Boris Becker Announces Wedding Plans On Game Show

While appearing on a German TV game show featuring fellow guest Jennifer Aniston, tennis champ Boris Becker announced plans to marry his Dutch-model girlfriend.

Becker, 41, made the surprise proclamation on the show "You Bet…?", and the six-time Grand Slam singles champ proceeded to leap through a flaming heart of fire.

The news organization says that Becker and his girlfriend, model Lilly Kerssenberg, split up toward the end 2007, and Becker then got engaged to a jewelry designer just a few months later.

"Last summer I went a bit off track but Lilly took me back", Becker explained on the TV show. "Now I don't want to let her go".

The wedding will take place this June at a resort in the Swiss Alps.
