He’s fighting to clear his name after being accused of hiding assets during his bankruptcy proceedings.

But Boris Becker appeared to shrug off his money worries as he showed up for a day of fun at an outdoor adventure course driving a new Mercedes C-class.

The former tennis ace, 52, was spotted arriving at Go Ape in London in the vehicle – which costs around £40,000 – for an afternoon out with girlfriend Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro. 

Despite currently standing trial at Southwark Crown Court, accused of failing to declare assets during his insolvency proceedings, Becker seemed in good spirits as he watched his other half get active.

The German sportsman, who is thought to live in a £5million penthouse by the Thames, looked on as Miss de Carvalho Monteiro put on a harness and flew down a zip wire as part of the adventure course.

Looking casual in blue jeans, a grey zip-up hoodie and a baseball cap, Becker took photos and videos of his other half, who was wearing black gym gear, but didn’t get involved himself.

The pair, who were first pictured together earlier this year, held hands as they walked back through the park and jumped back into Becker’s car.

A new Mercedes C-class C220d starts at £36,855 but some versions of the model cost up to £46,000. Additions can be made to the car – including technology to assist the driver and upgraded upholstery and tyres – which can push up the price by thousands.

Becker used to be a brand ambassador for Mercedes-Benz, but is thought to have parted ways with the car maker in 2014.

Last year he was given a six-month ban after he was caught speeding twice in four months.

In July Becker and Miss de Carvalho Monteiro, a political risk analyst thought to be in her early 30s, enjoyed a holiday in Ibiza with friends including fellow tennis champion Bjorn Borg.

Becker moved out of his Wimbledon home following his acrimonious 2018 split from model Lilly Becker, 43, after nine years of marriage. He is now thought to live in a penthouse overlooking the Thames at Battersea.

He has said he is determined to clear his name after being accused of failing to disclose financial information and assets including Olympic gold medals during his bankruptcy proceedings. He has denied the charges.
