Mike Tindall dishes on boozy first meeting with Zara Phillips and I'm a Celebrity campmate Owen Warner makes another hilarious gaffe

Former England rugby ace Mike Tindall opened up about meeting his royal wife Zara while getting to know his campmates on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! The 44-year-old, who was a member of the English rugby union squad which won the 2003 World Cup, admitted that they discovered they 'both quite like getting smashed' during their 'boozy' first date.

Mike met Zara, 41, who is King Charles' niece, during England's World Cup-winning campaign in Australia in 2003. Speaking in the famous camp on the ITV jungle reality show to comedian Babatúndé Aleshe and Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner about his wife, he explained that they met in Sydney.

And Owen raised laughs among viewers watching at home on Monday night as he asked "Is she Australian?" about the daughter of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips, who is 20th in the line of succession to the British throne.
