MIKE Tindall’s wife Zara has revealed the former rugby ace has been missing out on his baby son’s milestones while on I’m a Celebrity.
Mike, 44, who is married to the daughter of Princess Anne, Zara Philips, tonight received a letter from home – and heard about everything he’s missing out on.

The pair have three kids – Mia, who is eight, Lena, who is four and little Lucas, who is just one year old.
Ex-rugby star Mike was forced to leave them behind when he swapped Gloucestershire for the jungle earlier this month.
But tonight he was able to catch up with what his kids have been up to – and was told he was missing out on some major milestones.
The campmates took it turn to read each other’s notes from loved ones to each other, with Sue Cleaver reading out Mike’s letter from Zara.
It read: “Hi my love, we are missing you so much and really needing some papa hugs, but glad you’re sharing them with your campmates.
“The girls are enjoying sports and throwing themselves into everything at the moment and the little man is loving life, smashing it up, learning some new words.”
It comes after we revealed a pal of Mike has claimed Tindall is tackling jungle life on I’m A Celeb because he needs the money.
Sports presenter Alex Payne said that his public speaking work had dried up during the pandemic.
Alex, 42, told The Sun, that Mike was not as well off as people would think — despite being married into the Royal Family through the King’s niece.
He said: “It’s not like he’s sitting there in a pile of money.
“He’s a guy who’s in the public eye and that’s where he earns his money.”
