BORIS Becker’s estranged wife and a former fiancee have served up the inside story of his rollercoaster life, saying he needs fame “like a drug”. 

They have spoken in a new ITV series about the tennis star who ended up in jail just four miles from the scene of his greatest triumph – winning Wimbledon at 17 in 1985.

The German married model Barbara Feltus in 1993 and they had two children.

They divorced in 2001 shortly after Becker had sex with a waitress at a London restaurant, which resulted in the birth of a girl.
