Mock the Week and a yogurt from the fridge – Murray’s recipe for relaxation
YOGURT is Andy Murray’s favourite food when he gets home from a tournament, the tennis star has revealed.
He told the BBC: “One of the things that’s great about travelling is you get to try new food, but there’s nothing like coming home and being able to eat the things you really love.
“When I get back from a trip away, the first things I look for in the fridge are these fruit yoghurts.
“They’re lactose-free, but that’s not why I eat them – I just love the taste.”
Murray said he sometimes bought food home, but wife Kim Sears’ mother Leonore did the shopping last time.
He said: “Sometimes I’ll pick stuff up on my way home, but my mother-in-law was the last one to go to the supermarket when she stayed with us for a few days. She went out and got a few things, so the fridge is well stocked.”
The player said that he relaxed by watching comedy panel shows and Premier League football on TV, but revealed not all of his wife’s favourite programmes are to his taste.
He said: “Mock the Week has started again, so I watched the first episode last week and the other day I saw there were a bunch of Christmas specials on.
“Strange time of year for them, but I love the show, so I was pretty happy.
“The new series is always on around this time of year though, and I enjoy watching that.
“There aren’t too many arguments over the remote control because we both watch Mock the Week, but other than that I don’t really watch loads of TV, especially now the Premier League has finished for the season.
“Kim watches Game of Thrones but I saw the first episode and couldn’t get into it. Some of the scenes in that first episode were full-on.”
