Why Mike Tindall can appear on I'm A Celeb - while other royals would not be allowed

Mike Tindall has arrived in Australia confirming he will take part in the upcoming series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.

He was spotted at the airport wearing a navy t-shirt and baseball cap ready for his stint in the jungle, joining a host of other stars including Chris Moyles, Gogglebox star Babatunde Aleshe, Loose Women's Charlene White and Lioness Jill Scott.

The former rugby player is married to Zara Tindall, the daughter of Princess Anne, which makes her a niece of King Charles. Zara and Mike are regulars at royal events - and were front and centre at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations earlier this year. And he becomes the first royal to appear on the hit ITV show, with show bosses said to be delighted to have him sign up. However, unlike some of his royal relatives - Mike nor wife Zara hold royal titles, carry out any official royal duties or receive any public money.
