Mike Tindall has revealed he 'might regret' I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! after landing in Australia to join the star-studded jungle. 

The British rugby player has been confirmed as one of the VIPs on this year's season of the ITV reality show, ending months of speculation over his participation. 

It was first rumored that a Royal Family member may join I'm a Celebrity 2022 in early October, with reports claiming that Tindall had agreed to do the survival series after seeing his podcast co-host, James Haskell, take on the challenge in 2019. The addition of the 43-year-old, who is famously married to the Queen's granddaughter, Zara Tindall, is understood to be a "massive coupe" for ITV bosses. 

Tindall touched down in Australia yesterday, arriving in Brisbane after taking a red-eye flight from London. He was photographed in the airport terminal smiling and wearing a baseball cap, jeans, and shades, an outfit that looked notably similar to Princess Anne's double denim and snazzy' sunglasses in Uganda. 

Speaking to the Sun, Tindall said he'd miss his family while he was filming I'm a Celebrity 2022. 

"It’s probably one of the longest times we’ve been away completely with no communication. When you go away you still have communication, so that’s obviously going to be the hardest bit," he admitted. 

Tindall lives with Zara and their children, Mia, Lena, and Lucas at the luxurious Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire, and spends most of his time balancing work and parenting. He hopes that the demands of raising three young kids will have prepared him for the conditions of the jungle, especially the poor sleeping quarters. 

"The hanger is always going to be the biggest thing you have got to worry about but I’ve also got three kids, so dealing with lack of sleep comes with the territory." 

Tindall also admitted he was "always on the fence" about the show and "might regret" doing it, but is keeping a positive attitude in the meantime.

"I do think it will be good fun at the end of the day. That is the other thing, I like groups of people and I like things that can be good fun so let’s see," he said. "I might regret it."
