HE may be a multi-millionaire boxer, but Tyson Fury isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty.

Wife Paris Fury joked on Instagram that Tyson ‘has a new job’ after cleaning their car with a garden hose while she and daughter Venezuela were inside.

Glamorous Paris playfully poked fun at her husband and said: “Looking good in your new job.”

While the family can certainly afford to pay someone to clean their car for them, Tyson could be seen getting stuck at the car wash.

You can hear Venezuela say, “Go to the K1 car wash.”

After seeing his daughter filming from inside, Tyson playfully sprays the window clean with the pressure hose.

According to Forbes magazine, Tyson’s net worth is estimated at around £50 million.

The sportsman has made his money through his boxing career, his various endorsement deals, his merchandise, fashion collaborations and his own Furocity energy drinks.

However, the family leads a very modest, down-to-earth lifestyle.

Tyson himself said he only needs £10,000 to fund his lifestyle, and they live in a £550,000 Morecambe house and still shop at Poundland and B&M.

Speaking in three parts ITV documentary in 2020, he said: “People say to me, ‘Why don’t you live in California or America?’ – why would I?

‘Why would I abandon my own country for a little money and some fame?

‘I love it. I would never leave Morecambe. It is a true beauty. If the weather were better, every house here would cost a million pounds.’

While many celebrities travel the world and regularly visit luxury locations such as the Maldives and Dubai, Fury rarely ventures outside Morecambe.

He explained: “I’m staying where I am in Morecambe in Lancashire. And I’m happy with it. I don’t have to go anywhere else.

“I’m a normal, modest type of man. I wander around Morecambe and go to the gym and back twice a day.

“And if I go on holiday once a year, great.

“I hate vacations. I can’t stand them when I see them. I’m a workaholic, I love being at work.”

Paris and Tyson are parents from Venezuela, Prince John James, Prince Tyson II, ValenciaPrince Adonis, Athena and baby Prince Rico Paris, who arrived in September.

Speak with OK! magazine, Loose Women star Paris insisted they were conscious of not spoiling their seven children.

She said: “We are doing our best. I want the kids to be grounded and have the normal upbringing that me and Tyson both had.

‘We go to Poundshop and B&M, and I tell them they can’t have certain things.

“I’d be so disappointed if they grew up not knowing the value of anything, so we’ll try.

“But there are times when one of the little ones gets on the plane, turns left into first class and says, ‘Give me a Diet Coke, please!’

“So then we scratch our heads and think we haven’t cracked it.”

Lady Helen Taylor was a paid ambassador and muse of Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani for almost twenty years. Now her youngest son has been hired to help transform the image of a very different clothing label.

I can announce that Cassius Taylor has been recruited by Stone Island, the brand loved by football hooligans.

“I’ve been working with Stone Island on a rebrand for the label,” he tells me at a party in Mayfair.

It’s a fascinating collaboration. Founded in Ravarino in 1982, Stone Island developed a cult-like following among British football supporters who saw its clothing on rival fans when their teams played Italian teams.

The associations with hooliganism were reinforced on the big screen when the outfits were worn by characters in violent films such as Green Street and The Football Factory. More recently, it has become fashionable among American rappers, including Jay-Z and Drake.

Cassius, 27, educated at Wellington College, Berkshire, and Goldsmiths, University of London, is a son of Lady Helen and her husband, the art dealer Timothy Taylor. His grandfather is the Duke of Kent, a first cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth, and his great-great-grandfather was George V.

Cassius came to know Stone Island through his work as a DJ. He tells me: ‘I gave their team input on the British music scene.’

In the past he has said: ‘I always knew that, because of my upbringing, I would somehow end up in the creative industry, just like everyone else in my family.’

Cassius’ mother admitted that she grew tired of wearing only Armani’s muted designs to public events. “There is a limit to the number of navy blue jackets and white shirts you can wear in a year,” she once noted.

Maybe he can give his grandmother, the Duchess of Kent, some Stone Island stuff? The 91-year-old music teacher once revealed that she loved rap music, especially American star Eminem.

Queen of Mean has been laughed at!

