Zara isn't the only person linked to the royal family who is being rumoured for this year's show as Queen Camilla's son, Tom Parker, has reportedly been approached by producers for the upcoming series. Meanwhile Camilla previously revealed she herself would love to take part in the dancing series during a visit to the Royal Voluntary Service last year. She said: 'I would love to do it because I've always wanted to tap dance. So in my dotage perhaps it's something I could take up.' Anton started as a pro dancer on the show when it premiered in 2004 and joined the judging panel as a permanent member in 2021. It comes after Mike gave royal fans a sneak-peek at his breakfast date with his 'motivational advisor' Zara before they teamed up for a charity golf event. Zara celebrated her 44th birthday on May 15, with the former rugby player marking the occasion with a sweet snap of the pair on Instagram. The photo showed Mike and Zara, who wed in 2011, lovingly gazing into each other's eyes at a celebrity golf tournament at The Belfry Hotel & Resort last year.

She's even let me play golf on her birthday!' He was referring to this year's edition of the charity golf event in Sutton Coldfield, as Mike and Zara made their way to The Belfry for the Celebrity Golf Classic that typically coincides with the royal's birthday. On Friday, Mike shared a second photograph on Instagram that showed him and Zara at a diner, wearing sporty ensembles while enjoying a hearty breakfast of eggs, beans, and sausages. In his caption, Mike revealed his 'motivational advisor' Zara was giving him some 'final pieces of advice' before tee-off. While Zara and Mike were both wearing dark sport jackets, emblazoned with the logo of his charity event, the typically stylish royal finished her look with a pair of white shorts and matching sneakers. Meanwhile, Mike's printed golf shorts featured a bold print of peacock feathers in a sartorial choice that tickled his followers. He quickly followed his post up with a sweet snap of Mike and Zara on the golf course that appeared to have been taken after the 18th hole was played. Mike gushed 'one of us [is] more photogenic than the other' as he marked a 'picture perfect day at The Belfry' on the social media platform.

You have the shorts babe now you go be a peacock!!??' 'Can't believe you're allowed those shorts,' another wrote. 'Lovely to see such a happy couple and down to earth.' It comes after the former Olympic equestrian shared a cheeky tale from the early days of her romance with Mike. Recalling a dinner date in 2003, Zara, who has no royal title, revealed their flirtation took an unexpectedly bold turn, as per The Sun. 'He asked me for a kiss,' she laughed. 'And I said, 'If you get naked, I'll give you a kiss.' 'So he got naked, I gave him a kiss, and then... well, anyway.' Zara, the daughter of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips, recalled one night when Mike's partying got the better of him. Mike and Zara high-five during the Mike Tindall Celebrity Golf Classic at the Belfry Golf & Resort Hotel in Sutton Coldfield Zara looked typically stylish in her black sport jacket, white shorts, and a white golf cap. She accessorised with her engagement ring and a pair of brown sunglasses Mike and Zara on the golf course at the Belfry hotel as the former England rugby player wore printed golf shorts featuring a bold print of peacock feathers in a sartorial choice that tickled his followers 'He was so drunk he passed out and I had to leave him there,' she said. 'One of my mates had to come and pick him up. I can't move a 20-stone rugby player when he's out cold!' Zara and Mike's marriage has grown into a famously solid union. The couple, who wed in 2011, now share three children and regularly appear at both sporting and royal events. However, King Charles' niece initially thought the English athlete was a bit 'boring' after their first meeting at the Rugby World Cup in Sydney, Australia, in 2003. Mike responded to Zara's admission she found him 'boring' during an appearance on Good Morning Britain earlier today, when he told Kate Garraway and Adil Ray 'she's probably gone the other way on her thoughts'. 'No, I think the boring chat was the first time we met and I'd just been dropped from the Rugby World Cup semi-final so I probably really wasn't in the mood at that point. 'I would hope that I've made up for it and she's probably gone the other way on her first thoughts.' It comes after Zara took part in an equestrian trial last weekend, with her family gathered to show their support. Peter Phillips' daughters Savannah, 14, and Isla, 13, took selfies with their cousin Mia Tindall, 11 - who was on hand to cheer on her mother - as they took in the fifth and final day at the MARS Badminton Horse Trials on Sunday. Looking sporty and casual, Savannah opted for a slouchy quarter-zip with shorts, and wore her wavy hair down, while her sister Isla was trendy in a Von Dutch cap and grey top. Elsewhere, little Mia was adorable as ever in a chic white shirt and hat, teamed with a fun patterned skirt. Mike and Zara share a sweet moment at the tournament, one day after the royal turned 44 The kids clearly enjoyed some girl time as they were spotted chatting up a storm in the stands. Their father Peter, 47 - who shares Savannah and Isla with his ex Autumn Kelly - looked after the royal cousins with his girlfriend Harriet Sperling, who looked summery and glam in a white and navy patterned dress. Meanwhile, Princess Anne's son looked ready for every weather in a pinstripe button-down, gilet and a cap - along with aviator shades. In one sweet father-daughter bonding moment, Isla could be seen huddling up to her dad for a cuddle. The family was out to support Zara, who looked to be in high spirits as she collected a revered accolade at the event. The mother-of-three beamed as she posed with other attendees in Gloucestershire. Radiating sporty casual, the daughter of Princess Anne dressed for the warmer weather in wide-leg jeans and a blue cropped jacket, adorned with golden buttons. She kept her blonde tresses out of her face with a ponytail, and looked excited to chat with others at event - even being snapped giggling at something. Keeping her look practical yet classy, the mother-of-three donned simple white trainers. For her make-up, Zara opted for a fresh-faced visage that accentuated her eyes, and kept accessories minimal.

