The Tommy Fury messaging scandal has taken a shock twist as a woman who accused him of sending her flirty DMs has claimed she was ‘catfished’ by an imposter.
Earlier this month, Tommy’s fiancée Molly-Mae Hague, 25, left fans stunned as she announced her shock split with the boxer, also 25, after five years together – with it since emerging that he allegedly ‘cheated’ on her.
THE FLIRT ACCUSATIONS
This week, a woman called Kay Keogh accused Tommy of ‘messaging her after spotting her on a night out in Manchester’ while engaged to Molly-Mae.
At the time, she took to TikTok to share a screenshot of a message from an account which was allegedly Tommy’s, which read: ‘Are you in Manchester?’
However, she’s since returned to the platform to confess she was duped by a fake account and says it wasn’t Tommy who messaged her at all.
HOW SHE WAS CATFISHED
Sharing a video, Kay told how she’d received a message from someone who told her that they were behind the messages and not the Love Island star.
She claims to have fell for the messages after being at an event in Manchester with someone who ‘could’ve passed for’ Tommy, adding that she was ‘really confused’.
Speaking in the clip, she says: ‘I obviously got catfished. Someone was basically, definitely tolling me because another fake account has messaged me and they’ve literally said to me “you actually thought that was him? that was me.”

SAID SHE WAS CONFUSED
‘And obviously people are gonna be like “but you said you saw him?” but like I said, I was really confused already. And it was also really weird that I was just in Manchester and we had gone to a private event and there was a group of guys and one of the guys could have passed for being him.’
She continued: ‘Like I said, I don’t even now know what he really looks like. I know he has brown hair and is like really muscly. But yeah this person has messaged me and basically told me they were trolling me.’
Kay added her apparent surprise that people can now ‘buy verifications and change their name’ on social media.
