Andy Murray braves his hangover to appear on live TV less than 24 hours after Wimbledon victory
Tennis ace reveals he partied for 'most of the night' following his historic centre court victory
ANDY Murray battled a raging hangover today to make an appearance on live TV after partying for "most of the night" after his historic Wimbledon victory yesterday.
The sports star won the Mens Singles final for the second time, and celebrated by hitting the town with his wife Kim Sears.
The Scotsman reveals Kim's mum generously offered to babysit the couple's young daughter Sophia so they could celebrate the victory over Candian Milos Raonic at the post-match Champions Dinner.
They went on to toast the tennis star's trophy with a night out at trendy London nightclub Drama, and they were both pictured looking worse for wear as they exited the venue in the early hours of this morning.
However, Andy refused to let his hangover get in the way of his busy day - and put on a brave face to appear on Loose Women at lunchtime.
The tennis champion was interview via video link, and gave the panellists a glimpse into his heavy night of partying.
