CHRIS EUBANK SR’S only Christmas present as a child was a trumpet.
The boxing icon made the revelation during a hilarious new KFC advert in which the 54-year-old starred.

Eubank only tasted the famous chicken for the first time earlier this year and was blown away.
And the bizarre partnership has led to the former champ starring in a Christmas ad for The Colonel.
The video starts with Eubank singing jingle bells in his trademark soft voice before he starts dancing and asking his companion: “What do you know about Charades?”
He is dressed in a vintage Eubank beige tartan suit with shiny turquoise leather boots on.
KFC superfan Stevo the Madman arrives at Eubank’s door and is ushered inside the elaborate gaffe before the real fun begins.
Eubank leads Stevo into a plush stately dining room prompting a stunned reaction from his guest.
And he then reveals they will be eating the new KFC Gravy Burger Box meal for Christmas dinner before Stevo asks him about his favourite ever present.
Eubank replies: “Probably my first present which was a trumpet. I got that when I was about eight.

And he also revealed the only Christmas present he ever got as a kid was a trumpet
“Then it was special because it was the only Christmas present I ever got.
“Now that sounds sad. I’m trying to be funny about it but it’s probably not funny to people who are listening.
“But that’s how we came up. Deprivation and poverty, that drove me to become the character you see now.”
Eubank then proceeds to drink Tango as if it is wine before getting involved in an elaborate game of Charades.
Last month, Eubank Sr quashed suggestions he was going to come out of retirement – a la Mike Tyson – because he is ‘studying dinosaurs and Shakespeare’.
He also hit headlines in September when he rushed to save a woman who had been hit by a car with fellow ex-boxer David Haye.