The Weakest Link’s former Queen of Mean, Anne Robinson, has set her sights on visitors to the Cotswolds, where she lives.

“I’ve never seen a tourist do anything other than browse – they never buy,” says 79-year-old Robinson, who says her way was blocked by “three very large Germans” at her local delicatessen in Burford, Oxfordshire. ‘I walked past one daughter and the mother, while the other daughter leaned over the cheese display and took pictures.

“Wouldn’t it be better if you bought some cheese instead of just photographing it,” I asked. “I already bought it,” she said. ‘Bought, bought,’ I replied.’ That job in tourism PR can wait, Anne…

Formula 1 heiress Petra Ecclestone was criticized for allowing her 11-year-old daughter, Lavinia, to compete in the Ideal Miss California & West Coast beauty pageant.

Her husband, Sam Palmer, a real estate agent, insists the competition was a sophisticated affair.

“I expected a lot of idiots who couldn’t really talk, and it was the exact opposite,” he says. ‘One of them, who was 17, told me how she enjoyed debating at school. It was lovely to have a conversation.’

Mother pride for Freya and orphan cub

Model Freya Aspinall calls herself a ‘Lion mama’ and she’s clearly not afraid to give her cubs some motherly affection.

Freya, 20, shared a video of herself cuddling Zemo, a lion cub, at her father Damian’s wildlife park in Kent.

“Zemo’s mother died in our shelter when he was just three days old, so we have to hand-raise him and his sister Zala,” she says.

‘I was able to develop a beautiful, completely natural bond with him.’

Meanwhile, Freya’s mother, actress Donna Air, isn’t concerned about her close relationship with wild animals. “They’re more afraid of her,” she tells me.

The £1.2million murder of disco star Sophie

Life, the old saying goes, begins at age 40. And then, at the age of 44, it goes into joyful, crazy overdrive – that is, if you’re Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who gave a breathtaking performance at the Baftas this week.

And why wouldn’t she? The singer reprized Murder On The Dancefloor, her 2001 hit that is now delighting a new generation of fans, thanks to its use in the climactic scenes of Saltburn, the second film directed by Oscar winner Emerald Fennell.

Sophie can afford to keep the party going: newly published figures show her live music company DV Touring raked in £1.2 million last year and made a profit of £342,000 – a figure likely to be dwarfed by 2024.

He has to survive on £144,649 a year as Leader of the Opposition, but Sir Keir Starmer didn’t have to part with a penny when he scored a pair of tickets to see his beloved Arsenal play at West Ham a few weeks ago. .

Not only were the tickets free – courtesy of West Ham, whose main shareholders include publisher David Sullivan and Vanessa Gold, head of the Ann Summers sex shop chain – but so was the ‘pre-match hospitality’ in the Chairman’s Lounge .

Starmer estimates in the membership register of financial interests that the prank would have cost him £2,000 if he had had to cough up. A victory by any reckoning.

The fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, which currently houses the statue of an African revolutionary who urged his followers to kill whites, should instead be used to honor the late actor Lord Olivier, says Hollywood villain Steven Berkoff.

“I imagine a statue of Laurence Oliver sitting on his prancing horse, as he did in his brilliant film of Henry V,” says Berkoff. ‘Olivier was not only praised for his acting, but taught many generations of young people the meaning and value of Shakespeare’s language. Moreover, his energy and bravado eventually convinced a reluctant government to build a national theater.’

MOHAMED SALAH faces an awkward encounter following Eygpt's decision to hire Hossam Hassan.

The Pharaohs hired the national legend to replace Rui Vitoria after their departure from Afcon.

Egypt were eliminated from Afcon in the last 16 after a shock defeat to DR Congo.

Salah, 31, has wished the Portuguese manager well on social media following his departure.

He wrote: “Thanks for everything, coach. I wish you the best in the future.”

Victoria's departure came as a bit of a surprise as he had only lost one match during his time in charge.

While it appears that Salah had a good relationship with the former Benfica and Al-Nassr boss, it is likely that there could be some friction with his replacement.

Hassan, 57, was hired by the Pharaohs as technical director but will move into the role of manager.

