Kourtney Kardashian's son enjoys his first visit to the plastic surgeon... aged 21 months!

By Alanah Eriksen


Looking after my boy: Kourtney Kardashian protectively covered her son Mason's head as she took him into a plastic surgeon's office in New York to look at his nose, which had a bandage on it


As part of the Kardashian empire she can afford the best healthcare for her young son.

But it seems that Kourtney may have slightly overreacted when her exuberant son Mason, 21 months fell over.

The glamorous star of Keeping Up With The Kardashian's was seen hurrying in to keep an appointment... with a plastic surgeon.


Sucking on his dummy, the usually-energetic toddler was sporting a bandage on the bridge of his nose as his mother, 32, carried him in New York yesterday.

While a certain amount of concern is natural for any mother, a visit to a cosmetic surgeon seems like somewhat of an over-reaction.

Mummy's boy: Kourtney covered her son's head with a blanket as she left the plastic surgeon with her boyfriend Scott Disick


The pair were joined by Mason's father Scott Disick, 28. Kourtney, 32, had earlier covered her son's head with a blanket as she carried him out of the couple's hotel.

But with the Kardashians who document the minutiae of their glamorous lives for a voracious audience, it's likely the worrying episode will end up on our screens in the none too distant future.

Thankfully, the youngster appeared to have perked up last night, as Kourtney and Scott were later seen on a dinner date, filming for their reality show, Kourtney & Kim take New York.

Active: Kourtney yesterday posted this cute snap of her playing with Mason in Central Park earlier this month


The star changed from a cute kaftan-style dress and ballet flats into a black and white printed dress and black heels.

The always-suave Scott donned a shiny blue suit.

The doting mother had earlier posted photos of her and her son playing happily on a playground in New York earlier this month.

Glammed up: The couple were later seen on a date in front of the cameras for their reality show, Kourtney & Kim Take New York


And never one to be upstaged, Kim Kardashian posted a photo on her blog yesterday of her carrying Mason in her massive Tote bag, while their sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner look on.

The snap was taken in Bora Bora where the family holidayed recently for their parents, Kris and Bruce Jenner‘s vow renewal on their 20th anniversary of marriage.

Kim said: 'Mason was playing by my feet at dinner in Bora Bora and crawled into the back of my bag, so I took him over to show Kourt! How funny!?'

From Mum to chic: Kourtney changed from her Kaftan-style dress and ballet flats into a black and white printed dress and heels


The Kardashian and Jenner clan are in New York for Fashion Week and supported the youngest sister, Kylie, 14, as she made her catwalk debut on Monday.

She was modelling in Avril Lavigne's line Abbey Dawn.

Avril is dating Kylie's half-brother Brody Jenner.

Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian and her husband Lamar Odom have appeared in an advertisement together for Wonderful Pistachios.

It shows Lamar playfully stealing a nut off Khloe and her saying 'that was mine'.

A voiceover jokes: 'Khloe and Lamar, do it as foreplay'.

You couldn't get away with THAT in the Commons! Sally Bercow reveals a little too much in a plunging dress

By Alanah Eriksen


Revealing: Sally Bercow flashed her bra when reviewing the news headlines on ITV's This Morning today


She has already embarrassed her husband on national television and Sally Bercow is showing no signs of holding back.

The Celebrity Big Brother star, 41, flashed her bra and a lot of leg in a loose-fitting blue dress as she appeared on ITV's This Morning today.

And then she took her attention-seeking to Parliament, hauling fellow Celebrity Big Brother contestant Paddy Doherty back to her home there.


Earlier the pair had gushed about each other on the morning show.

Sally, the wife of House of Commons Speaker, John Bercow, tweeted a picture of herself with the My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star grinning over coffee.

They were near the couple's apartment in Westminster.

She wrote: 'Paddy so excited to come round to mine for coffee #awwwbless. Really lovely to see him :)'

Bemused onlookers tweeted about the unlikely duo afterwards, with one saying: 'Just spotted Paddy from #cbb #gypsywedding in Parliament with Sally Bercow. Winner of most bizarre celebrity pairing surely?'

Best friends: Sally posted this picture of her and Paddy sharing a coffee in parliament after they appeared on the show

Leggy: Sally donned a fitting black dress on Monday and the same black heels to raise money for charity


Sally and Paddy were reunited for the first time since she was voted off the show last month.

The formed a special bond in the luxury Elstree pad, often having in-depth chats on the couch, and invited each other to spend time at each other's homes.

Sally has even said she would like to take part in the reality show Wife Swap with Paddy.

The mother-of-three did the news review on This Morning before she joined Paddy on the couch with hosts Holly Willouhby and Phillip Schofield.

Viewers took to Twitter to lambast her dress sense, with one saying: 'Sally bercow looks like she's just fallen out of a nightclub on itv. Yuk.'

