Gymnastics show 'Tumble' postponing Carl Froch's sex life

IBF and WBA super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has admitted that competing in BBC One reality show Tumble has forced him to put his sex life on hold.

The 37-year-old, who proposed to his girlfriend Rachael Cordingley after beating George Groves at Wembley in May, made his first appearance on the gymnastics-inspired show on Saturday night.

"I'm on a bit of a drought at the minute," Froch told the Daily Star. "My life is all about gymnastics. So it'll be nice to get back to normal life when it's all over.

"Usually when I'm ­training so hard, running in the morning, ­starving myself on my diet and I'm injured, the last thing I want to do at night is fool around with Rachael, honestly, because I'm exhausted."

The couple are parents to a son Rocco and daughter Natalia.
