Britain’s Zara Phillips says husband Mike Tindall manscapes.
The 34-year-old former England rugby captain may appear the epitome of a macho man, but the 31-year-old royal – who is the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth – revealed her husband is partial to a male bikini-line wax when she appeared as a guest on Sky 1’s comedy sports panel show, ‘A League of Their Own’.
As the celebrity panelists – including comedian Jack Whitehall and former soccer starJamie Redknapp – discussed the subject of ‘manscaping’, host James Corden quizzed the equestrian champion about her husband’s habits – while red-faced Mike sat in the audience.
He asked: ”What about Mike? Manscaping? Does he like to keep it trim?”
Zara replied: ”Manscaping? Yep!”
The host also asked Zara about her worst physical feature, before quipping: ”I’ll tell you what I think your worst feature is – Mike Tindall. Now, I love Mike. You know I love Mike, and I’ll tell you why I love Mike – because up until you married Mike I didn’t think I had a chance with you!”
Zara – who won a silver medal in team eventing at the Olympics this past summer – married Mike in a lavish ceremony at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh last year, but admitted they haven’t had a chance to go on honeymoon yet because of their sporting careers.
She said: ”Haven’t been yet. Still waiting.”
Mike joked from the audience: ”Hey, treat ’em mean to keep ’em keen!”
