Livid I'm A Celeb fans demand answers as Mike Tindall's rare royal chat is 'cut short'

Mike Tindall was in the middle of spilling the beans of the Royal family when his conversation was cut short during Thursday's instalment of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!

The former English rugby player, 44, is married to Zara Tindall - the daughter of Princess Anne - and throughout his jungle stint, Mike has kept his close link to the Royal family under wraps.

However, during Thursday's episode, which saw Radio DJ Chris Moyles become the sixth star to be eliminated from the 2022 series, I'm A Celebrity favourite Mike began to shed some light on his personal life - that was before he was rudely interrupted.

While sitting in camp with fellow jungle co-star, Owen Warner, Mike dished the dirt about protocols and dress codes at Buckingham Palace.

The former rugby star also opened up about how his romance with wife Zara, the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, blossomed years ago.

Mike explained that although he knew Zara was Princess Anne's daughter from the get-go, he was never nervous about impressing her.

Mike explained: "Because we were friends first and then William and Harry were massive England fans at the time, so we’d met them numerous times. Met more of the family than you’d normally have met of the woman you start dating."

Following Mike's sweet confession, it appeared that his insightful conversation with Owen was cut short as the episode moved to advert breaks - much to the annoyance of ITV viewers.

Fuming, they took to Twitter to complain about Mike's conversation on the Royal's being cut short.

"Why did they cut Mike and Owens conversation short, I need answers about EVERYTHING," one viewer fumed.

"F*** WITH THE TREAT, I WANTED TO HEAR MIKE SPILLING THE BEANS," another raged.

"I love hearing Mike talking about how he met Zara! Why does it always have to be ruined though," someone else complained.

While a fourth fan tweeted: "LET MIKE SPEAK."

Mike and Zara first met each other in a Sydney bar while Mike competed in England's successful World Cup campaign in Oz, back in 2003.

The pair went on to tie the knot in 2011 and they have since welcomed three children; Mia Grace, eight, Lena Elizabeth, four and son Lucas, who turned one in March this year.

I'm A Celebrity airs every night at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
