GMB: Mike Tindall talks about wife Zara's birthday
Mike Tindall admitted they "had a few" to celebrate wife Zara's recent birthday. The former rugby player was appearing on Good Morning Britain to discuss his 2024 charity Celebrity Golf Classic when host Kate Garraway broached the question.
"Appearing to cheekily slip the question in, she asked "It was our Zara's birthday 43 - oooh, that's probably got me into trouble with you at home," she joked. "Did you have a date night? Did you have a party? Did you get together with the rest of the Royals? What went on?"
Looking slightly awkward Mike responded: "She keeps telling me she was 34 so I think you got that wrong!" This led Kate to quip: "My mistake. You go with that. See if someone buys it!"
"See I'm winning just in case she's watching," he laughed before revealing what her birthday entailed. "So we had a lovely day actually, she had to ride in the morning but then we went out for lunch.
"And then we just hung out all day and then we had a few friends over for dinner. It was a very, very nice day. It's probably why I had a quieter night last night because we might have had a few the night before. So I was resting up for today."
As the youngest child of Princess Anne, Zara is the niece of King Charles although she has never adopted a Royal title.
Last week it was reported that the couple, who have three children, made a huge life decision that's filled the Monarch with "extreme joy" as it shows "their commitment".
They were previously said to be "toying with the idea" of moving to Australia. But sources have now said Zara and Mike have compromised on their plans.
Instead of moving to the other side of the world permanently, Mike and Zara will dedicate a significant amount of their time to Australia in the coming years.

The couple currently live on Princess Anne's Gloucestershire estate with their three young children - Mia, 10, Lena, five, and three-year-old Lucas.
The source added: "Mike and Zara had both been toying with the idea of moving to Australia for a while but have finally reached the decision that it wouldn’t be right to uproot their family at this time.
"However, there are plans for the family to spend more time in Australia over the coming years which includes both winter and summer holidays abroad with the children [Mia, Lena and Lucas]."
Good Morning Britain is on ITV weekdays at 6am.
