In 2018, it was revealed he had become a grandad to Nicola’s daughter Olivia and Rachel’s daughter Amaya, in the space of 12 weeks. 

Frank’s family insight comes after a brave interview he did with Fern Britton resurfaced on BBC today.

The boxer discussed his life from a schoolboy to a world heavyweight boxing champion.

He also candidly opened up about his battle with bipolar disorder.

First aired in 2012, the father-of-four admitted the biggest fight he had ever faced was with his mental health.

In 2018, he revealed that he hadn’t needed to take medication for three years after turning to fitness in a bid to improve his health.

Viewers took to Twitter today to praise him for his bravery.

One wrote: “I don’t normally watch TV on a Sunday morning but just watched Frank Bruno being interviewed.

“Really happy to see him and such an honest and personal account of his life.

“He has been through immense personal MH struggles, his laugh OMG how infectious it is.”

Another wrote: “Just watched Fern Britton meets Frank Bruno.

“What a brave and national hero you are @frankbrunoboxer it was a great watch and very inspiring as always with big Frank.”
