“It’s a massive coup”: Royal’s new TV role
Mike Tindall is reported to be taking part in the new season of Australia’s I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
The Sun reported that the husband of Princess Anne’s daughter Zara, will be heading to Australia to appear on the show.
"It's a massive coup. Mike has had a box seat for some of the most important moments in royal history for generations,” a source told the publication.
"He is sure to be discreet, but his sheer presence means this series will be an absolute must-watch."
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Is due to hit the screens in November and the lineup will be announced closer to the launch date.
If rumours are true that Mike will be appearing on the show, it will make him the first royal to sign up for the long-running programme.
Others however have compared Mike’s move to Meghan Markle’s previous role in the huge Netflix series Suits.
This prompted a response from renowned UK journalist Piers Morgan who pointed out that the Tindall’s were never working royals.
"There will be some who sneer today that Tindall shouldn’t be degrading himself by taking part in a TV reality show and comparing him to royal renegades Meghan and Harry, who quit Britain and royal duty to ruthlessly exploit their titles for massive commercial gain in America,” Piers wrote.
"But here's the difference: the Tindalls have never been working royals, had any royal titles, or received any public money. They are self-sufficient financially, trading off their mutual huge success in the sporting arena."
Mike and Zara married in 2011 and have three children, Mia, eight, Lena, four, and Lucas, one.
