However, I’m A Celebrity star Mike admitted he felt some ‘frustration’ over his seat. Speaking on his podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, Mike explained: “You’re in the hottest spot, but it’s happening all around the corner where you can’t see! You do have a front row seat, but..”

He then added: “It was unbelievable being sat there, but frustrating.”

Meanwhile, Mike said that they had watched much of the ceremony on a TV screen placed on one of Westminster Abbey’s pillars.

Mike and Zara, who is Princess Anne’s daughter, also attended the coronation concert on Sunday, May 7. The concert saw a string of musical icons perform at Windsor Castle. But it seems it was Zara and Mike who stole the show for some viewers!

It was unbelievable being sat there, but frustrating.

Many fans noticed the couple dancing along to the music as they enjoyed a night out without their three children. One fan gushed on Twitter: “Zara and Mike Tindall always have a great time celebrating.”

Another wrote: “Mike Tindall is a total ledge, that is couple goals right there.” Someone else added: “I want to go out dancing with Zara and Mike Tindall!”

Appearing on Good Morning Britain days after the coronation ceremony and concert, Mike spoke about his antics during the weekend. Mike and Zara were seen enjoying a late night out the night before the coronation service.

Host Kate Garraway asked: “You had a late night before the coronation didn’t you? That speaks of royal confidence to me, before the coronation, you went out for dinner with other members of the royal family, then you two carried on!”

Mike replied: “Well, it was quite nice to have a little date night! When you’ve got three children, it’s not always the easiest to get out and just have a drink together. So it was quite nice to have a little bit of time together where we could just go out and have a drink and have a chat.”
