This Morning viewers gush over Tyson Fury for the sweetest reason

Tyson Fury declared "the king has returned to the top" as he claimed the WBC heavyweight title in his Las Vegas showdown last month.

But despite his latest incredible achievement, This Morning viewers are gushing over the champion boxer for a different reason.

The 31-year-old, who emerged the winner during his rematch with Deontay Wilder, appeared on the ITV show to be interviewed by hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

He was joined by his wife Paris who has also starred in Tyson's three-part ITV docu-series Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King.

And while the chat was all about his return to the top, fans couldn't help comment on the childhood sweethearts.

"I couldn't love @Tyson_Fury and @parisfury1 anymore, so understated on how influential they are a power couple #ThisMorning," tweeted another.

A third added: "Tyson & Paris Fury , salt of the earth , lovely genuine couple #ThisMorning."

"I flipping love Tyson and Paris Fury. What a lovely genuine couple. #ThisMorning," said a fourth.

A final comment praised: "The more I see of @Tyson_Fury & Paris, The more in awe I am - not only are they couple goals, they are genuinely nice people. The fact he's a fellow #bipolar sufferer & speaks openly about it,is the cherry on the cake for me."

Tyson, who grew up in Wythenshawe, and Paris began dating when the boxer was 17. The couple married in Paris' hometown of Doncaster in 2008 in front of a few hundred guests.

They have since welcomed five children -  three boys Prince John James, Prince Tyson Fury II and Prince Adonis Amaziah and two girls Venezuela and Valencia Amber.

The couple melted have already melted the heart of ITV viewers - within minutes of their documentary series airing last month.

In early scenes, Tyson was seen looking through a cardboard box which he said contained the "heirlooms of our relationship".

It included love letters, a cinema ticket from the first date and giant lollipops they bought for eachother.

This Morning airs weekdays on ITV from 10am. The final episode of Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King airs on Thursday at 9pm on ITV.
