BORIS BECKER has been freed from prison after serving just eight months of his sentence, and now faces deportation from Britain.

The three-time Wimbledon champion was jailed for two-and-a-half years in April for hiding £2.5 million of assets and loans to avoid paying his debts.

The former world number one and BBC commentator was declared bankrupt on June 21, 2017 — owing creditors almost £50m — over an unpaid loan of more than £3m on his estate in Majorca.

The 55-year-old German, who has lived in Britain since 2012, was expected to serve half of his sentence behind bars but was released yesterday morning and is due on a flight to be deported, the PA news agency reported.

He is thought to have been transferred to a lower-security jail for foreign criminals awaiting deportation in May, Category C Huntercombe Prison near Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire, after previously reportedly being held at Category B Wandsworth Prison in south-west London.

The six-time grand slam champion qualified for automatic deportation because he is a foreign national who does not have British citizenship and received a custodial sentence of more than 12 months.
