Mike Tindall admits voting for I’m A Celeb’s James to do Bushtucker trial

England rugby legend, Mike Tindall has spoken about his pal James Haskell taking part in I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Mike, 41, said that James is "doing well" on I'm A Celeb after he had been made camp leader by his fellow campmates.

The West Yorkshire native revealed that he has watched every episode of I'm A Celebrity so far and said he hopes James, who also played for England is forced to take on more infamous bushtucker trials.

Speaking to Press Association, Mike said: "I think my boy's doing well. I think he's getting a little bit hungry but I think Ian Wright's the 'hangriest', as it were, out of the group.

"It's always a good sign when he gets picked by the group to be the team leader. I have watched every episode but all I need to do if I do miss anything is keep up with his Instagram and I find out everything anyway! He's got someone posting for him."

The dad-of-two went on to add: "I have been voting for him to get in the trials, anything to see him in a little bit of pain would always make me happy but it shows he's doing all right, he's not had to do so many as yet. But the more he has to do, the better."

Mike, who is married to the Queen's granddaughter, Zara Tindall also revealed that he enjoyed watching Chloe Madeley's husband take part in a bushtucker trial which saw him get up close and personal to Roman Kemp.

During the trial, James and Roman had to pass a pigs testicle to one another via their mouth.

Speaking about the trial, Tindall said: "That was good to see,

"I don't know what's worse – having your head in rats or… at least with rats there's only going to be six of them or something, whereas if you get cockroaches there could be 60,000 of them.

Princess Anne's son-in-law backed James to use his experience from playing rugby to manage the scant supply of food within the camp.

"When it comes to nutrition he's very, very strict and he's going to take care of that himself. He'll definitely find every calorie that he can possibly get.

"He knows exactly his calorie count every time he eats so he's going to be very strict on that from now on."

Mike made the comments at an event hosted by charity Rugby For Heroes, which he is the patron for.

However, he didn't rule out a stint in the jungle.

He said: "There's no plans right now but whenever I'm asked questions like that I always say 'never say never' because you never know what happens.

"But there's no immediate plans to be going in there, that's for sure."