Third annual Tom Parker charity football match takes place at Bromley FC
The Tom Parker charity football match held at Bromley FC has raised funds for a brain tumour awareness charity. The third annual Tom Parker celebrity charity football match took place at Bromley FC on Saturday, May 11. The event was in aid of 'Ahead of The Game', the brain tumour awareness charity founded by Dave Bolton. Aleks leads players onto the pitch, inspiring all in attendance (Image: Ahead of The Game) Kelsey Parker, who is expecting her third child, welcomed a number of celebrities who participated in the event. Some of the stars included Scott Thomas, Ryan Thomas, Finley Tapp, Ronnie Vint, Dan Osborne, Alex Bain, Jaden Ladega, and Juhaim Choudhury. Team Parker, managed by boxing legend Derek Chisora, faced off against Team Grove Gallery, managed by Big John Fisher. The match ended in a 3-0 victory for Team Parker. The day was made even more special by the presence of The Wanted's Siva Kaneswaran, who was there to honour the legacy of his late bandmate Tom Parker. The event was not just about football, as there were also bouncy castles, face painting, hair braiding, and ice cream vans for families to enjoy. The highlight of the day was the story of Aleks, a young boy and football fan diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive bone cancer. Aleks was diagnosed after a minor accident at a soft play centre. He is currently receiving treatment at The Royal Marsden. Aleks was honoured as the mascot for the day, walking out proudly alongside Andy Johnson, former Crystal Palace and England striker, and Dave Bolton, the event's founder and a long-term brain tumour survivor. Although Aleks had to leave before the end of the game, Andy Johnson personally drove to visit him and gifted him his brand-new football boots, promising a future kick-about with some of his footballing friends. An event spokesperson said: "If we can raise money, raise awareness, and put smiles on the faces of children like Aleks, then it's a charity day Bromley will never forget." The event was attended by a number of celebrities, including Scott Thomas, Ryan Thomas, Finley Tapp, Ronnie Vint, Dan Osborne, Alex Bain, Jaden Ladega, and Juhaim Choudhury.

He explained he injured himself while playing padel — a fast-growing racquet sport similar to tennis. 'So today I've unfortunately had to pull out of the Tom Parker charity match,' Casey said. 'I've gone over on my ankle playing padel funnily enough, but it's for a great charity and a great foundation. So I will put the link here. Best of luck everyone and go donate. Sorry for having to pull out.' Despite being sidelined, Casey urged his followers to support the cause and continue donating, highlighting the importance of the event and its mission. Tom's widow Kesley Parker looked radiant as she cradled her growing baby bump during her annual charity football match in memory of her late husband, Tom Parker. Held at Bromley F.C. stadium in Kent today, the event marked the third Tom Parker Celebrity Football Match and once again raised funds for brain tumour research - a cause that has become deeply personal for Kelsey and her family. Kelsey, boyfriend Will, and her children Aurelia and Bodhi all wore matching white t-shirts emblazoned with heart-shaped 'Love Tom' logos, honouring the beloved The Wanted singer, who passed away in 2022 from an inoperable brain tumour. In an emotional interview with The Standard, Kelsey said: "Me being with Will and having a child with Will would never take away the love that we have for Tom and the love that even Will has for Tom, because Will ultimately loves Tom's kids." She added: "It's about us as a family and Will's a massive part of their life now." Kelsey Parker reveals heartbreaking way boyfriend has stepped in to do things Tom Parker couldn't for kids after hitting back at trolls Kelsey said the match has become a special day for her children to honour and "remember" their dad. Reflecting on Tom's diagnosis, Kelsey spoke passionately about the need for greater awareness and funding: She said: "When you get diagnosed like Tom did, it rocked our whole world and our family to know how underfunded brain tumours are. "Just raising that awareness will go such a long way." This year's star-studded match featured appearances from celebrity players including Ryan and Scott Thomas, former Towie star Dan Osborne, Love Island alumni Finley Tapp and Ronnie Vint, as well as Coronation Street's Alex Bain and EastEnders actor Jaden Ladega. The family-friendly event also included food stalls, raffles, and live performances. Kelsey continues to be a tireless advocate for brain tumour awareness, saying: "Even talking about it now, people have no clue that brain tumours are the biggest killer for under 40s and children, and we only get one per cent of national funding. That's it." She added: "Tom left me this legacy to carry on. He did so much in his 18 months of getting sick that now it's my time to say, you know what? I'll continue shining a light on it for him. "It's a big responsibility but I'm doing it all for him. "Because what we went through as a family - you wouldn't wish that on your worst enemy. So now it's all about just helping other people."
