I’m A Celebrity's Mike Tindall makes career announcement after coming fourth on show

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Mike Tindall has announced a new venture following his jungle stint. The former rugby player and royal family member has launched a line of swimwear for charity.

It comes after the 44-year-old wore colourful swim trunks, from Budgy Smugglers, during his time in the Australian jungle. Profits from the sales will be going towards Cure Parkinson's to help fund their research into the condition.

Sharing the news on his Instagram profile, Mike wrote: "The team have been busy while I have been away... you can now order a very limited edition run of GBR 'Nibble my Nuts' and 'These are not my wife's' budgies @budgysmuggleruk. All profits will go to Cure Parkinson's (@cureparkinsons)."

It comes after Mike was interviewed by Good Morning Britain's entertainment editor, Richard Arnold, who asked the star: "Will you be launching a range of your own Budgy Smuggler's that perhaps even I could pull off?"

"I've actually just shown the room, a pair that we might have knocked up already," Mike responded. "Do don't worry you're on the gift list, so you'll get some.

"It says 'Nibble My Nuts' and then I think there is one that says 'No these aren't Zara's' so I'll make sure they find their way over to you."

The limited edition designs are created in collaboration with his team from The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast, and are available from Budgy Smuggler UK. The clothing brand also shared a post and wrote: "Wrap a bit of the Australian Jungle around you and dive right in.

"Profits from each sale go directly to Cure Parkinson’s to help power their research in finding a cure for Parkinson’s. Made in Australia, Inspired by Mike."

The designs are made to order and are available for £35. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
