Royal Mike Tindall - tipped to appear on this year’s I’m a Celebrity - reportedly blew £12,000 on booze as he celebrated his stag do.The former England rugby ace was spotted downing cans of beers and gulping wine from a carafe during the alcohol-fuelled celebrations in Florida. He was joined by ten friends on the wild holiday - which culminated with the heavy drinking session at LIV nightclub at the fashionable Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach. The five hour booze marathon came before Mike, 43, married Zara Phillips - the late Queen’s granddaughter.

According to reports in The Daily Mail at the time, Mike put his bank card behind the bar and spent £12,000 on items including a £508 bottle of vintage Perrier-Jouët Brut Millésime and a Dom Perignon Rose 1996 costing £859. Ten bottles of vodka, ten bottles of tequila, a bottle of sambuca and 34 cans of Red Bull energy drink were also listed on the receipt. Mike became a key member of the royal inner circle after marrying Olympic equestrian Zara, 41, in July 2011, at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh.They have since had three children together - daughters Mia, eight, Lena, four, and baby boy Lucas, one.

Now the former England outside centre is set to become a contestant on ITV fan favourite I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here. He will be the first royal to appear on prime time reality TV since Anne, Andrew and Edward’s ill-fated appearance in fancy dress as team captains on the It’s A Royal Knockout charity edition. According to The Sun, Mike has agreed to enter the bug-infested Australian jungle next month - appearing alongside the likes of 80s pop star Boy George, comedian Seann Walsh and DJ Chris Moyles.
