Producer Ben is one of the world's best known names in pornography and has an extensive array of top industry awards.
Previously speaking about his unusual upbringing, Tyger told Radio Times: "My parents never hid from me what they did for a living. It was a very slow, euphemistic process.
"A friend would come round and they’d say, 'This is Pascale. Mummy and Daddy take pictures of Pascale having a special hug with Charlotte.' By the time I was nine, I pretty much completely understood."
