Davina McCall says Mike Tindall is a 'monster' as she gushes about her I'm A Celeb pal

Davina McCall said her pal Mike Tindall is a 'monster' as she complimented the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star's talents.

Zara Tindall's husband isn't a stranger to reality tv and previously impressed viewers with his skills on skiing show, The Jump - which was hosted by Davina.

David couldn't help but praise the 'amazing' former rugby player as he competes in the jungle.

"All I can say about Mike is he's a monster," she said.

"What he used to do on the ski jump, having never ski-jumped before, was nothing short of miraculous."

"That man fell. Then he'd just get back up at the end of it and just dust himself off. He is amazing," she added.

Davina explained to new Magazine that Mike does 'good things' with his fame.

It comes after a royal expert claimed he would get an 'ear-bashing' from his wife if he reveals too much on television.

He recently spilled details about his early relationship with his wife revealing how they had a boozy first date and both realised they liked getting "smashed".

On a recent episode, he spoke candidly about Zara's traumatic birth experience and how she almost "choked him to death" when their one-year-old son Lucas arrived at their home in Gloucestershire.

Soon after, on Lorraine, the presenter spoke to the Mirror's royal editor Russell Myers and said: "We hope he had permission from Zara to talk about these things."

And Russell replied: "Well yes, you do I suppose otherwise he will be in for an ear bashing when he gets home."

Russell believes that Mike seems to have been a favourite with viewers, who are seeing why he was beloved by his wife's late grandmother the Queen.

He added: "With Mike Tindall being on the show, a lot of eyebrows were raised, obviously his association with the royal family is well documented.

"I think he is showing a really sensitive side. People might have assumed Mike Tindall is this big rugby guy, with a hard exterior but he's got a bit of a soft centre and I think he is going to go quite far."
