Faryal previously accused Amir's parents of "bullying" her

Amir Khan’s family have finally ended their bitter year-long feud with his wife Faryal Makhdoom.

Faryal apparently fell out with Amir’s parents after they disapproved of her Western dress code.

Shah has now told The Sun that Faryal “comes over to the house” and they watch I’m A Celeb “as a family.”

“Faryal comes over to the house and we sit down as a family and watch the show together. Of course, it’s been nice for the family to bond again,” Shah told the publication.

He went on to say that “like every family we have ups and downs,” but “you’ve got to work through it and try to iron everything out and move on.”

“Lamaisah [Amir and Faryal’s three-year-old daughter] cheering him on and missing him a lot and I think that Amir is missing her a lot too,” Shah continued.

“We keep saying to her, ‘Lamaisah, where’s daddy?’ And she says, ‘JUNGLE’ it’s really funny.”

Faryal and former boxing champion Amir, 30, split briefly over the summer after he accused her of cheating on him with fellow boxer Anthony Joshua and claimed they were getting a divorce.

Faryal then shockingly announced she’s pregnant with her second child with Amir.

On top of all that, there has been a lot of tension between Faryal and her in-laws over the past year after she publicly blasted them on social media.

Faryal took to Snapchat at the end of last year to slam Amir’s “bullying” family and even claimed her “evil, hating sister-in-law” tried to hit her.

In a series of messages Faryal accused her mother-in-law, Falak Khan, of trying to wreck her and Amir’s marriage.

She called the family’s treatment of Amir “disgusting” and branded them “selfish and lame.”

Earlier this month, Amir and Faryal decided to give their marriage another chance just one week before Amir headed into the jungle.

Amir, who married Faryal in 2013, tweeted a snap of the couple cuddling on the sofa with the caption: “With my 4 month pregnant wife, after sorting out all the issues. Closing the year with a happy ending.”
