I'm A Celebrity's Mike Tindall suffered mortifying moment in front of Princess Anne at Zara's party

Mike Tindall has shared a mortifying family moment with his I'm A Celebrity campmates, recalling a night when he suffered an unfortunate mishap when doing a 'sl*t drop' in front of his mother-in-law, Princess Anne.

As well as being a member of England's World Cup winning rugby side, Mike is also famous for being the husband of The Queen's granddaughter Zara Phillips. Mike has already discussed other half Zara on numerous occasions during his time in the jungle so far, talking about her rapid birth of their youngest child and despairing at his co-stars not knowing what number Zara was in line to the throne.

And his Royal connections raised their head again during Monday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity, when he discussed his embarrassment in front of the Princess Royal, due to carrying out that very famous Geordie dance move...the sl*t drop.

Discussing his habit of ruining suits due to his fondness for doing the move, he said: "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.”

Homing in on what happened in front of Princess Anne, he 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.

Explaining that the embarrassment didn't end there, Mike continued: “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’.”
