Mike Tindall has launched his own budgie smuggler line for charity after wearing the swimwear during his time on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

The 44-year-old former rugby player, who finished fourth in the ITV series at the weekend, caught viewers’ attention as he took a dip in the pool in the Australian jungle in the tight swimming trunks.

His new limited edition, created in collaboration with his team from The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast, includes two jungle-inspired designs, one with the phrase “That’s not my wife’s” and the other with “Chew my nuts.”

Profits from each sale go to Cure Parkinson’s and help fund research into this disease.

Tindall has previously spoken about the devastating impact Parkinson’s disease has had on his father, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2003.

Parkinson’s disease is a disease in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged over many years, according to the NHS website.

The charity range is available on the Budgy Smugglers UK website and includes the description: “Wrap yourself in a piece of Australian jungle and immerse yourself” and the addition “Made in Australia, Inspired by Mike”.

Tindall narrowly missed out on a place in Sunday night’s final after becoming the eighth contestant to be eliminated from the ITV show on Saturday.

After his appearance on the reality series, he said he wanted to “hide in shame” at his next family reunion after amusing his campmates with the story of how he ripped his trousers in front of his mother-in-law, the Princess Royal.

The former rugby player told his co-stars during his time on the show about the incident, which occurred on the dance floor at his wife Zara’s 70s-themed 30th birthday party and caused much laughter.

During his appearance on Good Morning Britain on Monday, he asked if he knew how many members of the royal family had been watching him.

He said, “No, I don’t know at the moment, but I’m sure I’ll find out eventually. Christmas is just around the corner. We’ll see if there are some interesting presents under the tree. I don’t know.”

“There’s a certain sense of humor in the family. So, yes, I’ll wait for some interesting gifts and see how many people have been watching.”

When asked if he knew whether the Princess of England had seen him recalling the trouser rip on national television, he replied: “No, I don’t think she watched, but I think Zara may have told her.”

“But I’m pretty sure it’s probably seared into her memory for the wrong reasons. So yeah, I’ll probably hide from it in shame.”

Tindall had described the incident to his competitor Seann Walsh.

He told him, “I love suits. My problem with suits is that I overdo it when dancing at weddings… I rip a lot of suits, pants and stuff.”

To which 36-year-old comedian Walsh replied: “Of course you do.”

Tindall continued: “The old bitch drop gets me every time. I was at a wedding, ripped a suit and they said, ‘Oh my God, what do I do?’

“I said, ‘Don’t worry, I have a spare suit.’ They said, ‘Who brings a spare suit?’ Someone who rips a lot of pants brings a spare suit.”

He added: “Zara had something like a 30th birthday, it was a 70s disco style party, I was dancing on the dance floor, I had bell bottoms on, a full outfit, but it was quite tight, nothing ever fits – a rugby player’s bum and legs – so I danced with my mother-in-law and did a slut drop in front of my mother-in-law.”
