Paris Fury has said a nanny once rejected her, having found her children too chaotic to work with.
Paris, 33, is mum to no fewer than seven kids, having welcomed her youngest child with professional boxer husband Tyson in September.
The name the latest addition to their brood – named after Tyson’s late cousin, Rico Burton, who was murdered last year – joined elder siblings Venezuela, 13, Prince John James, 11, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, and Athena, two.

Of course, such a large family doesn’t exactly leave much room for peace and quiet – as one nanny recently found out the hard way when she visited the Furys to see if she fancied the gig.
In her book How Does She Do It? Paris recalled how she was feeling ‘frazzled’ and considered getting someone to help her with childcare.
However, things didn’t go too well when the applicant turned up to the sprawling Morecambe mansion to see the kids in situ.
Paris explained: "At one stage when i was feeling particularly frazzled, I did toy with the idea of employing a nanny.
"My chosen candidate came over to see the children in their home environment one afternoon and within hours she emailed me politely to rule herself out."
She said that, on the day the nanny visited, her children were being particularly chaotic – which she doesn’t think worked in her favour.
"The kids had been especially wild that day, so I could hardly blame her," Paris said.
Thankfully, she added that she’d found a great babysitter to help out when she needed.
The new book sees Paris open up about how she juggles such a large family with work, supporting her husband and finding time for herself.
“Looking after seven children, keeping house, looking amazing, being there for her World Heavyweight husband Tyson, and finding time for herself: this is just a shortlist of what Paris manages,” a synopsis says, adding that, while ‘a lot can go wrong’, Paris ‘takes it all in her stride’.
“She learned her great homemaking skills in her Gypsy childhood and here she shares all about daily life with the big Fury family and what works to keep life running - from shopping, mealtimes and big celebrations, to being ready for the unexpected, handling a crisis, and her tricks for keeping their home clean and uncluttered, as well as warm and welcoming.
“Balancing day-to-day parenting with Tyson alongside his boxing career, she is open about the stresses that go along with all the travel, fun and excitement.”
