Former English rugby player Mike Tindall (44) is currently proving himself in the British jungle camp in Australia. Now he’s got mail from home and that means nothing less than from the Royal Family. Because the ex-sports professional has been married to Zara Tindall (41) since 2011, the daughter of Queen’s daughter Princess Anne (73).
Tindall was in tears when he heard Zara’s message from home, excerpts from the show on Mail Online show. A fellow camper had read the letter. “Hi darling. We miss you so much and are in desperate need of some hugs from dad but we’re glad you’re sharing them with your roommates,” she wrote. And then she talked about the three children they had together, Mia (8), Lena (4) and Lucas (1): “The girls enjoy sports and are throwing themselves into everything at the moment, and the little man loves life, does it broke everything and learn some new words.” The letter was signed “Z, M, L and L. x”.
A very touched, teary-eyed Mike then explained in a separate interview: “It was great to hear from Zara and the kids.” And he added, referring to a possible departure from the show: “Of course I want to see her more now, but you never know when that will be.”
The former Team England rugby star has been away from home for two weeks to film ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ At the end of the three-week competition, only three contestants remain to vie for the crown and be crowned Queen or King of the Jungle.
