England legend Mike Tindall has revealed that he had to walk away from his mother-in-law Princess Anne at his wife Zara’s 30th birthday party after his trousers split.
“I love a suit. My problem with suits is I over-exaggerate dancing at weddings… I rip a lot of suits, trousers and stuff,” he explained.
“The old [expletive] drop gets me every time. I went to a wedding, ripped a suit, they were like, ‘Oh my god, what are you going to do?’ I was like, ‘Don’t worry I’ve got a spare.’ They were like, ‘Who brings a spare suit?’ Someone who rips a lot of trousers brings a spare suit.”
Mike continued: “Zara had like a 30th birthday, it was a disco 70s-themed one.
“I was dancing on the dance floor, I had like flares on, full outfit but it was quite tight, nothing ever fits – rugby player’s bum and legs – so I was dancing with my mother-in-law and I did a sl**-drop in front of my mother-in-law,” Tindall explained.
“Ripped my trousers, straight in front of her. It happened to be that my boxers that I had on at that time said ‘nibble my nuts’,” he added.
“As I’ve turned round, she’s gone, ‘I’d rather not.’ I’ve gone, ‘I’m going,’ and walked off.”
Over on Twitter, one user wrote: “Honestly the thought of Mike Tindall sl** dropping in front of Princess Anne is going to live rent free in my mind for the rest of my life.”
