ITV I'm A Celebrity fans fear Mike Tindall close to fallout with Owen Warner as they 'spot signs'

The dynamics of this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! are already becoming apparent to some fans of the hit show as it returns to our screens for 2022. Viewers are claiming that they have noticed a potential clash brewing between Mike Tindall and Owen Warner.

As the celebs were introduced during Sunday's premiere, three of the contestants were grouped together for their journey into camp and their first challenge. Owen, 23, a Hollyoaks star, was teamed up with Mike, 44, a former rugby player, and Corrie's Sue Cleaver, 59. Taking part in the Critters Cruise challenge, the Mirror reported that Owen read out the code '1463' engraved on a brick and joked that it was the year that Mike was born. The actor was searching for three stars that were locked with padlocks in a sewer.

All three contestants played their part in the challenge with Zara Tindall's husband first to take charge "as he was the only one without hair". Each earned stars for camp but, fans couldn't help but spot some potential tension between the actor and the ex-rugby player.

Heading straight for social media, one viewer said: "Anyone else think it's only a matter of time before Mike Tindall puts Owen in his place? #ImACeleb." Another added: "Mike enjoying seeing Owen suffer is sending me. #imaceleb." While a third added: "Mike is going to end up absolutely *hating* Owen. You can see it already. #ImACeleb".

The interaction between to stars continued to cause debate among fans as Owen asked Mike about how he met is wife. As fans cringed at the questioning Mike reveal he met Zara in Sydney in 2003. Zara, a member of the Royal family, is Princess Anne's daughter and currently 20th in line to the British throne.

The remark prompted Owen to ask: "Is she Australian?" He was told that she wasn't.

The comment attracted attention among viewers, who were amused that Owen didn't know who the couple were. "Did Owen just ask if Zara Phillips is Australian? I can't deal with this man," asked one viewer. Another said: "Oh dear". With a third added: "I couldn’t believe what I was hearing", and another said: "I can't believe Owen asked [that]. Babe she's literally in the Royal Family".