The former striker is a legend for Egypt as he has scored 68 goals and is the all-time top scorer, with Salah trailing him 12 times.

During Afcon he worked as a pundit and was unimpressed with Salah's decision to return to Liverpool.

The striker had suffered a hamstring injury against Ghana and returned to Merseyside for rehabilitation.

Hassan said: “If Salah feels he wants to travel, he should travel and not return to the national team because the injury is not serious; he needs physiotherapy which is available with the national team.

“A hamstring injury does not require extensive facilities in Liverpool.

“Big clubs always send doctors and physiotherapists with top players to these tournaments, and in Liverpool they know that if Salah needs something, they will send doctors to him.

“Salah, despite his great value, should remain with the national team both morally and psychologically.

“It affects other teams that he can join at any time, but his departure will affect Egypt negatively and the opponents positively.”

This is not the first managerial problem Salah has faced recently, with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp announcing he would be stepping down at the end of the season.

Hassan, a three-time Afcon winner as a player, continued to reveal how he would handle the situation.

He added: “If I was the manager of Egypt and he told me he wanted to travel to Liverpool, I would tell him to continue there and we have capable men in the national team.

“Salah is one of the best individuals to achieve globally for Egypt, but the national team is a common thread for everyone.

“Even if you are injured and cannot play, you play an important role from both a technical and moral perspective.”

Salah will make a decision on his international future after Hassan's arrival, especially if the environment is not inviting.

This year's tournament has seen a number of other shock eliminations, with the likes of Senegal, Cameroon and Morocco all suffering early exits.

DR Congo was one of the surprise teams to reach the semi-finals against host country Ivory Coast.

Star player and former West Ham defender Arthur Masuaku scored a stunning free-kick in the quarter-final.

Cape Verde also punched above their weight before being knocked out by South Africa in the quarter-finals after a dramatic penalty shootout.

SUNDERLAND co-owner Juan Sartori has brutally blasted Roy Keane over why they have not appointed him as manager in 2022.

As he languished in League One following the sacking of Lee Johnson, there was a huge clamor on Wearside to bring Keane back to the Stadium of Light.

The Irishman, 52, managed the Black Cats between 2006 and 2008, taking Sunderland from 23rd in the Championship to the Premier League.

He then had an unsuccessful spell at Ipswich before coaching with the Republic of Ireland, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.

Keane held interviews for the vacant Sunderland job but said at the time: “The deal has to be good for everyone.

“It didn't fall into place last week. It wasn't intentional.

“Everything has to be right: the right challenge, the right contract. You have to be looking forward to it.”

However, Sartori – who has a 36 per cent stake in the Mackems alongside Kyril Louis-Dreyfus – revealed why they rejected Keane.

This Tuesday sees the release of the third season of the smash Netflix hit Sunderland 'Til I Die, chronicling their promotion to the Championship during the 2021-2022 campaign after four years in the third tier.

On the Keane question, Sartori said: “Roy Keane would have been nice.

“It certainly would have been good for the Netflix series, but we might have had a third season with disastrous results!”

Alex Neil took the job instead and led Sunderland to a play-off final victory over Wycombe.

Princess Charlene of Monaco celebrates her 46th birthday today, but in light of recent revelations about the royal family's spending habits, celebrations are likely to be quieter than planned.

The former Olympic swimmer has been back on the royal front line in recent months and appears to have put her health problems and rumored marital problems behind her.

In a recent magazine interview with Monaco Matin, the princess said she felt “serene and happy.”

Claims this week by a former royal accountant to Monegasque households about the spending habits of the South African-born royal family are likely to have put any major party plans on hold.

Claude Palmero, 67, was in charge of the palace's finances for more than two decades but resigned in July after being targeted by an anti-corruption website.

He claimed Princess Charlene hired illegal immigrants for less than £90 a day, while her personal expenses allowance skyrocketed to more than £1 million a year.

The claims are the latest blow to Prince Albert and his wife, who have had a tumultuous few years.

In September, Charlene dismissed the rumors of marital problems – which predated her marriage to Albert in 2011 – as “exhausting.”

