Sports promoter Barry Hearn reckons it’s odds on that aliens exist. The mogul – who runs boxing, darts and snooker events – said they are a “mathematical certainty of life”.

Barry, 77, admitted he is not sure that they might look like little green men just like on telly. But he declared it “impossible” that we’re the only universe with life in it.

Asked whether he believed in aliens, he told the Parenting Hell podcast: “Yes, I do. I’m a mathematician. There’s no mathematical reason why we should be so different.

“There are trillions, if not more, stars out there and it is impossible to believe that we are the only universe that endures life of some description.

“I just believe in the mathematical certainty of life.”

Barry is the head of Matchroom Sport as well as chairman of the Professional Darts Corporation and the World Snooker Association.

But he is also a qualified accounting whizz and said that’s why he believes in the statistical likelihood that aliens are out there.

He added: “I hate being so predictable, but I’m just a boring, chartered accountant.”
