There was already a rumor: Mike Tindall will be the first royal ever to take part in the British version of the jungle camp. Now it's not just a rumor anymore: The 44-year-old has already arrived in Australia and is about to check in at the camp.
Mike Tindall has arrived in Brisbane, Australia. The husband of Queen's granddaughter Zara Tindall is at the British jungle camp "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" take part.
The former rugby player started his adventure at the airport in a good mood and wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses.
