Boris Becker insists "what happens in prison stays in prison" as he "feared for life"

Former tennis player Boris Becker has refused to disclose too much information regarding his time behind bars.

Last April, the German was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison after being found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act. The six-time Grand Slam winner spent time at Wandsworth Prison before being transferred to HMP Huntercombe near Nuffield, Oxfordshire, where he spent the majority of his time in jail.

It was there that Becker - who only ended up serving eight months in prison - suffered the most challenging period of his time in jail as a fellow inmate left him feeling terrified. During an interview on ITV daytime show This Morning, host Holly Willoughby asked the youngest ever Wimbledon champion about his experience, but he did not give much away at all.