Before their wedding, the French media dubbed her the “runaway bride” for allegedly trying to flee Monaco before the ceremony (which she later dismissed as “categorical lies”).

Perhaps it was the fact that they seemed an unlikely combination: the statuesque South African Olympian and the Mediterranean royal who, despite being Grace Kelly's son, manages to look like a staid accountant.

Yet Zimbabwean-born Charlene Wittstock has said the connection was immediate when she met the scion of the Grimaldi family at a swimming competition in Monte Carlo in 2000.

“I was 22 and focused,” Charlene, who competed in the Sydney Olympics that same year, told Tatler magazine.

'I wasn't in an emotional position for a relationship. But from the moment I met Albert, I felt a deep sense of destiny.

'I once said that I felt weak at my knees. That's a bit of a corny way of putting it, but it's true: I knew he was the one.”

Six years later, the pair made their debut as a couple at the opening ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics, and four years later they were engaged.

But what should have been a happy time was overshadowed by the prince's complicated private life.

In May 2005, Air France flight attendant Nicole Coste claimed that Albert was the father of her son Alexandre, who was born in 2003, three years after the prince met Charlene.

He acknowledged paternity after a DNA test.

In 2006, he subsequently admitted that he was the father of a daughter, Jazmin Grace, after DNA testing, thanks to an affair with her American mother.

Rumors of a third love child circulated in the run-up to the wedding, amid reports that Charlene had tried to leave Monaco three times (she later dismissed the speculation as 'categorical lies').

However, all issues were seemingly resolved in time for their £53 million three-day wedding, which included a religious ceremony in the courtyard of Monaco's Prince's Palace and a concert by The Eagles.

Charlene wore a custom off-the-shoulder creation by Giorgio Armani Prive, embroidered with 40,000 Swarovski crystals, 20,000 pearl drops and 30,000 gold stones in a floral design. It took three seamstresses 2,500 hours to make it.

Photos showed the royal bride in tears, which Charlene later said was because the day had been “overwhelming.”

“There were all mixed emotions because of the rumors and the tension was definitely building and I burst into tears (immediately after the ceremony),” she reflected.

'And then I burst into tears again because I thought, “Oh no, now the whole world has seen me cry.”

But speculation about the wedding continued after it emerged Charlene and Albert spent the first night of their honeymoon in South Africa in separate hotels 10 miles apart.

Apparently the prince had a conference to attend early the next morning and he didn't want to get stuck in traffic.

Still, rumors of their breakup reached a fever pitch in 2021, when complications from a sinus infection that required several surgeries left Charlene stranded in South Africa for 10 months.

Albert turned to the media to correct the misunderstandings surrounding their divorce.'

She didn't leave Monaco on a high,” he told People magazine.

“She didn't leave because she was angry with me or anyone else. She went to South Africa to reassess her Foundation's work there and take some time off with her brother and some friends.”

He added: 'It was only intended to be a stay of one week and a maximum of ten days, and [she is still there now] because she had this infection, all these medical complications arose.”

Charlene eventually returned to Europe in November 2021, but was still ill. She had to undergo further treatment at an undisclosed facility outside Monaco, fueling further rumors that the couple were living apart.

But in 2022, Charlene seemed to be on the road to recovery, even venturing into public appearances and releasing a photo in honor of her 11th wedding anniversary with Albert.

On December 15, 2022, Charlene told Monaco Matin newspaper that she felt “much better” and had “much more energy.”

Prince Albert also praised his wife for “turning things around in an incredible way” after her “very tough year”.

Now firmly in the clutches of Monaco's high society, Charlene no longer takes anything for granted.

“My family and those I love are my rock,” she says. 'I approach the future, step by step, day by day.'

A month after succeeding to the throne aged 47 in 2005, Albert was in for a shock as one of his closely kept secrets was about to be revealed to the world.

For few knew, the prince had enjoyed a secret six-year relationship with a glamorous ex-Air France attendant who had also given birth to his son around 18 months earlier, in 2003.

The relationship between Nicole Coste and the Prince began following a chance encounter on a flight from Nice to Paris in 1997.

