Mike Tindall puts on a dapper display as he attends the star-studded Legends Of Rugby dinner

Mike Tindall cut a dapper figure as he arrived at the star-studded Legends Of Rugby dinner in London this evening.

The former England rugby ace, 44, who is married to Princess Anne’s daughter Zara, donned a jazzy checked grey suit with an open collar shirt at the lavish annual event in aid of UK charity Nordoff Robbins.

To add an extra dimension to his outfit, the former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! contestant carried a pocket square with blue and white patterns as he stepped out at the swanky Grosvenor House Hotel.

For footwear, he wore smart and well-polished black shoes, while opting to accessorise with a sophisticated watch. 

Posing up a storm on the red carpet, Mike was all smiles as he signed bottles of fizz when at the hotel.

Other celebrities at the event included former Love Island star and podcast host Sharon Gaffka and singer Mica Paris.

Speaking in 2016 ahead of that year’s event, Mike said: ‘Nordoff Robbins is a charity that delivers life-changing music therapy to people with a range of challenges, and I am truly proud to be a part of this wonderful event which raises money to help their work continue.’

Mike’s outing comes after him and his wife Zara were pictured beaming against a backdrop of bright blue skies at Saalbach in Austria during a ski trip together, in photos posted on the former rugby star’s Instagram account.

Sharing the holiday snaps, Mike wrote: ‘Amazing couple of days skiing in Saalbach,  great hospitality with fantastic people! Maybe a charity event in the pipeline??’

Their trip to the Alps comes after the pair were caught larking about down under at the Magic Millions charity event in Australia last month while their royal relatives at home were left reeling from the fallout of Prince Harry’s memoir Spare. 

Mike’s post shared a series of photos from his holiday which included a group snap of himself and Zara around a table while enjoying drinks, as well as a sweet selfie of the couple at the top of one of the slopes.

Mother-of-three Zara beamed in her reflective goggles and a purple ski jacket while carrying a rucksack.

One of the guests who joined the royal couple at lunch was Alexandra Meissnitzer, a now-retired alpine ski racer who has won three Olympic medals. 

The couple’s trip away comes after the first episode of the I’m a Celebrity star’s new podcast series, Mike Drop, was released and featured an interview between the couple with Zara in the hot seat.

At several points in the interview, Zara became emotional as her husband tapped into sensitive subjects, including how she suffers from ‘mum guilt’.

She explained she found it difficult returning to riding after having her children, Mia, eight, Lena, five, and Lucas, 18-months, saying: ‘I found it hard getting myself back to it. Mentally, you feel guilty as a mother leaving your child to go and do something else.’

In the wide-ranging interview, she revealed how, after having her eldest daughter Mia in 2014, she was determined to return to riding.

She told Mike: ‘After having Mia, I felt like my goal was to get back on a horse, I want to get back.

‘I had a good horse to come back to for your confidence and trying to – I wanted to get back for him as well. Trying to have a goal is probably something I always need. I always need goals in my life and set many goals in my life all the time.’

However she said she had struggled, saying: ‘It was hard getting your body back when you’ve been riding for 25 years, and then your body is just completely not doing that.

‘Your muscles [are] doing nothing and stretching and creating an amazing thing but it’s completely different. Trying to get your body back to where it was, I found, was hard work.’

Meanwhile she acknowledged how the couple had balanced Zara’s career with life as new parents, adding: ‘Mia was along for the ride with us as well. She was very much taken around to the shows – it was easier when we had one.’
