Mike Tindall leaves I'm A Celeb campmates in hysterics with X-rated joke

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Mike Tindall left his campmates in hysterics after making a joke about his romping habits.

The former rugby player and husband of Zara Tindall took part in a whack-a-mole challenge with new pal Babatunde Aleshe during Friday night's episode.

Mike held on to the Mallett for the challenge as they worked out how to proceed with the challenge.

"We were harnessed up so we were connected to each other with a rope,' he told the camera.

"Between us, we had to work out... One was a giver one was a taker. We're quite comfortable swapping around roles like any good relationship."

At that moment, Babatunde couldn't help but giggle at the innuendo as Mike casually talked about the challenge.

Mike burst out laughing soon after.

Hiding his laugh, he turned to Babatunde and said: "What's wrong?"

It comes after it was revealed Mike could get an ear bashing from his wife if he divulges too much on the show.

So far the former rugby player, whose wife Zara is a niece of King Charles and the daughter of Princess Anne, has not given too much away about his royal in-laws.

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

In a recent episode, Mike 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.

During today's episode of Lorraine, the presenter discussed his stint on the show with Mirror's royal editor Russell Myers.

"We hope he had permission from Zara to talk about these things," Lorraine said.

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

However, 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."
