"It seemed like she enjoyed his rugby boy banter.”
After Pulp the couple and their pals descended on the Big Top where they watched the 80s synth pop icons The Human League.
Mike was spotted buying more drinks and the loved-up pair partied until midnight.
His time in the jungle on ITV reality show I'm a Celebrity last year reportedly earned him £150,000.
Sports presenter Alex Payne said that the ex-England rugby captain’s public speaking work had dried up during the Covid pandemic.
This led Mike to consider going into the jungle purely for the pay check, according to sources.
Alex, 42, told The Sun, that Mike was not as well off as people would think — despite being married into the Royal Family.
However, experts believe Zara rakes in around £1.1million a year for her brand deals and ambassador work.
She teamed up with Land Rover in 2006 and became one of their official ambassadors.
Her royal connections undeniably strengthened the brand, with the late Queen herself known to own 30 of the motors herself.
The luxury company honoured Zara with the first set of keys to a Range Rover Evoque in 2011 and offered her a women's scholarship for training in engineering
And Mike has made a couple of his brand deals himself - albeit with slightly less prestigious companies.
