According to The Sun website, the fallen idol, known for his love of fine wines and posh restaurants, has also complained about the small portions handed out.
The 54-year-old German is reportedly using his £10 (R200) weekly allowance to top up his meals by buying chocolate, biscuits and bananas from the prison canteen.
Becker is being held in a cell of six square metres and is locked away from 20:00 each night until 07:00 the next morning.

In some good news for the six-time Grand Slam winner, he has been told he will keep his own cell, unlike most other inmates who share, and is likely to be transferred to a ‘softer’ jail within weeks.
Becker is also reportedly struggling to sleep due to “constant noise” at night and the stench of Wandsworth Prison in South West London.
As reported by The South African website, Becker was jailed for two-and-a-half years last week for hiding £2.5 million after being declared bankrupt.
