Love Island’s Tommy Fury reportedly used a homophobic slur in a historic tweet.  

Tyson Fury’s younger brother, who entered the dating show’s villa this week, was allegedly 15 when he branded British heavyweight Dereck Chisora a ‘f****t’. 

The Daily Star reports that the 20-year-old’s tweet was sent to his older brother in the run-up to a fight with Chisora in 2014, in news which surfaced just days after it was alleged he spoke about buying cocaine in a group chat.

According the the publication, the tweet read: ‘Come on bro let’s get dis win good luck brother and Chisora is a f****t and he’s gettin it proper @Tyson_Fury’. MailOnline has contacted a Love Island representative for comment. 

The slur is the second scandal faced by Tommy, who has also been accused of discussing buying drugs in a Whatsapp group chat.

In a text reportedly viewed by The Sun on Sunday, the boxer is believed to have said to the group at large: ‘Anyone want a lot of coke for the night?’

It comes as the villa’s newest bombshell Molly-Mae Hague has come under fire for her use of ‘homophobic’ language in a historic tweet.

In 2014, the blonde bombshell, 20 appeared to use the word ‘gay’ in an offensive manner as she discussed a contestant on the Great British Bake Off with a friend on Twitter. 

While the exchange took place five years ago when she was 15, there has also been a further series of social media activity that has raised eyebrows over the years – including a 2016 retweet from a now-deleted account that featured the ‘N-word’.

Molly-Mae’s 2014 tweet began when a pal of hers voiced her disappointment at the GBBO finale – claiming that a certain contestant ‘deserved to win.’

Ouch! The tweet was in relation to Tyson’s fight with Dereck Chisora for the WBO World Heavyweight Championship during Boxing at ExCel on November 29 2014 

The then-budding reality star responded: ‘gay but the truth’, prompting her friend to reply: ‘Na it’s da truth…no gayness involved.’ 

Two years later, Molly-Mae, who is the ex-girlfriend of Leicester City midfielder James Maddison, retweeted a link from an account ‘N**** Commentary’ as she discussed a joke involving former US president Barack Obama and actress Miranda Cosgrove.

In another exchange, Molly-Mae liked a tweet where her pal dubbed themselves a ‘true spastic’ after misunderstanding her original message.

Tommy sent fans wild after he told Molly-Mae ‘you’re my ideal woman’ in a steamy hot tub date and then backtracked with Lucie on Friday’s episode of Love Island.

The boxer was slammed by viewers for being a ‘snake’ and a ‘player’ after he attempted to reassure Lucie that she didn’t have anything to worry about, just minutes after he’d hit it off with Molly-Mae.  

Molly-Mae caused a storm when she met Tommy in a private hot tub setting in the Hideaway and there was an instant spark between the two Islanders. 

Not holding back and forgetting about Lucie, Tommy confessed: ‘You’re literally my ideal woman. You’re a gym girl. You’re beautiful.’ 

Tommy then returned to the villa and headed straight over to Lucie to assure her he was still interested. Shocked fans took to Twitter to brand Tommy as a ‘snake’.
