Boris Becker had to pause his first TV interview since being released from prison after one question prompted him to fight back tears. The former tennis icon was released from custody and deported back to Germany earlier this month after serving time for hiding millions of pounds worth of assets. 

Becker, 55, was sentenced to two-and-a-half years back in April after a jury found him guilty of multiple charges under the insolvency act. The case related to his bankruptcy in 2017 and he was found to have hidden £2.5million worth of assets to avoid repaying creditors. 

The former Wimbledon champion conducted his first broadcasted interview since being released from prison on German TV this Tuesday. He initially became emotional when telling SAT.1 about going straight from the courtroom to prison: “It can hardly be more brutal. My children accepted that honestly and strongly. I told my girlfriend Lilian that she doesn’t have to wait for me, she is a young woman.

“She replied, ‘Don’t talk s***. We are a team!” Becker was fighting back tears and requested a brief pause to the interview, but the German broadcaster had to cut to a full commercial break several minutes later when he discussed the harsh conditions in prison and the threat of danger.
