Venezuela Fury, 16, hits back at 'unkind' marriage critics as she reveals next career move
Venezuela Fury has slammed critics calling out her marriage to husband Noah Price at the age of 16 - while revealing her next hopeful career move.
Venezuela married Noah, 19, in May this year in a huge ceremony on the Isle of Man where the wider Fury family live.
The legal age for marriage on the Isle of Man with parental consent is also 16 while back in England and Wales, you must be at least 18 years old to marry or form a civil partnership.
It is illegal to marry under 18, even with parental consent.

Sitting down with Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard on ITV's This Morning, Venezuela - who finally addressed why she wore huge sunglasses on her wedding day - was asked how she approaches critics of her decision to get married so young.
"I think, as long it’s not my family or my friends, they’re the people what matter to me, I ain’t bothered," the 16-year-old said.
"I don’t like people being unkind. I don’t agree with spreading badness where they shouldn’t be."
She added: "But yes, I am young, but I found the person I want, and I’ve carried on with my life. Everyone’s got to start somewhere, so I started young."
Venezuela ended the interview being asked if she would like to take her reality TV experience further.
Earlier this year, she once again starred in Netflix's At Home With The Furys which documented her engagement to now husband Noah.
Responding, she revealed she wants to get her own reality TV show commissioned alongside the Fury family's hugely successful series which so far has two seasons to its name. A third season has officially been renewed.
"I would love to [have my own reality show], we're trying to look in to it and I think it would be really great," Venezuela said.
Asked how she’s finding married life, she said: “I’m enjoying it. We’ve only been married a month, but everything’s going smoothly.
“I’m learning new things every day. I’m learning how to cook. We go everywhere together. We do everything together. It’s really nice.”
Price, who training to become a boxer like his former world champion father-in-law Tyson, told the show he 'knew from the start' that he wanted to marry Venezuela.
He said: “I didn’t want to mess her about, I thought she was perfect.
“I was her first boyfriend, she was wife material. When I first seen her, I thought, yeah, I’m gonna marry that girl one day. And then I made the dream come true.”
The family’s reality show At Home With The Furys follows the heavyweight champion as he exits the ring and tries to embrace retirement with his family including his wife Paris, father John, and their children.
Paris and Tyson have both been public in their support for Venezuela's nuptials at a young age, citing their own romance beginning at a similar age.
They were 19 and 21, respectively, when they tied the knot, with the couple renewing their vows for a second time in the latest season of their Netflix reality TV show, taking the family to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southern France.
