It seems baby Bambi is never far away from doting dad Tommy Fury, as he’s made sure to include his little one in Soccer Aid 2023.
The former Love Island star, 24, takes to the pitch this weekend as the biggest celebrity football match returns.
Tommy plays alongside Liam Payne, Tom Hiddleston, Danny Dyer, and more, going head-to-head with Jill Scott’s England squad to raise money for Unicef.
He’s been training hard in the hopes of doing his team proud – and he’s got his little girl by his side, cheering him on in spirit.
Taking to Instagram ahead of Sunday’s match, girlfriend Molly-Mae Hauge, also 24, shared the sweetest picture of Tommy’s boots.
Always wanting to keep his girls close, the boxer has both ‘Molly-Mae’ and ‘Bambi’ written on his shoes in white.
Next to Molly’s name is a red love heart, along with a Bambi illustration from the classic Disney film.
His other shoe features a ‘TNT’ in reference to his boxing nickname.
PrettyLittleThing creative director Molly is supporting her other half from home, sharing a picture from the Soccer Aid account to her Story.
‘Let’s go!’, she wrote.
Soccer Aid returns to Old Trafford in Manchester this weekend for the first time since the pandemic hit.
Representing World XI, Tommy makes his Soccer Aid debut, captained by none other than Olympic champion Usain Bolt – so he’s in safe hands.
Speaking ahead of the big game, Tommy expressed his excitement to be on the same team as such legends.
‘I used to watch Usain in all the Olympics and to be playing alongside him on a football pitch will be absolutely incredible,’ he said.
‘I think for the first 10 or 15 seconds I’ll be a little bit starstruck until he tells me to get in position.
‘But I’ll try and do him proud.’
Tommy is also buzzing to be on the pitch at the home of Manchester United.
‘My granddad is mad obsessed with football and ever since I was a kid he always used to take me to United games. He always used to watch United so I grew up around them,’ he said.
Despite the inevitable friendly competition between the two teams, Tommy understands that it’s not all about winning.
Managed by new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, he added that he’s not the best footie player in the game.
‘It’s having fun and taking part, that’s what counts and I’m sure we’ll put on a great show.’
Soccer Aid takes place on Sunday, June 11 at 7.30pm and will be broadcast on ITV and STV, with a live stream available on ITVX.