Albert was said to have been ‘enchanted’ by the flight attendant who served him champagne.

‘The strange thing is that I wasn’t even supposed to be on the flight,’ Nicole told the Mail on Sunday in 2014. ‘I was on standby that day and was filling in for a colleague.

‘I always served in First Class so I was accustomed to dealing with VIPs. When I saw Albert our eyes met and I knew this was different. There was definitely an aura around him and we hit it off immediately.

‘I found him attractive with a twinkle in his eye. He asked for my number. I didn’t write it on a napkin but on proper paper from the First Class cabin. I think he knew I wasn’t intimidated by him, that I felt comfortable in his presence.’

Albert would later call and ask her to come to Monaco for the weekend. Although flattered by the attention Nicole was determined not to be ‘a plaything’.

‘I was determined that we wouldn’t make love until we got to know each other better. Albert respected that. I was no gold-digger. If anything, I bought him gifts,’ she said.

Their liaison became the best-kept secret among Monaco society. Although they both attended red carpet events and mixed with socialites and celebrities, the majority of Albert’s subjects knew nothing of the relationship.

‘It is not my fault I fell in love with a prince,’ Nicole said.

But the relationship petered out and in its final days, Nicole discovered she was pregnant. ‘When I broke the news to Albert he was fine about it,’ she said.

When their son – who would be named Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste – was born, Albert provided financial allowance and moved mother and son into an exquisite villa on the French Riviera.

But ‘fed up of being a secret’, a month after the death of Prince Albert’s father Prince Rainier, Nicole gave an explosive tell-all interview to French magazine Paris Match, revealing her then two-year-old son was Albert’s sparking a royal scandal. 

Prince Albert was, at the time, said to be outraged by his former lover’s public declaration. Nonetheless, he went on to give his own televised interview in which he formally acknowledged that Alexandre was his son having taken a DNA test.

He decreed that his illegitimate son would not inherit the throne but vowed that Alexandre would be cared for financially.

The Prince told the New York Times in 2005 that the ordeal ‘was a very difficult moment for me.’

Nicole went on to be a fashion designer and open her own a boutique in Knightsbridge, London.

Despite the furore, Prince Albert and Nicole, now 51, have remained friends, with the pair appearing at the same charity event in recent years.

But if this revelation had been testing for the Prince, he was about to be hit with another public baby bombshell.

Tamara Rotolo – the Californian waitress and the actress daughter

A year after revealing he had fathered Alexandre, Prince Albert was forced to confess he also had a daughter named Jazmin Grace Grimaldi.

She was the result of an affair with Tamara Rotolo, a waitress turned American estate agent.

According to Tamara, she met Prince Albert while holidaying on the Cote D’Azur in 1991. They enjoyed a two-week fling which resulted in the birth of Jazmin Grace in 1992, but the baby was kept secret from the public.

A friend of Tamara’s said in 2005: ‘Tamara was from a very ordinary, working-class background and had decided to go on one big holiday to Monaco. Albert was quite infatuated with her.

‘They were together pretty much every day and night and, after her two weeks were up, he asked her to stay on. ‘She told him, “I have to get back to my job”. This was reality-check time.

‘To her surprise, Albert did not forget her. He kept in touch by phone and she could contact him in a heart- beat, wherever he was in the world. The wall came down after Prince Rainier found out.

‘All contact was cut off. First she was hurt, then she got mad and decided to go to court.’

In 1993, a judge ordered Albert to provide a blood sample to settle the paternity case. But Albert’s high-powered attorneys went back to court to argue that California law had no power to order the sample. A judge agreed and ruled that the case could not go to trial. 

Albert neither confirmed nor denied that he was Jazmin’s father. He acknowledged in court papers: ‘I was briefly acquainted with the plaintiff when she was on vacation in Monaco in July 1991.’

But the death of Prince Rainier more than ten years later, coupled with Nicole’s revelation, proved to be the catalyst for fresh negotiations for lawyers and, in the summer of 2006, a year after the first love child bombshell, Prince Albert formally recognised Jazmin as his daughter.

