Mike Tindall - I'm a Celebrity

[Arnaquer]

Rumours circulating that he's signed up for the next series of I'm a Celebrity.
I know he and Zara have to make their own money but I find this tasteless and tacky.
Puts me in mind of the Royal It's a Knockout.
Surely they can't be that desperate for cash?

I don't really have an issue with members of the royal family making their own money.

So long as they don't expect taxpayers to fund their lifestyle or their security.

Never heard of that either. I know PA has had several tickets for speeding though

Greenhousegal - all H M ‘wealth’ purloined therefore effectively pelf 😡☘️👍🏿

I think that poster was referring to Mike kissing some girl, as seen on some CCTV.

He denies they slept together though.

It seems a poor choice for a member of the RF. But then again, if he has to feed his children then he needs to do what he has to do.
I can't imagine they are penniless given Z has likely just had a huge inheritance from her nan and the Princess will have inherited lots from her own parents and grandparents. The reason why you cannot see their wills is because they have unimaginable wealth - and there are laws in place to prevent some of them from being taxed on their inheritance.
This is the same money used to purchase Gatcombe and other properties of course.

Surely it's more that he's ' cashing in' on being an ex sports star more than a royal?

I'm a Celebrity often has ex sports stars on.

😂😂😂

It's just so naff though isn't it? Surely the RF is above such cringy TV shows.

Beats getting a proper job I guess.

That's what I think. Why put yourself in the spotlight ( and make an idiot of yourself doing the stupid challenges)

MikeTindall has done a program for Sport Relief and he was also previously in one of the series of “The Jump”, which was the winter-sports based reality competition. So this doesn’t exactly seem like something out of his wheelhouse - like many former sports stars he has appeared on some tv programs.

Why he is a person in his own right and a celebrity , its also pays good money

He is as well known for being a Royal as an ex-sports star. You can't pretend he is not a member of the Royal family.

Pretty much this. Plus he was a successful sportsman and famous in his own right before he got married. He’s not a ‘working’ member of the RF, so not really an issue for them either I’d imagine.

@notanotheroneagain no one has proof who is leaking lies ? Its all assumptions and none of is know what is the truth or a lie And he isn't on a huge US programme airing his dirty linen either , which means less likely to have people saying things back there would always be repercussions for that and their stories didn't even always back up each other
I don't dislike m& H but they are niave at best and also don't believe everything you read in the papers about either side

But MIke Tindall is entitled to do any show he likes he is a free person and not as high up in royal family as Harry for one and Zara has always lead a more normal public life
Princess Anne was on a question a sport etc
They are still people

The King is going on a restoration show soon. Is that OK? Is it only a certain type of show that irks you or a certain type of person?

Harry and Meghan have not gone the same way about things so its not comparable
Harry did lots if unroyal things prior to meghan and no one batted an eyelid most if the time
You cannot go on a major US chat show and not expect repercussions its nowhere near comparable to having a rugby podcast or going on IM a celebrity and he isn't the son of the king either

Dan Wooten was one of the main people that actually leaked the its the royal family that is leaking against H&M. He is the one who got the scoop on their exit and told them he would publish it. Where do you think they get the info from the 'palace sources' from ?

Also, that same palace are the ones who have been airing dirty linen for ages, cannot blame H&M for setting the record straight.

Nothing much about Mike, but if you are going to clutch your pearls about H&M, you should keep the same energy for Mike and the other YouTubers too. Only fair.

Charles has been interviewed and publicly criticised the Queen and her parenting.
They all do this.

@Aggypanthus what your £1.80 or whatever it is you want that back ffs
They own the land and house we don't pay for it and how is it much different to anyone born to wealth?
Loads of people have more than me but thats life
Loads of people follow celebrities who barely do anything but are mega rich
Can't understand why people are so jealous of the royals , all in all despite the money it looks a pretty shit life to me

@derxa exactly the papers tried to make out something but of course that only happens to H&M as far as some are concerned
The tabloids are awful

@notanotheroneagain oh so must be true then and yes mIke has had press stories or do you live under a rock
H&m have not helped themselves either
Also bullying thing was never published and never will be ? Why ? Do we not have right to know what happened there as well , surely all sides get to tell

Jealous of the royals? Do me a favour you numpty. I wouldn't have their lives for all the tea in China and I like tea.

Mike Tindall is cashing in on being a Royal and an ex-sports star.
People got to know him as a sports person. He is still in the public eye because he is a Royal and married to Zara.

@antelopevalley but its backfired on them mostly so thats a gamble they took
Same as Charles really he is not held in the same regard as the Queen etc
But it was the fact their stories didn't even match and some of what was said clearly disproved
I think the tabloids treated Meghan awfully but the interview didn't do them the good they hoped and thats a chance they take
They did seem like a good modern future for the royal family and who knows maybe they will be again as time is a great healer and now his dad is king etc maybe they can find a new role
The public will always have an opinion though such as OP who created this a bit if a non story but looking to criticise someone

I have done a quick search and there are 5 posts about Mike Tindall on the Royal Family section where people talk about him being a Royal.
Please do not pretend there is no interest on him as a member of the Royal Family, there is.
It is also very clear that there are different rules for members who are in favour and those who are out of favour.
