Mike Tindall is reportedly set to become the first royal to ever take part in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!

The husband of the King’s niece Zara has reportedly arrived in Australia ahead of the latest series.

The former rugby international, 44, told The Sun that the most difficult challenge in the camp will be having no contact with his family.

Love Islander Olivia Attwood and singer Boy George are also rumoured to be taking part in the ITV show.

Soap stars Owen Warner and Sue Cleaver, radio veteran Chris Moyles and Gogglebox star Babatunde Aleshe will also be part of the line-up, the paper claims.

They will be joined by A Place In The Sun Host Scarlette Douglas and Loose Women star Charlene White, reports claim.

Mr Tindall told The Sun: “It’s probably one of the longest times we’ve been away completely with no communication. When you go away you still have communication, so that’s obviously going to be the hardest bit.

"You’ve just got to get your head around doing what you’re doing and try and win some stars and stuff and see where you go from there. I want to win stars because I want to eat!

"The hanger is always going to be the biggest thing you have got to worry about but I’ve also got three kids, so dealing with lack of sleep comes with the territory.”

The paper also reports that comedian Seann Walsh has signed up for the series. However, ITV has not yet confirmed the line-up.

Walsh was previously embroiled in scandal following his kiss with 2018 Strictly Come Dancing partner Katya Jones.

Tindall is married to the Queen’s granddaughter Zara Tindall and helped England win the 2003 Rugby World Cup.

He married the Princess Royal’s daughter in 2011 and the couple have three children, Mia, Lena and Lucas Tindall.

The forthcoming series, which is launching on November 6, will see a new batch of famous faces undertake challenges and trials to secure food and treats for the group and avoid being voted out by the viewers.

ITV has been contacted for comment.
