Boris Becker faces years in prison

Jailed former tennis star Boris Becker is likely to be deported after being released from prison.

The ex world champion, 54, is serving a sentence of two-and-a-half years for hiding £2.5m worth of assets to avoid paying up on them after bankruptcy.

According to the Times, a Home Office source said he is eligible for deportation because he does not have British citizenship, and is a foreign national serving a term of more than 12 months.

He could also appeal the deportation.
