Tyson Fury hits out at 'bulls**t' Netflix show about his family
Tyson Fury has slammed his hit Netflix reality show, branding it as 'bulls**t'.
The 35-year-old offered fans a unique insight into life behind closed doors of the heavyweight champion with the streaming platform's At Home With The Furys, which first hit our screens last month.
The official Netflix premise for the massively popular docu-series show reads: "Following the heavyweight champion as he exits the ring and tries to embrace retirement with his family including his wife, Paris, father, John, and his six children."

As well as focusing on Tyson and Paris' family life, who have just welcomed their seventh child, viewers can also see Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague before the birth of their daughter as the two prepared to become first-time parents.
But despite its success, Fury has since dubbed the Netflix programme as 'bulls**t' and explained exactly why he had issues with the crew not filming 'the whole reality'.
Yesterday (18 September), the boxing champion appeared on an episode of Sundae Conversation with Caleb Pressley and revealed: "Netflix didn't want to film the whole reality."
Fury continued: "(It's) proper bulls**t. I said you need to film me taking a s**t, you need to film me having a shower, you need to film me in the bath and they said, 'Nope, can't do it'."
A somewhat peculiar request, but hey ho.
At Home With The Furys also revealed the location of the heavyweight's family home but it's clear the idea of potential trespassers or hyper keen fans weren't an issue to him.
"Everybody's welcome," the father-of-seven joked, "have a free-for-all, take everything I've got because it's insured and I can get it new... [I'm] stinking rich."
While the show has clearly proven to have gone down a treat with fans, the much-anticipated series nearly didn't happen as Fury at one point wanted to halt production during filming, believing letting the cameras in was a 'mistake'.
Speaking on Capital XTRA Breakfast with Robert Bruce and Shayna Marie, The Gypsy King admitted to consulting lawyers during the filming process to find out whether he could break free from the contract he signed with Netflix.
"Yeah I wanted out," Fury explained, "I was like, couple of weeks in I said 'Is there any way?', I'd be on the phone with my lawyers 'Is there any way I can get out of this?'
"I don't know what I've signed up for again. I never said I'd do it again, I've done it again, I've made a mistake."
At Home with the Furys is available to stream now on Netflix.
