Mike Tindall has starred in a new advert for Domino’s Pizza, that’s been released ahead of a rumoured appearance in the jungle for I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

The former England rugby player, aged 44, who is married to King Charles’s niece Zara, made light jokes in the advert about his royal connections, saying: “I have friends in high places”.

In the ad, he is also mocked by his former teammate, James Haskell, about the array of medals that he wore for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.

In the video, Tindall can be seen receiving an enthusiastic welcome from Haskell, as he arrives at his house carrying a stack of Domino’s Pizza boxes.

Haskell then says: “Tinds! What a boy – and in a heli, too! Someone must have owed you a really big favour!”

Tindall replies: “Standard! You know me, mate! Friends in high places. I always deliver for you and, luckily, Domino’s always delivers on the food!”

“Calm down! What do you need, a medal?” joked Haskell.

In response, Tindall says: “What a d***”, with the end of the word cut off.

The newly released advert comes just days after Zara was announced as the face of the British-heritage brand Musto’s autumn/winter 2022 lifestyle campaign.

There is also a buzz around Mike appearing in the cast of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here in the Australian jungle next month.

Tindall and Haskell also co-present the podcast The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, and the advert is thought to be part of a tie-in with the upcoming Autumn Nations Series, reports The Telegraph.

Speaking on his podcast, Tindall admitted that he “hates” wearing his medals, saying that he feels he did nothing to achieve them “apart from being in the family”.

In 2007, he was awarded an MBE for his overall contribution to rugby, and he was also awarded two other jubilee medals.

He has previously taken part in the Channel 4 programme The Jump, as well as on Bear Grylls: Mission Survive.
