Inside ITV I'm A Celebrity star Mike Tindall and wife Zara's reunion at 5-star resort

Mike and Zara Tindall are back together following his long stint in the jungle and they'll be desperate to make up for lost time.

The rugby World Cup winner has reunited with his royal wife as they make the most of the JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa and Australia's Gold Coast.

They embrace on the bridge where he could be heard saying "I've really missed you" as the pair hugged it out.

Once the interview with Ant and Dec was over, Mike and Zara would have been taken down to a series of unglamorous marquees and portacabin-type offices before posing for their photo on the I'm A Celebrity instagram.

For the next couple of hours, the ex sports star spent time undertaking medical tests and having chats with psychologists before finally getting a little luxury.

Mike - who has been married to Zara, the niece of King Charles, since 2011 - says he loved his time on I'm A Celebrity and had no regrets at all as he explained that his positive attitude helped him to overcome the challenge.

Now they've got a few days to enjoy together before they head back to the UK.

There's no doubt Zara would have made a little list of things to do and see before they jet off on the plane.

We take a little look inside their reunion...

A little less luxury

There won't be too much sympathy for the stars in their five-star £650-a-night hotel, of course.

But after ITV ditched the stunning £1,000-a-night Palazzo Versace Hotel, its base for almost two decades, it's a sacrifice they'll have to make.

It's been claimed that the move means bosses could cost less to accommodate the cast together as insiders say it is very "different to the bouji opulence of the Versace".

He'll want to make the very most of the incredible food on offer and with even breakfast costing almost 50 dollars (around £30) it's sure to hit the spot.

After slumming it in marquees in the morning after camp - fine dining in the hotel is possible and celebs have been making use of the Citrique restaurant run by Executive Chef Paul Smart.

The menu there, which can also be delivered to the suites, includes oven baked snowfish, pork and scallops and bay bug dumplings.

Mike and Zara are used to the full works - so lets hope the new hotel really delivers.

A spa situation

The JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa isn't quite the JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa right now.

That's because the spa is closed as it undergoes some major refurbishment.

Mike and Zara, like many of us, do love to spend their downtime unwinding.

But all the celebs and family will have to go elsewhere for some R&R as according to its website, the doors are shut.

Not that that's a big problem, there's plenty of choice on the Gold Coast for the pair to spend some quality time together.

Early start ahead

Mike and Zara will need to be up extra early tomorrow as he will be expected back in the jungle along with the other contestants.

They will make their way to the camp at around 5am and all the celebs will be in the studio with Ant and Dec to see the new king or queen crowned around 8.40am local time.

After lots more photos on set, Mike and Zara could then head off if the want some private time, although many of the celebrities will attend the show's wrap party.

Normally held at a local surf club on Monday night, it's a chance for all the celebs to spend one more night together before heading for home.

Filling Mike in

There's been speculation that there could be some big royal news coming (

Zara will need to catch Mike up on everything he has missed since heading down under.

There's some very iffy England rugby performances to tell him about, and of course the latest royal goings on.

Could there be something very important to discuss?

It has been claimed that King Charles could give Mike an important royal role after his time in the jungle.

Celebrity expert and director of MHP group,Greg Double suggests that Mike and Zara could replace Meghan and Harry, after they stepped down as working royals.

He told OK! Magazine : "He may be off limits to commercial brands, but his popularity could be hugely helpful to the royal brand. King Charles has often spoken about a 'slimmed down' royal operation, but could his burly nephew-in-law be providing a compelling case for a slightly broader royal family?

"He is distant enough that any misstep wouldn’t hurt the firm but close enough that he - and indeed the likeable Zara - could fill 'the normal ones' role that was so spectacularly abandoned by Harry and Meghan."

Surf's up

If Mike needs more of a water rush, he knows where to head! (

Mike may just want to kick back and relax, especially after saying goodbye to camp with the famous cyclone challenge.

But if he wants another water rush, then he's in the right place.

The Gold Coast has some of the most incredible waves in the world and people travel from all over the globe to surf on the incredible beaches.

Being just yards from the action could be too hard to resist.
