Amir Khan has breached the Covid lockdown rules for a third time by hosting a family birthday party for his six-year-old daughter.
The boxer and wife Faryal Makhdoom held the surprise bash for Lamaisah at their home in Bolton and he could not resist posting a video of events to his 1.3 million Instagram followers.
It is the third time he has ignored social distancing rules after an emotional reunion with his parents at Eid last weekend and hosting a takeaway for five friends at his home in April.

They all shout ‘Surprise’ as she walks into the room wearing a unicorn headband and then sing ‘Happy Birthday’ as they stand close together with Khan in the background.
Lamaisah can be seen blowing the candles out on her cake before opening presents with her relatives huddled close by.
Khan, 33, a former light-welterweight world champion, appeared to take the video down shortly afterwards, perhaps mindful of the grovelling promise he made in April to abide by the Lockdown rules.
That followed his posting of a video showing five friends at his Bolton home enjoying a takeaway curry at the height of the pandemic.
Back then he said, ‘I was wrong and I’m truly sorry to the British public. I should not have had this party for my friends and as soon as I posted the video, I realised that it was sending out the wrong message.
‘I can understand why some people are calling me a hypocrite, but I want to promise them, I will not do something like this again.’
He appeared to stay on the right side of the rules for just over a month before two flagrant breaches in the space of a week.
Over the Eid weekend, he and wife Faryal, 28, decided to end their long rift with his parents, Shah and Falak, for a tearful reunion at their house.

The family had fallen out in spectacular style during 2016 and 2017 with his parents calling Faryal, an American model, ‘evil’ and ‘controlling’ while she responded with claims of bullying.
At one stage Khan announced he would be divorcing his wife, only for her to announce she was pregnant with the second of their three children, and for the marriage to survive.
The get-together at the weekend, which included his siblings and cousins, was the first time the couple had seen Khan’s parents since December 2018.
It was all the more emotional as it was the first time his parents had met their grandson Muhammad Zaviyar, born three-months ago.
At the time Khan was reported to have said that the pandemic had made him realise the importance of family.
And a source close to the star had excused his behaviour by blaming PM advisor Dominic Cummings.

‘Important people in the Government are breaching the lockdown so what is wrong with the Khans and other people doing it?,’ said the source.
He added: ‘If people are going to criticise them, then I would ask why are you picking on them? Why not target those who are more influential, like Dominic Cummings?’
There was no reply from Khan when asked for a comment on hosting a party for his daughter’s birthday.
