Love Island's Tommy Fury reveals he doesn't know how to make a cup of tea - and sends viewers into meltdown

He might know his way around a boxing ring but Tommy Fury struggled when he was introduced to a kettle on Love Island.

The Manchester boxer sparked a meltdown on Twitter when he revealed that he didn't know how to make a cup of peppermint tea.

Tommy wanted to make a drink for Molly Mae Hague, who he's coupled up with in the house so the 20-year-old brother of Tyson Fury asked his fellow Islander Sherif Lanre for help and said: "Just make it look like I'm doing it."

With Molly Mae out of eyeshot, Tommy prepared the hot beverage for the social media influencer.

"Your mum does everything for you doesn't she?" teased Anton Danyluk, who had admitted earlier in the series that his mum shaves his bottom for him.

"Tommy got off to such a good start but can't make peppermint tea.... Oh dear!" gasped one viewer on Twitter.

"All good looks but not knowing how to make an infused tea," remarked another.

"Tommy can’t make tea?" asked another baffled fan.

"Did Tommy think he had to pop a polo in the tea?" asked former I'm A Celebrity finalist Jake Quickenden.

But the moment endeared Tommy to other fans of the ITV2 dating show.

"Awww Tommy's so cute I love him even more," said one.

Tommy coupled up with Molly Mae on Friday night after they hit it off on a date in a hot tub.

He was free to pursue romance with Molly Mae after his previous date Lucie Donlan decided to re-couple with Joe Garratt.

Tommy entered the famous villa alongside professional dancer Curtis Pritchard at the end of the launch episode on Monday.
