Boris Becker’s ex-wife Lilly looked on cloud nine as she touched down at Frankfurt Airport on Wednesday after winning the German version of I’m A Celebrity.

While Lilly, 49, celebrates her win with their son Amadeus, 15, ex-husband Boris suffered a blow as he was forced to pull out of Netflix’s Celebrity Bear Hunt.

The former Wimbledon tennis star, 57, had to pull out of the series in episode five after hurting his knee. 

Following his injury, Boris told HELLO! that he had to have surgery on his right meniscus when he returned home.

He said: ‘It was frustrating, I’m a compeтιтor and I like to win. Aches and pains are part of professional life, but my knee problem got actually worse without giving too much away.

‘I ultimately had surgery on my right meniscus after I came back home.’

Boris had been declared bankrupt the year before, owing creditors £50million, over an unpaid loan of more than £3million on his estate on the Spanish island of Mallorca.

The six-time grand slam champion was jailed in April 2022 for hiding £2.5million of ᴀssets and loans to avoid paying his debts. 

Lilly will now enjoy her €100,000 prize money after beating fellow finalists Alessia Herren, 23, and Pierre Sanoussi-Bliss, 62.

The former tennis star served eight months of a two-and-a-half-year sentence before being extradited to Germany in time for Christmas 2022.

Boris went on to tie the knot with Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, 33, in Italy last year – marking his third time up the aisle.

He had previously been married to first wife, Barbara Feltus, from 1993 until 2001, after Boris admitted to having an affair while she was pregnant with their second child.

His two sons with Barbara, Noah, 30, and Elias, 25, were in attendance at his wedding to Liliam, however conspicuous by their absence were Amadeus and his daughter Anna Ermakova, 24.

Model Anna was born after Boris had a one-night stand with Russian waitress Angela in the broom cupboard of London’s Nobu while first wife Barbara was in labour with Elias.

Lilly later said Boris had purposely not invited Amadeus to his wedding, telling German magazine Bunte: ‘When I asked Amadeus about it, he was surprised. He didn’t know anything about it.

‘Of course he’s wondering why he wasn’t invited and that his father didn’t tell him anything about it.’

While she insisted that she wished her ex the best, she added that ‘behaving that way towards our son really is the last straw. Who doesn’t want him to come?’