A royal spokesman said at the time: ‘We can assure everyone that there are no more hidden children. This is the last one.’

Both children now carry the Grimaldi name, and while they can never accede to the throne they will be able to make a financial claim when he dies.

Talking about meeting her father for the first time when she was 11, Jazmin said in 2015: ‘I wanted that moment to connect with my father, to get to know him, and to have him get to know me.

‘Not having had that figure around, I missed that. It’s wonderful that it happened when it did, and we’ve been enjoying a great relationship ever since.’

Jazmin, now 31 and an actress, revealed her close relationship with her half-brother Alexandre as she marked his 18th birthday in a sweet Instagram post.

She shared a series of Instagram posts from his birthday party in 2021, writing: ‘It’s a celebration. Happy birthday my little brother Alexandre!’

And last year, Prince Albert posed with his two children by former lovers for the first time.

The extraordinary picture, taken in New York, was shared online by his ex, Nicole. Wearing an open-necked shirt, the Prince has his arm around Jazmin who had her arm around Alexandre.

Charlene – the Olympic champion who tamed the playboy prince

It would be in 2000 that Albert first met swimmer Charlene Wittstock in Monaco where she was representing South Africa and would go on to win gold.

But no one was expecting a romance to blossom.

Their lives were very different. Sports-mad Charlene was 20 years his junior. Her father Michael was a photocopier salesman, and her mother Lynette a competitive diver.

But the pair allowed their relationship to develop slowly outside the public eye, and they did not make a public appearance until February 2006.

The occasion was the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. French journalist Philippe Delorme said at the time: ‘She was on his arm for the entire ceremony and they made no attempt to hide their affection for each other, sharing kisses and other tender gestures.’

Then, in June 2010, their engagement was announced. Albert proposed with a pear-cut diamond ring.

‘People could hardly believe it,’ Delorme added. ‘For four years, since they had first been seen together, the Monegasques had been holding their breath.’

Charlene was required to convert to Catholicism — she was raised a Protestant — and had to learn both French and the Monegasque dialect.

Delorme told the Daily Mail in 2011 that Albert finally meeting someone was a tale of Hollywood proportions: ‘If the Princess Grace story was a movie, then Princess Charlene is the remake.

‘The reality is that Albert is 52, a bit overweight, and much less fabulous and glamorous than his father was.

‘It feels a bit like a love story of an old man and a young woman rather than a story of two young lovers.’

In her first interview after the royal wedding was announced, Charlene spoke of the challenges she faced making the transition from the life of an athlete to that of a future royal bride.

And she admitted to experiencing ‘jealousy’ among some members of Monaco’s social elite.

‘The people I mixed with in Monaco didn’t relate to my South African mentality or humour,’ she told Tatler.

‘Of course I’ve been subject to jealousy, but that comes with the territory. Although I have met some wonderful people since I’ve been living in Monaco, I regard them all as acquaintances. I only have two people I consider friends here.’

Meanwhile, comparisons between Princess Grace and Charlene were widespread, with the well-heeled citizens of Monaco hoping the next Princess will bring back some of the vitality and glamour of her predecessor.

The runaway bride?

It was set to be the wedding of the year that threatened to put Kate and Prince William’s nuptials a few months earlier in the shade.

But days before the big day, rumours began to circulate that Charlene had tried to flee the country on three occasions with a one-way ticket to Johannesburg.

A Parisian news magazine reported that Charlene had been stopped at Nice airport after allegedly learning a ‘distressing’ revelation about her future husband’s private life.

A senior Monaco detective claimed at the time: ‘Charlene had her passport confiscated so that the Prince’s entourage could persuade her to stay’.

The rumour mill in France went into overdrive. Charlene had, it was suggested, heard talk of another illegitimate child, conceived when she was dating Prince Albert in 2005, and who would bring his tally of children born out of wedlock to three.

But the Princess would go on to dismiss the ‘hilarious’ rumours.

She said: ‘Why would he go through all this effort to have our dearest friends come join us, for us to be reluctant?’Prince Albert added: ‘My family have long been the subject of rumours born out of jealousy.’
