Mike Tindall has sparked speculation over a potential future royal appearance on the BBC show.

The former Rugby star, 46, and husband of Princess Anne’s daughter Zara, 44, shared a snap to Instagram that stoked frenzy.


While attending a charity golfing event, Mike posted a picture of Zara dancing with Strictly legend Antron Du Beke, 58.

The image showed the King’s niece beaming in a dance hold with the former pro dancer - and now show judge - as he flashed a winning grin at the camera.

Mike captioned the post with a woman dancing emoji and the tease: “I always said she would be great on Strictly!”

Du Beke responded with the promise: “I’ll come out of retirement!”

Naturally, the post sparked a tsunami of responses from fans who more than agreed with Mike’s assessment of Zara’s Strictly hopes.

“I would LOVE to see Zara on Strictly,” one replied excitedly.

Another enthused: “Please make this happen, we need to see it!”

Others described the potential appearance as “amazing” and “wonderful” in the lashings of encouragement from fans.

Such was their enthusiasm that fans began to speculate on who what Strictly pro dance Zara would be partnered with and even Mike also appearing on the show.

“Zara & Kai would be a great pair,” one suggested, promoting GB News superfan Kai Widdrington as an option.

Zara and Aljaz (Skorjanec) vs Mike and Dianne (Buswell). DO IT,” another demanded.

Others also related their theorising to recent suggestions that Queen Camilla’s son Tom Parker-Bowles was being lined up for a Strictly 2025 appearance.

I've heard a rumour that Tom Parker-Bowles is lined up for this year's SCD.... WOULD MUCH RATHER WATCH Zara, she's a delightful girl,” an ecstatic fan declared.

BBC producers are thought to be keen to sign Parker Bowles due to his royal connections and previous appearance on MasterChef, The Mirror reports.

A source revealed: "It would be a coup to sign someone with such a strong royal link. Maybe we could see Camilla and Charles in the audience?"

The extended Royal Family member was reportedly approached last year but discussions "never materialised".

He regularly appears as a judge on BBC's MasterChef, where viewers have become familiar with his expertise.

"Top of their wish list is MasterChef star Tom," the source explained.
