Before entering theI’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle,Mike Tindall promised to be an “open book” and has since kept true to his word by keeping his campmates entertained with his stories from inside the palace.
But while some have been left divided about the impact of 44 year old Mike’s appearance Down Under, one royal expert has claimed that his stint in the jungle will have gone down well with the younger royals watching at home.
During an interview with OK!, royal expert Jennie Bond claimed that the royals will have been “amused” by Mike’s on-screen antics -even after the former rugby star revealed that he’d accidentally flashed his mother-in-law Princess Anne.
“Princess Anne has more of a sense of humour than we recognise. She can be very stern, but she’s actually one of the most natural people within the family unit,” she said.
“She will laugh, she will joke and I think she'd probably find his antics in the jungle quite funny. I don’t think she will be offended in the least about the underpants story.
“She probably won’t watch every night but she’s very close to her children and I imagine she will want to know what’s going on so she can share the experience with Zara.”
She added: “I think the younger generation of royals will be watching. I don’t know about Charles and Camilla – though I have heard that Camilla watches the show, though I don’t know if that’s true.”
Jennie also explained that Mike has been very “respectful” during his time on the show and will be aware of what he can and can’t say while in front of the cameras given that he has been part of the royal family for over 10 years.
“The royals won’t be surprised at how Mike has come across as being down to earth as they know him better than anyone. He’s always been a bit of the life and soul of any royal get together,” she added.
However,with MP Matt Hancock being voted by the public to do the majority of Bushtucker Trials so far, the royal expert explained that Mike has been unable to show his “true” self.
“I don’t think we’ve quite seen the true Mike in the jungle. I think he's been quite subdued. That’s partly due to editing but it’s largely been because Matt has done all the trials,” she said.
“The days are so long and unless you're voted in to do a trial, you have nothing to do. Mike’s an action man and his days are usually packed from minute to minute.
"Hopefully we’ll see Mike do more trials and have more of a laugh – maybe he’ll pull some practical jokes on his campmates.”
