From Culture Club\u2019s Boy George to Love Island<\/a> star Olivia Attwood, there are some big names entering the Jungle on Sunday, including Mike Tindall, who\u2019ll be the first Royal to sign up for the show.<\/p>\n The former Rugby Union player, who is also known for marrying the late Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s granddaughter Zara Phillips, is hoping to become the campsite\u2019s \u201cmorning motivator\u201d, although we doubt he\u2019ll be particular chirpy if he\u2019s voted to be the first Jungle VIP (Very Isolated Person)<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Mike Tindall ahead of his debut on I\u2019m a Celebrity\u2026Get Me Out of Here!<\/p> Age:<\/strong> 44<\/p>\n Instagram:\u00a0<\/strong>@mike_tindall12<\/a><\/p>\n Job:\u00a0<\/strong>Former professional rugby player<\/p>\n Mike Tindall is a former English Rugby Union player and the first member of the Royal Family to take part in I\u2019m a Celebrity\u2026Get Me Out of Here.<\/p>\n The 44-year-old played for Bath and Gloucester during his career as well as the England team from 2000 until 2011, competing in 11 Six Nations Championships.<\/p>\n In 2011, Tindall married Zara Phillips \u2013 British equestrian, the daughter of Princess Anne and the granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II \u2013 with the couple sharing three children.<\/p>\n That same year, he was fined \u00a325,000 by the Rugby Football Union for throwing a person with dwarfism in New Zealand during the 2011 Rugby World Cup, however his appeal was partly successful and his fine was reduced to \u00a315,000<\/a>.<\/p>\n Since leaving rugby, Tindall has appeared on The Jump and Bear Grylls: Mission Survive. He also hosts a podcast with James Haskell and Alex Payne titled The Good, The Bad & The Rugby.<\/p>\n Phobias? <\/strong>\u201cI haven\u2019t admitted to having any phobias but in a weird way, I am looking forward to taking part in the trials!\u201d<\/p>\n Missing any special occasion:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cMy podcast series and the rugby Internationals this autumn.\u201d<\/p>\n Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: <\/strong>\u201cNothing. I am an open book.\u201d<\/p>\n Role in the camp:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cMorning motivator. I would like to see everyone get on well and us all have a great experience.\u201d<\/p>\n Best attribute:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cI am a positive person.\u201d<\/p>\n Dream camper:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cSamuel L Jackson would be cool. He has lived the life!\u201d<\/p>\n Tindall has said that he decided to sign up for the show after his friend and former I\u2019m a Celebrity contestant James Haskell sang the show\u2019s praises, adding: \u201cIt is sinking in now that I am taking part. I am ready to rumble!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI have been asked on numerous occasions to take part,\u201d he said. \u201cThe timing was right this year and Hask did the show and he had been talking about it.\u201d<\/p>\n The former rugby player also said that he doesn\u2019t mind taking part in the Bushtucker trials that require eating bugs, as it\u2019s a chance to get some \u201cprotein\u201d. \u201cI am eight years out of the game now so I am a bit more realistic about food, but I know James said the lack of food can sometimes be hard.<\/p>\n \u201cBut at least with the eating trials, you get food in you! It might not taste very nice but at least it is serving a purpose and giving you a protein intake. Bring on those challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n I\u2019m a Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out of Here! starts on ITV on Sunday 6th November at 9pm.
