34-year-old Tyson is well known for his deep voice but he and his wife, 33-year-old Paris, have revealed it did not always sound like that.

In an interview with Fluer East and James Barr on Hits Radio UK, Tyson said: “I didn't always used to have this voice" as Paris elaborated: "No, he used to have a soft voice, he used to sound like real, like delicate. He used to be able to sing real high-noted songs.”

As the two presenters continue to express shock, Paris then jokes "They sound like generators, GRRR!"

In defence, Tyson said: "A lot of people find it sexy, this voice, GRRR"
