Mike Tindall is preparing for another television challenge, with a former royal butler predicting the rugby star could trade the jungle for the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom, where Queen Camilla would be keen to cheer him on.<\/p>\n
Grant Harrold, who served as a butler to King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove between 2004 and 2011, believes Mike could be well suited to Strictly Come Dancing* or even the celebrity edition of The Great British Bake Off.<\/p>\n
The former England rugby international, who finished fourth on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2022, proved a popular addition to the ITV series.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking to OLBG, Harrold suggested that a return to reality television could be on the cards, although he does not expect Mike to rush into another high-profile appearance.<\/p>\n
“I really could see him doing Strictly Come Dancing; I wouldn’t rule that out,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“I think the reason he hasn\u2019t done it yet is that it\u2019s too soon after I’m A Celebrity. I think they\u2019re going to give it some time, but I absolutely would not rule it out in the future.”<\/p>\n
The prospect of Mike taking to the dancefloor could prove particularly appealing if it brought a royal supporter into the audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His wife, Zara Tindall, is the daughter of Princess Anne, making him the son-in-law of the Princess Royal’s extended royal circle \u2013 and Queen Camilla could reportedly be among those cheering him on.<\/p>\n
Asked whether the Queen would enjoy watching Mike compete on Strictly, Harrold was confident she would show her support.<\/p>\n
“Oh yes, she’d be there supporting him,” he said. “I guarantee she’d be in the audience, not every week, but she would absolutely be there 100 per cent. It would be fun to watch.”<\/p>\n
A stint in the famous Great British Bake Off tent is another possibility in Harrold’s view, offering Mike the chance to trade sporting challenges for a more light-hearted competition while raising money for charity.<\/p>\n
“I can also see him doing the celebrity version of The Great British Bake Off,” he said. “That’s quite classy, and you’re raising money for<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
