In the run-up to The Homecoming Sky One will give us unique insight into the real Ricky Hatton.

At Home With The Hattons is the fly-on-the-wall documentary that will take you behind the scenes with one of the best boxers in the world as he prepares for his comeback fight.

The cameras will still be rolling as he takes on Juan Lazcano and next week, The Fightback will bring all the behind-the-scenes footage from the City of Manchester Stadium.

Before that though on At Home With The Hattons, you will see Ricky relaxing with his son Campbell and girlfriend Jennifer, mum Carol and dad Ray as well as brother Matthew and his family.

And if you thought the Hitman was fiersome, wait until you see his legendary two Grans, both of them never short of a word and both of them still able to scare the best light-welterweight in the world.

There will also be shots from the gym where Ricky, Billy Graham and Kerry Kayes are never short of a joke in amongst all the hard work - and much, much more than Manchester's favourite sporting son.

It is not the first time Hatton in starred in such a show, having been filmed by HBO for 24/7 in the run-up to his clash with Floyd Mayweather but this he says, will give fans a better idea of the man behind the bodyshots.

"There certainly isn't any faking it for the cameras," he said. "We're a load of barmpots 24/7!

"I'm looking forward to it - it's what fans should see. They see you fight and they see clips of you in the gym but sometimes they don't see your homelife.

"And it's true - we're a load of headcases!"

To see At Home With The Hattons, tune into Sky One, 10pm this Sunday - and watch out for the repeat showings.
