A former royal butler suggests Mike Tindall might appear on a reality television programme.

Grant Harrold, who served as King Charles and Queen Camilla's Highgrove butler between 2004 and 2011, has suggested that Mike Tindall could take on another reality television show. Speaking to OLBG, Harrold said he could see the former England rugby star appearing on either Strictly Come Dancing or the celebrity version of The Great British Bake Off.

Tindall, a member of the extended royal family, finished fourth on I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2022. Harrold believes that Tindall's strong performance on the show was due to the rare insight he provided into royal family life, which won over viewers.

If Tindall were to compete on Strictly Come Dancing, Harrold expects he could receive royal support from his mother-in-law, Queen Camilla. However, Harrold believes that not enough time has passed since I'm A Celebrity for Tindall to do another major show immediately. He stated that he believes the royal family will 'give it some time' before another appearance, though he would 'not rule it out in the future'. Harrold said he would not expect Tindall to participate in shows like Big Brother.
