In the interview Speaking to Steven Bartlett on the podcast Diary of a CEO, the Dragon’s Den star asked Molly – who has an 18-month-old daughter, Bambi, with Tommy – if she has “lots of friends”.
“No, absolutely not,” Molly replied.
“My circle is minuscule. I literally have about five people in my circle and they are friends too.
“I have acquaintances and people in my life that I live with, my friends. But I, no, my circle is very small and I like that.

“I wouldn’t want it any other way.
“I work, spend time with my boyfriend and go to bed. That’s literally my life.”
Molly stressed that she has never had a problem with a busy social life.
“I don’t really drink, I don’t go to parties and I don’t go out, but that’s just because I don’t really enjoy it,” she said.
“It’s not for me.
“I’d rather focus on making money, being successful and being happy.”
“I appreciate her honesty,” Steven wrote in the comments on the video clip of the podcast interview, which he shared on TikTok.
“Is anyone here after the announcement?” someone else wrote, adding a crying emoji.
“She looks hurt when she says the first part,” sighed another.
“This is really sad,” a third admitted.
“That’s sad, we’re social creatures,” said someone else.
As another added: “This clip really stuck with me.”
‘Molly and Tommy seemed like a picture, their split was completely unexpected’

There were gasps of horror around our desks when Molly Mae revealed she had split from Tommy.
The break after five years came completely unexpectedly.
In recent months, there have been rumours that the couple had their eyes on him after he was spotted at a party with women, while Molly-Mae was at home with their baby.
Her statement testifies to something that has not yet come to light.
Although Molly wrote the story with a keen eye for publicity, her sadness is evident in every word.
As I type this, my WhatsApp groups are filling up with messages about how this seemingly rock-solid couple has fallen apart into thin air.
Just three weeks ago, Molly posted a video of the moment Tommy proposed to her, after pulling off an elaborate stunt that ultimately saw him get down on one knee.
The couple’s relationship, which included Love Island favourite Ellie Bellie and later the birth of their daughter Bambi, seemed picture perfect to outsiders.
Molly has built her brand around her healthy family life with Tommy.
She carefully selects cozy photos for her Instagram page, on which her 7.9 million followers follow her attentively and try to recreate her life as best as possible.
To be honest, Molly is one of the few Love Islanders that I, along with a few of my friends, follow on social media because of her girl-next-door vibe and stylish fashion choices.
Celebrity breakups often go wrong, but there’s something shocking about the end of what seemed like a happy relationship at first.
Earlier this year, Tommy at Soccer Aid was reluctant when one of my colleagues asked him about their upcoming wedding plans.
That was not so strange, because most men do not like to talk about their wives when they are playing football with their friends.
But it was a marked change from the Tommy many of us have interviewed over the years, who was always so enthusiastic about his bride-to-be.
Thousands of Molly-Mae’s fans, and no doubt a few Instagram and Tattle Life sleuths too, will now be scouring the internet and social media for clues.
And given the number of calls we’re receiving, I have no doubt that the real reason Molly-Mae broke up with Tommy will come to light in the coming hours.
As a true fan and follower, I really hope she gets support from the people who love her the most.
Breakups suck at best. But when you’re in the public eye and you decide to announce your breakup so suddenly – and clearly without mutual consent – they’re a lot harder.
Molly-Mae and Tommy surprised fans when they announced their split on Wednesday.
Molly-Mae wrote in a statement: “I never thought I would ever have to write this.
“After five years of being together, I never thought our story would end like this, and certainly not in this way.
“I am extremely sad to announce that Tommy and I have ended our relationship.
“I will always be grateful for the most important thing to me: my beautiful daughter.
“Without us she wouldn’t exist, she will always be my priority.”
Tommy also released a statement, adding: “I am devastated that Molly and I have decided to end our relationship.
“The past 5 years have led to the birth of our beautiful girl, Bambi, and I will be forever grateful to Molly for making me a father. Bambi is our priority.
“Please respect our privacy and the privacy of our families as we work through this difficult time.”
Their statements, which were remarkably released separately, sparked a storm of reactions from fans on social media, with many admitting they were stunned by the announcement.
“Please tell me this isn’t true, stay strong,” one person wrote.
“Is anyone else really shocked by Molly’s story?” asked another.
“I feel like I grew up through their relationship.”
“OMG Tommy and Molly have broken up and I’m waiting for their wedding next year,” said a third.
The couple became Love Island legends when they fell in love in season four in 2019.
They got engaged during a holiday in Ibiza in July 2023, six months after Molly-Mae gave birth to their daughter Bambi.
