Tyson Fury’s, 33, friend and former professional boxer, Carl Froch, claimed Paris Fury, 32, is pregnant with her seventh child during an appearance on Saturday morning's BBC Breakfast.When probed by presenters whether Tyson will retire after his fight against Dillian Whyte, Carl replied: “Well, listen, he has got five or six children, I don’t want to get it wrong.“He has got a lot of kids and I think Paris, his wife, is pregnant, so why not sail off into the sunset.”Tyson and Paris already have six children together.Their eldest daughter, Venezuela, was born in 2009 and followed by Prince John James, nine, Prince Tyson II, five, Valencia, four, and Prince Adonis Amaziah, two.A post shared by Paris Fury (@parisfury1)The couple’s youngest, Athena, was born last August.Neither Tyson or Paris have commented on the pregnancy claims yet but on Friday the boxer dropped a hint that a new baby was on the horizon.He said: “My wife has been at home waiting for me for ten years, we have six kids and I am going to put another bun in her oven"I am going to be a family man and a big fat pig, fatter than I already am,” he added, as reported by The Sun.A post shared by Paris Fury (@parisfury1)Boxing commentator Carl let slip that Paris may be expecting on the day of Tyson’s heavyweight fight against Dillian Whyte.The Gypsy King will battle to defend his title in front of 94,000 fans at Wembley, with Paris expected to be ringside.The pair met when Paris was 15 at a mutual friend’s wedding.They did not begin a romantic relationship until she turned 16 and they got married in 2008.Tyson and Paris gave fans and insight into their busy life in the ITV documentary, Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King.In one episode, Tyson reflected on their

BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty, 47, was left feeling very amused after she and co-host Ben Thompson cut to Morning Live to find out what was on Friday’s show.Presenters Sara Cox and Gethin Jones introduced chef Anna Haugh who would be showing viewers how to cook asparagus in a variety of ways.As the broadcast returned to the Breakfast studio, Naga couldn’t help but poke fun at the segment.She probed: “Sara, Gethin, have you had the conversation about asparagus amongst the team this morning?”Sara swiftly responded with: “Yes we have, thank you Naga.” And Naga asked: “Any no's? The no's always surprise me.”The BBC Radio Two presenter added: “Apparently the no’s are not true, it's just that they can’t smell it.” To which Gethin cheekily chimed in: “I’m a yes.”Naga then exclaimed: “We didn’t ask what you were!”Sara then reposted the clip to her 859,000 Twitter followers, and couldn’t help but make a pun of her own as she called out Naga.She wrote: “As usual Naga being a wee bit mischievous #Asparagus.”Naga promptly responded in the comments, saying: “Have no idea what you mean...” along with a laughing emoji.The presenters were likely referring to the fact that eating asparagus leaves people's urine with a strong smell, however, not everyone is able to detect it.The exchange came as Naga returned to the BBC Breakfast sofa after being absent for two weeks.She had been replaced by the channel’s weekend presenter, Rachel Burden, before her return on Thursday alongside Charlie Stayt.It is likely that Naga took some time off over the Easter break, but that didn’t stop fans being concerned that she had left permanently following the departure of co-stars Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.Naga liked a number of messages on
