I'm A Celeb's Mike Tindall reveals awkward Princess Anne sl*t-drop gaffe

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Mike Tindall has revealed he had a rather awkward encounter with his mother-in-law, Princess Anne.

However, his campmates could not believe the revelation as Seann Walsh erupted into fits of laughter after the former rugby ace revealed event the royals can't escape wardrobe blunders.

The dad-of-three has remained rather coy about his life behind royal walls but has told the story about dancing with the Princess Royal at his wife Zara's birthday.

Speaking about the memorable night, the 44-year-old recalled: "I love a suit, my problem with suits is I over exaggerate dancing at weddings… I rip a lot of suits, trousers and stuff.

"The old sl*t drop gets me every time, I went to a wedding, ripped a suit, they were like, 'Oh my God, what are you going to do?' I was like, 'Don’t worry I've got a spare.'

"They were like, 'Who brings a spare suit?' Someone who rips a lot of trousers brings a spare suit."

The professional sportsman added: "Zara had like a 30th birthday, it was a disco 70s-themed one, I was dancing on the dance floor.

"I had like flares on, full outfit but it was quite tight, nothing ever fits - rugby player's bum and legs, so I was dancing with my mother-in-law and I did a sl*t drop in front of my mother-in-law."

Comedian Seann couldn't contain himself in the Bush Telegraph, saying: "Mike sl*t dropped in front of Princess Anne and that is not the end of the story… That's already, what are you thinking?"

"Ripped my trousers, straight in front of her, it happened to be that my boxers that I had on at that time said 'nibble my nuts', he said before revealing: "As I've turned round, she's gone, 'I'd rather not.' I've gone, 'I'm going' and walked off."

Shortly after the scenes aired, fans took to Twitter in their masses to discuss Mike's rather awkward revelation.

One said: "Mike Tindall s**t dropping in front of Princess Anne is the image we all didn’t know we needed !! #imaceleb"

While a second commented: "Can’t wait to see THAT in The Crown. #ImACeleb."

"Mike Tindall has sl*t dropped and ripped his pants in front of the Royal Family… amazing!! #ImACeleb," wrote a third.

Meanwhile, Mike recently delighted fans as he stripped to a pair of "budgie smugglers", which host Declan Donnelly joked could have been stolen from his wife Zara.

"I'll tell you what did come as a shock was when Mike pulled that towel off," Ant remarked on last night's show, as Mike terrified comedian Seann with his prank. "What? What about that swimwear? Wow-wee."

Before Dec joked that Zara will be relieved to see "her" bikini bottoms, claiming she had been looking for them.
