I'm A Celebrity's Mike Tindall exposed his 'Nibble my nuts' boxer shorts to Princess Anne while dancing

Mike Tindall has revealed to his fellow I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! campmates how he once split his trousers in front of Princess Anne, exposing a pair of boxer shorts which read: 'Nibble my nuts'. The former English rugby union player, who's married to Zara – the princess' daughter – said he experienced the embarrassing wardrobe malfunction at his wife's 30th birthday bash.

"I love a suit but my problem with them is that I over-exaggerate when I dance," explained the 44-year-old. "I end up ripping lots of trousers and stuff."

He added that in attempting a "slut drop" – a move which involves squatting down quickly and as low as possible before immediately popping back up – he managed to give his royal mother-in-law quite an eyeful. "Zara had like a 30th birthday – it was a disco, 70s-themed one and I was dancing with a pair of flares on," said Tindall.

"It was the full outfit and was quite tight because nothing ever fits over a rugby player’s bum and legs. So I was dancing and I did a slut drop in front of Anne – ripped my trousers straight in front of her.

"It also just happened that the boxers I had on had ‘Nibble my nuts’ written on them. And, as I've turned round, Anne’s gone: 'I'd really rather not, Mike'."

The anecdote prompted the rest of the campmates to fall about laughing. Seann Walsh and Babatúndé Aléshé even broke into a round of applause for the sportsman. Later, in the Bush Telegraph, Walsh commented: "What an absolute legend. I would love to go to a party with Mike."
