Paris Fury has said that she was ‘dreading’ a certain point in her new docu-series with her husband Tyson Fury, when she believed that she comes out ‘very awful’.
At Home With the Furys, a nine-episode Netflix series, takes fans behind the scenes of the couple’s hectic existence, from their six children at home to the boxer’s retraction of his retirement.
The show also features Tyson’s brother Tommy Fury and his now-fiancée Molly-Mae Hague, who disclose they’re having a child together before welcoming their daughter Bambi in January of this year.
During a recent interview, Tyson, 35, and Paris, 33, were questioned about a specific time during shooting when the heavyweight champion contacted his father, John Fury, 59, and asked if he fancied a last-minute trip to Pompeii.
When Paris learned of her husband’s plans, she persuaded him to take her instead, resulting in Tyson falsely telling his father – who had already packed his luggage – that all flights had been cancelled.
When asked about that whole saga, Paris instantly recoiled at the memory, exclaiming: ‘I am so dreading that. I’m dreading this. I think I come out pretty bad.’
Meanwhile, Tyson added that there was a silver lining to the story… as they did eventually manage to travel to Pompeii earlier this year.
‘The only bonus to it. We have been this year, early April, we went to Pompeii,’ he shared.
‘So we actually did it, and I’m glad we didn’t do it on the series because it wasn’t what I expected it to be. Although it was fantastic, but it just wasn’t what we were expecting.’
During the episode in question, Tyson acknowledges to the camera that his ‘worst quality’ is how ‘spur-of-the-moment’ he is, explaining that he’s ‘very spontaneous when it comes to doing anything’.
The boxer outlines how he’s always wanted to visit the ancient ruins of Pompeii after the city in Italy was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD… and so he instantly calls up his dad to ask if he fancies going on holiday with him the following day.
John assures his son that he will be ready, before admitting to the camera that Tyson ‘changes his mind so much’ that he says yes’straight immediately’ to every proposition made to him.
‘I’ll hold you to it, you know. Don’t tell me lies – if you’re not going, say,’ John tells Tyson over the phone.
‘I’m not telling you lies, I’ll have a look for some flights,’ Tyson promises.
When Paris returns home and learns what Tyson has suggested to his father, she is less than happy.
‘How long have I said I wanted to go to Pompeii?’ she says to her husband. ‘Five years, six years. And you was going to go without me. I can’t believe you picked your dad over me in the first place.’
As a result, Tyson changes tactics and calls his father, telling him that all flights from Manchester to Pompeii have been cancelled.
‘I don’t feel guilty that my dad’s not going to Pompeii now. I’ll pretend the flights are cancelled. He’ll never know anything about it,’ Tyson says… while John is shown packing up his stuff and putting his suitcase in his car, all ready to go.
‘Can’t wait to get on that plane, tell you the truth,’ he shares, before being given any indication that the trip isn’t on.
Calling up his dad, Tyson informs him: ‘Right, got some bad news. We’re not going. The flights have been cancelled from Manchester. Typical innit?’
While a clearly disappointed John tells his son that there’s ‘nothing you can do’, he then adds: ‘That is sickening. Rushing around, getting ready, doing this, that and the other. All packed, my bags are in the car. Then a late phone call, we’re not going.’
After finishing their call, John confesses that he is annoyed with Tyson and ‘gutted’ to no longer be doing the trip, but ‘that’s what he does’.
‘He’ll ring up one minute, “It’s on,” and then, “It’s not.” Bit gutted you know. Cause I build myself up, rush around 100 miles an hour, getting stuff done, and all of a sudden you’re not going,’ he states.
In the end, it turns out that there were no flights going to Pompeii anyway. Go figure!
‘Nothing’s ever booked,’ Paris says during the episode. ‘Anything we ever book, we don’t get to go on. I’d say nine times out of 10 if we book something, more than three days in advance, we don’t go. And I really do think that comes down to Tyson.
‘I think that comes down to his… he’s bipolar. I’m starting to become more active with the word because I know it’s what triggers it.’
Paris adds that she ‘just rolls with it’, because it ‘gets them nowhere’ if she argues.
‘I’ve learnt to live with that side of things, and our last-minute holidays are always the best,’ she says.
At Home With The Furys is available to watch on Netflix.
