Mike Tindall has only been in the jungle for two days and he has already been tipped to win the 2022 series.
The I'm A Celebrity star, 44, set tongues wagging on Monday night when he unveiled his hidden talent and began to rap the lyrics to Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby and Will Smith's Boom! Shake The Room - much to the surprise of viewers at home.
Former former rugby union player Mike, shocked his campmates as he broke out into a rap during a chat with fellow contestants Charlene White and Jill Scott.
After former England footballer Jill Scott gushed that she knew the words to Peter Andre's iconic Mysterious Girl off by heart, Mike put his skills to the test and left jaws on the floor when he belted out the lyrics to Will Smith's 1993 hit.
Following his solo rap battle, Mike was quickly given the nickname 'Vanilla Mike' by his fellow campmate Chris Moyles as fans flocked to Twitter to share their reaction to the former rugby player's hidden talent.
"Mike literally just became the winner of I'm A Celeb in my eyes after that rap," one fan gushed.
"Just when you think Mike Tindall couldn't become any more of a legend, he goes and raps the most iconic song of the nineties. This man needs to be King of the jungle," another echoed.
While someone else tweeted: "Yesssss to Boom! Shake The Room! Mike has some rap skills! Amazing."
Despite the fact that most viewers were loving Mike's rap performance, others were given 'the ick' after he finished.
"I adore Mike but that rapping has completely given me the ick now. So annoyed," they complained.
"Everyone obsessed with Mike and I'm just like meh. I don't see the big deal about him," another added.
While a third tweeted: "Mike can rap all he likes but Jill is going to be the Queen of the jungle."
Although some viewers weren't too impressed with Mike's rap performance, it has nevertheless catapulted him to be the front-runner for this series, alongside fellow sports star, Jill Scott.
Mike has been installed as the early front runner at 3/1, closely followed by former England footballer Jill at 4/1, reports BestofBets.com.
A spokesperson from BestofBets.com said: “Being the first royal to ever participate in a reality show, there’s little surprise that Mike Tindall is the favourite to win the show. And watching him taking on the first challenge last night, you can tell that he’s up for it; and the same could be said for Jill Scott, who didn’t bat an eyelid and you see that come to the fore, that sports mentality and go-get-it spirit."
The biggest bet taken so far on the competition has seen one punter back Mike Tindall to win with a £500 stake after his rap performance.
