Disgraced ex-BBC pundit Boris Becker is back commentating on Wimbledon — from his living room in Germany

DISGRACED former BBC pundit Boris Becker is back commentating on Wimbledon — from his living room in Germany.

The fallen tennis legend, 55, is posting his thoughts on the tournament via Instagram.

He was deported from the UK last year after serving eight months in jail for hiding assets after declaring himself bankrupt.

Calling the social media posts “Becker’s Best of Wimbledon”, he promised daily updates on the action from his home.

He added: “I’ll also answer some of the tennis-related questions you might have.”

He previously told how last year he broke down in tears watching Wimbledon from behind bars.

Becker said after his jail spell that he lived next to murderers and drug dealers at HMP Wandsworth.

He said: “In plain English, a s***-hole. It’s a dangerous place.”

Becker was later moved to Huntercombe Prison in Nuffield, Oxfordshire, a jail for foreign nationals.

A two-part show Boris Becker: Rise and Fall starts on July 13 on ITVX.
