The 27-year-old and her partner Tommy Fury named their second child Midas, with the Love Island star clarifying in a YouTube video it was “not necessarily” after the Greek mythological king.

She added: “This was years ago and I heard the name and was like ‘wow, that’s a really, cool strong name’ and I’d never heard of it before. I just thought Midas Fury was such a strong name and then I mentioned it to Tommy and he just absolutely fell in love with it.”The name Midas was publicly revealed earlier this month when Tommy Fury wore it on his boxing shirt and shorts during a fight in Manchester.
