Mike Tindall has told how he said an emotional goodbye on the Royal Estate to head off for a royal reality show - and was warned by his wife to take care when eating.

Mike said: "Obviously, it's difficult but the saving grace is going to a country that we know very well, and Zara understands and gets it and that makes it a lot easier.
