £700 Hermes sandals. The beauty, who got engaged in Ibiza in July 2023, accessorised with diamond bracelets, a £60K Philipe Lady Nautilus watch and numerous rings, but her wedding finger was noticeably bare. Molly-Mae appeared in great spirits as she shopped in home wear store before stopping to pose for selfies with fans in the carpark. Following their engagement ROX Managing Director and Co-founder Kyron Keogh estimated Tommy spent a whopping £600,000 on the oval-cut diamond band. He told MailOnline: 'Molly-Mae's engagement ring features an exquisite oval-shaped diamond that looks like 6 carats, and it if it's high colour and clarity, it could be worth an estimated £600k. 'Oval diamonds offer a fresh take on the classic diamond solitaire, making them a unique choice for those who want to break away from tradition and stand out. 'This cut has become increasingly sought after with celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian and Hailey Bieber choosing this style.' Molly and Tommy shocked their fans last summer when they announced that they had split, with Tommy later revealing it was down to his drinking. With a source telling The Sun that they are in the 'honeymoon period again' and their slow reconciliation has seen them enjoy several family trips with daughter Bambi, two. But the publication has also reported that a feud is brewing between the two families over the couple's decision to give their relationship another go. In the latest episodes of Molly-Mae's Amazon Prime documentary Behind It All, Molly-Mae's siter Zoe expressed her doubts over Tommy openly. And this in turn has reportedly angered Tommy's family including his brother Tyson and his wife Paris. Molly and Tommy shocked their fans last summer when they announced that they had split, with Tommy later revealing it was down to his drinking 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. Tyson, Tommy and Molly-Mae Hague have been contacted by MailOnline for comment. Zoe said of Tommy on the documentary: 'I do worry for her and my relationship with her if they did get back together. 'I think she potentially needs to look into the future and think about what's best for her and Bambi. She's got a long, rocky road ahead, unfortunately.' It comes after Molly-Mae and Tommy looked every inch the happy family as they enjoyed a very lavish 'surprise trip' to the Cotswolds. After months of rumours that the couple had rekindled their romance following their split in August, the pair finally went Instagram official last month with a loved-up family snap. And Tommy has clearly been making the effort since their shock split as he whisked his family off to a 'surprise trip' to the Cotswolds. Sharing an array of snaps to her Instagram Stories, Molly shared some sweet moments from the mini break as she took a dip in the pool with Bambi. Elsewhere she shared a snippet of her very lavish accommodation which featured huge L-shaped couches and large emperor beds. And Bambi appeared to settle in straight away as she was pushing her toy pram around the luxury property. Alongside a mirror selfie, Molly penned: 'Back from St Tropez and straight to the Cotswolds for a surprise staycation. 'This look is giving mum who's had approx 3 seconds to get ready'. Molly and Tommy fell for each other in front of the nation during series five of Love Island, going on to welcome Bambi and then get engaged in 2023. But fans were shocked when Molly announced on Instagram last August that she and Tommy had split up after five years, with many suspecting he had been unfaithful. In a statement posted to her 8.5million Instagram followers, she confirmed the breakup, saying: 'I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.' Tommy denied continued speculation about him cheating during a magazine interview, insisting any reports about him being with other women were 'complete and utter b*****ks.' The boxer, who's the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson, said the reason he and Molly ended their romance was down to his excessive drinking.

Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver shares update on 'misunderstood' health battle as she admits to feeling 'faint while filming' after bidding farewell to the ITV soap after 25 years

Sue Cleaver has shared a new health update after leaving Coronation Street following a 25 year stint on the show. The soap star, 61, known for playing Eileen Grimshaw since 2000, said goodbye to Weatherfield in an episode that aired earlier this month. But behind the cameras, the actress has been battling Type 2 diabetes for over 20 years, which at times caused her to feel faint while filming. Sue now credits the use of a continuous glucose monitor called Dexcom with helping her take back control of her health. In a new interview with The Sun, she said: 'I think there is a lot of misunderstanding around diabetes, people tell you can't eat chocolate or sugar - but where I struggle with my diabetes is when I'm about to go on stage or when I'm about to go on Loose Women or live shows. 'Before I go on I'd have to prick my finger and check if my sugar is stable enough to get me to the interval or do I need to eat.' Sue confessed that there were moments on set when she felt 'faint' during filming. She explained: 'If I'm about to go on stage or live shows and I don't know if I'm going to make it if my sugars aren't stable enough, and I don't have time to prick my finger, you tend to think 'let me eat this thing now' and then you tend to feel the effects of it later or the middle of the show.' It comes after Sue insisted that her 'body doesn't define her' as she opened up about her incredible three stone weight loss. The star also admitted she was still learning to battle 'negative thoughts' about her appearance after embracing a healthier lifestyle and regular work outs. Last year, she told Bella: 'My body is now who I am. My body will change, my size will go up and down and I don't define myself or get involved in any of those conversations around it'. 'What's more important is to do the work on the inside. I'm changing how I live, doing things differently, thats that I thought I didn't like, and changing myself'. Sue continued: 'The trouble is when you've got negative thoughts you hang onto them. So it's learning not to take those thoughts so seriously. In March 2024, Sue discussed her weight loss after participating in Dry January the year before (no alcohol for the month). She said: 'I lost 18lb [in 2022's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here]. I'd already lost a stone and a half that year, because I gave up booze. I did Dry January and then I decided to carry on. 'I know it sounds ridiculous at my age, but I never really thought about how many calories I was consuming when I was having a glass of red wine while cooking dinner and then a couple more while eating it. 'If you're doing that four or five nights a week, that's a lot of calories.' Last year Sue revealed that since entering her 60s she feels that the world is now her 'oyster after years of alcohol dependency. Telling Prima: 'There are so many people my age who I speak to that are depressed about reaching 60. You feel like this is the end of the line, that everything goes down from here. And I absolutely don't feel that way. 'I just feel like the world really is my oyster now, and there's so much available out there. There's so much that you can do.' She also revealed in the candid interview how her reliance on alcohol has lessened as she gets older, explaining: 'I don't have any fear around alcohol any more, and that is really freeing.' 'I never imagined getting to that state. I thought I had a dependency. I thought I couldn't get by without having a glass of wine at night.' 'I thought life wouldn't be great without a glass of wine. It would be absolutely great without wine. I just thought it wouldn't. It's the thinking around it that is the problem.'

Fan gets three-year ban for racially abusing player on Instagram

June 20 (Reuters) - A fan who racially abused former Tamworth striker Chris Wreh after the fifth-tier club's FA Cup defeat to Tottenham Hotspur has been banned from attending matches for three years, the Football Association said on Friday. Harry Dunbar, of John Bunyan Close in Whiteley, admitted to sending a racist message to Wreh, who is Black, via Instagram after losing a bet on the match, which Tamworth lost 3-0 to Tottenham in the FA Cup third round on 12 January. Dunbar, 20, was sentenced at Portsmouth Magistrates Court on Wednesday. In addition to the banning order, Dunbar will serve a 12-month Community Order of 200 hours unpaid work and 10 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement days. "We welcome the decision of Portsmouth Magistrates' Court to impose a three-year football banning order on Harry Dunbar," the FA said in a statement. "We hope that this ruling sends a clear message that incidents of discrimination – whether in person or online – will not be tolerated, and that strong action will be taken against perpetrators of this unacceptable behaviour." Wreh refused to play for the National League side following the incident. He wrote on X, opens new tab, two days after the match that though he had the support of manager Andy Peaks, he was "disappointed" the club had not made a public statement condemning the abuse he had suffered.
