Dad Bernie leaves nappies to wife

BERNIE Ecclestone has said that he does not change his newborn son’s nappies because “that’s what wives are for”.

The former Formula One chief, 89, also told ITV’s This Morning that he did not want to be in the room while his wife Fabiana Flosi was in labour.

“I don’t know what there is to see,” he said. “I’d rather watch a video.”

When asked whether he helps out with looking after the baby, he said: “I do whatever’s necessary when it is necessary.” However, after he was asked whether this extends to changing nappies and doing night-time feeds, he replied: “No. That’s what wives are for.”

Flosi , 44, told the programme that Ecclestone does lend a hand at home, saying: “He helps and he looks after him.

“He is a special person, we are super happy.”

He also discussed his views on age during the interview, saying: “I think you are as old as you want to be, or as old as you think you are.”
