마이크 틴달 is getting candid about whether the royal family approved of his appearance on the British reality show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.

The former Team England rugby star, 44, fielded listener questions on the latest episode of his podcast, 좋은, the Bad and the Rugby, and answered one inquiring if he needed to get permission from the royal family to appear on the show.

Tindall said in the podcast released Wednesday that he didn’t need to get permission, but asked a senior member of the royal family anyway as a courtesy.

“You don’t want to upset anyone,” Tindall said. “I spoke to the 웨일즈의 왕자 about it and he said ‘Great, go have fun’.”

He also added that he didn’t receive any warnings about what he could or couldn’t share about the royal family on the show. Though he confessed that he did purposely keep certain “conversations short” about the royal family so they wouldn’t be broadcasted.

“Ripped my trousers, straight in front of her,” Mike continued. “It happened to be that the boxers that I had on at that time said ‘nibble my nuts.’ As I’ve turned round, she’s gone, ‘I’d rather not.'”
