Love Islands Tommy Fury might be prepping to look for love in the villa but it looks like hes already had a go at cracking on with a celebrity.

The 20-year-old boxer reportedly once dated Hollyoaks actor Chelsee Healey, 30, after they bumped into each during a night out in Manchester, the Mirror reports.

However, they apparently got off to a rocky start as Tommy – who is the young brother of heavyweight champion Tyson – failed to complete the pull and went home without her number.

But all wasnt lost as he hopped on Instagram to send the actress a string of flirty messages.

A source close to the boxer said: We were on a night out in Manchester and Chelsee just happened to be there.

Tommy noticed her straight away and couldnt stop looking at her. He was proper smitten.

In a text obtained by The Sun on Sunday, Tommy allegedly wrote: Anyone want a lot of coke for the night?

A source told the publication: When he sent the message to the WhatsApp group everybody just kind of ignored it. He hadnt taken part in any of the conversation and it was such a random message.

He clearly wanted to have a wild weekend and get anybody else he could involved as well.
