During the first episode of the series Molly reflected on Zoe's wedding day, saying: "I literally pleaded with Tommy, like I begged him to not drink [at the wedding], and I don't know, it's really sad. I don't know why I'm crying now. It's just so sad. It just like affected me. That's why my relationship with alcohol is so damaged."
What does Zoe Rae say in Molly-Mae's documentary?
Zoe appears in a number of scenes in Molly-Mae's new docu-series Behind it All. At times we get to see old videos of the siblings when they were younger, playing on the beach together and on holiday.
We also see Zoe in the present day discussing Tommy and Molly's relationship. During the series Zoe mentions how she and Tommy often didn't see eye to eye.
"Mine and Tommy’s relationship was very very turbulent. We definitely butted heads a fair few times about him going out and obviously me being protective of Molly," she said.
Zoe praises Tommy has a father to her niece Bambi, and acknowledges that she wasn't aware of what was actually going on for Tommy at the time.
"He was great with Bambi," she said. "But he wasn’t at the time being a great partner - I think that’s what she [Molly-Mae] potentially couldn't’ see. I think he was battling a lot more things than we realised.”
During Tommy's interview with Men's Health he revealed his alcohol struggles came after a boxing injury left him unable to train and impacted his mental health.
