Mike Tindall has embarrassed the royal family once more, releasing a range of R-rated swimwear!

Created in collaboration with Aussie company, the Budgy Smugler, the mens swimwear line features phrases such as ”these are not my wifes” and ”nibble my nuts” on and around the wearers genitalia.

The former rugby player debuted the designs whilst competing on this years season of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here, parading around the campsite in his own pair of tiny trunks before eventually being voted off in the final four.

After royal fans and program watchers seemingly fell in love with an almost naked Mike, and his rather risque swimwear choices that left very little the imagination, this loveable larrikin has redirected the attention to a cause close to his heart, Parkinsons disease.

With help from his team from The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast, profits from each pair of budgie smugglers sold will go towards Cure Parkinson’s, to help fund their reasearch into the debilitating condition.

Over on Instagram, Mike shared an upbeat post to celebrate his new launch. Alongside a photo of the quirky designs he penned: “The team have been busy while I have been away… you can now order a very limited edition run of GBR ‘Nibble my Nuts’ and ‘These are not my wife’s’ budgies @budgysmuggleruk. All profits will go to Cure Parkinson’s (@cureparkinsons).”

Mike’s legion of fans went berserk in the comment section, with one writing: “Amazing idea!!” whilst a second noted: “Just Brilliant Mike,” followed by a red heart emoji.

”Thank you @mike_tindall12 My dad has Parkinson’s and will be 86 next year. Thank you for helping to raise money to find a cure,” gushed a third, and a fourth added: ”You were brilliant in the jungle! Really enjoyed watching!”

The former rugby player has previously discussed the devastating effect Parkinson’s disease has had on his father, who was diagnosed in 2003.

Speaking about his dad on Great Morning Britain in 2019, Mike said: ”It’s a nightmare disease because there are over 40 symptoms of what Parkinson’s can look like… people think they’re drunk or people can freeze in the middle of the street but that’s the difficult part of it.

”I was very blasé at the start, he was diagnosed in 2003. He had this tremor for a couple of years before that and being a typical bloke didn’t address the issue early enough… He was good for a long period of time and then sort of been in the last year – and the last five years – you’ve seen it catch up on him.”
