Penning a statement in her Instagram Story, the 25-year-old admitted: "Never in a million years did I think I'd ever have to write this.

"After five years of being together I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.

"I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy's relationship has come to an end.

"I will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter. Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority.

"I want to thank you all for the love you have shown us over the last five years.

"You have all been a part of our journey and I feel it's right to share this with you all.

"Whilst I attempt to navigate the coming days and weeks please kindly respect my privacy over this difficult time, I'll be back when it feels right. Molly-Mae x."

Tommy also released a statement on the matter in the minutes that followed.

"I am heartbroken to share that Molly & I have decided to end our relationship," the 25-year-old boxer wrote.

"The past 5 years have led to us having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi & I will be forever thankful to Molly for making me a dad. Bambi is our priority.

"Please respect our privacy, and our families privacy, as we navigate our way through this difficult time."

And as we say, since news hit the headlines earlier today, fans have been left heartbroken by the ITV dating's shows 'poster couple's split.

So much so, that many are claiming the break-up has prevented them from carrying out daily life activities.

"Got work in an hour but this molly mae and tommy fury news is just too much. Gonna have to call in sick," one jokingly penned online.

Another tweeted: "Just called in sick because I heard Tommy Fury and Molly Mae have broken up. For all my girls out there that need support during these hard times, my DMs are open."

"Calling in sick tomorrow because molly mae and tommy broke up," a third jibed.

And while many viral remarks might have been said in jest, it seems some fans are taking the news harder than others.

Taking to the comments of the black and white video the used by the couple last summer to break the sweet news of their engagement, one fan wrote: "No I don’t believe it."

Another begged: "Your story .. are you pranking us ?"

A third commented: "And it’s over just like that."

A fourth continued: "Damn it felt like just a couple months ago."

Someone else penned: "I CANT BELIEVE YALL BROKE UP."
