Mike Tindall sent a sneaky signal to his rugby pals back home during I'm A Celebrity last night.
In a blink and you'll miss it moment, the 44-year-old was seen fiddling with his ear lobe while Ant and Dec were choosing a nervous celebrity to take part in the next challenge.
After being ruled out, the former rugby player, who shares three children with his wife and the late Queen’s granddaughter Zara Phillips, appeared to smirk and then gave the signal unbeknownst to viewers back home.
The hosts of the Good Bad Rugby postcasts asked Mike in an recent interview to send them a secret message.
They said: "Can you have like a little tell, can you do a little catty ear lobe or something on one of the challenges to let us know that you're thinking of us?"
The podcast hosts confirmed they had spotted the signal with a post on Tiktok, writing: "How many of you spotted Mike Tindall's little sign for us tonight?"
One user said: "I saw that and thought it was a signal for his wife and kids..." and another wrote: "I actually noticed him doing that the other day! very cute."
Mike previously discussed his wife's traumatic birthing experience on Thursday's episode of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
He recalled how he and Zara were at home at Gatcombe Park in March 2021, when a midwife told the pair the daughter of Anne, Princess Royal wouldn't make it to a hospital in time.
The former England international revealed how his royal wife was in a lot of pain during labour, before giving birth to their third child in their home situated between the villages of Minchinhampton and Avening in Gloucestershire, England.
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 the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II has since welcomed three children; Mia Grace, eight, Lena Elizabeth, four and son Lucas, who turned one in March this year.
Recalling Lucas' arrival with his fellow campmates in the Australian jungle, Mike said: "Lucas was rapid. Third one. As we got our stuff to go to hospital, she got out of the bath, she could barely stand, she was shaking. The midwife was like, ‘She’s not making the hospital.’
"She was like, ‘You don’t want to be delivering in the car.’ Into the gym, two gym mats down in the bathroom. But yeah."
Quizzed about whether Zara was in pain throughout the home birth, Mike admitted: "She was, it was fast though, from that moment. She almost choked me to death.
"You can’t say anything can you? 'Can you let go, you’re really hurting me?' "
The birth in March 2021 was thought to be the first royal baby to be born at home for nearly 60 years.
The late Queen’s sister, Princess Margaret, had her daughter Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, now Lady Sarah Chatto, at home in Kensington Palace in May 1964, a few weeks after Elizabeth II had Prince Edward, now the Earl of Wessex, at Buckingham Palace.
Mike - who is the first royal to appear on I'm A Celebrity - revealed mum-of-three Zara will fly to Australia later this month should he make it all the way to the final of the ITV show.
"We have some work out here so if it got to the end then hopefully, she'd be able to come out," Mike said before heading into the jungle.
"Zara told me to go and be myself, which is all you can be. She said to go enjoy and be yourself."
He added: "Zara's biggest worry is how loud I am when I eat. She will be very happy if someone comments about how loud I breathe when I eat because it's always a point that she brings up."