Another said: 'Should act as a warning to all teenagers: Stick on too much slap and you too could look as ridiculous as Nick Ferrari or Sally Bercow.'

Sally and Paddy looked extremely cosy on the ITV couch with the Irishman greeting his friend affectionately.

Gushing: Sally couldn't hide her excitement about reunited with Paddy and shared the meeting with her followers


He laughed: 'You saw me touch her leg there? I have an awful habit of touching people. One of these days I'm going to get a punch 'You're touching me woman.'

Philip asked if Sally would still visit Paddy.

She said 'Yeah I hope to, is the invite still on Pad?' to which he replied 'Yeah, a million times'.

Sally added: 'The only reason I was sad to go out after just a week was I'd formed such a great bond with Paddy and who would have though it? We got on really well.'

Paddy admitted: 'When she left, I swear on my life, I said "The woman I just got into, she's going. Why couldn't it be Bobby?" You know what i mean?' Because Bobby was like "I'm in love with myself".'

Happy families: Sally with Paddy and his son outside the ITV studios this morning


Sally drew cringes from the Big Brother audience when she immediately launched into a less-than-ladylike conversation with Amy Childs about intimate beauty treatments, just hours after entering the house.

She also admitted her husband was vehemently against her doing the show and told her fellow housemates she made him do the household chores.

Before entering the house she apparently told a friend she lured her husband on a dirty weekend to convince him to let her do the show.

Peek-a-boob! Kim Kardashian shows some skin in a cut-out dress... as sister Kendall, 15, debuts on the catwalk

By Sophie Forbes and Georgina Littlejohn


Revealing: Kim Kardashian shows off her curves in a silver cut out mini dress as she leaves her hotel in New York


She's never been shy about showing off that bootylicious body of hers, whether in a designer bikini, clingy trousers or a sexy and slinky dress.

And even now she's a married woman, Kim Kardashian clearly has no intention of toning it down.

The reality TV star was snapped in a revealing cut-out dress as she and her sister Kourtney left their Manhattan hotel to go and support their half-sister Kendall's catwalk debut at New York Fashion Week.

All that glitters: Kim's daring dress sparkled and set off her creamy complexion perfectly


Kim, 30, looked sensations in the glittery dress, that showed off her smooth creamy complexion, and which she teamed with towering black heels.

Kourtney, 32, was in complete contrast to her younger sister in a black and green leather dress, which, although was somewhat more understated than Kim, looked very funky in the dress that showed off her curves.

Funky: Kourtney followed Kim out of the hotel in an unusual black and green dress that showed off her curves


They joined several girlfriends including Kim's new sister-in-law Kaela Humphries and headed to the Trump Tower to see Kendall, 15, take part in the Sherri Hill evening catwalk show.

And they clapped and cheered her on as she strutted her stuff in a short white fringed dress before joining her older siblings backstage for some congratulatory hugs.

We're so proud of you! Kim, Kourtney and Kaela clap and cheer Kendall as she makes her way down the catwalk

Rising star: Kim and Kourtney went to cheer on Kendall Jenner on the catwalk for Sherri Hill

You go girl! Kim and Kourtney can't hide their sisterly pride


Kim and Kourtney have already been regular fixtures at New York Fashion Week and have taken in shows by Vera Wang, who made Kim's Wedding dresses.

They also attended a show by Rachel Roy as well as supporting their other sister Kylie as she walked the runway in the show presented by Avril Lavigne, the girlfriend of their brother Brody Jenner.

State sister: Kim has previously been criticised by her parents for putting too much pressure on Kendall to do catwalk


Meanwhile, Kim's love of primping and preening has rubbed off on her new husband Kris Humphries.

A few days ago he decided to indulge in a little pampering session of his own - and went to get a mani-pedi.

Nerves? but the teen looked excited to be heading down the runway as she was groomed backstage

Catwalk queen: Kendall dazzled in an array of colourful designs


Joined by Kaela, who was a bridesmaid at his wedding to Kim, Kris hit up a nail salon in Mid Town New York.

Kris looked very relaxed as he reclined in a massage chair and had his hand and feet seen to by a technician.

Isn't she stunning? Kim stands proudly next to Kendall as she goes to meet her backstage


The whole experience was filmed by cameras for the Keeping Up With The Kardashian's spin-off show, Kim and Kourtney Take New York, which is currently filming it's second season.

So far it has documented Kim and Kris' move to New York following their lavish wedding last month and is currently following the girls as they embark on a busy week of events for New York Fashion Week.

Scrub scrub: Kris looked very comfortable as he got his feet tended to at the salon

Sibling support: Kris later attended the Svedka presents Popluxe fashion show, where his sister Kaela made her catwalk debut

The Saturdays' Rochelle makes a stylish exit in stunning bodycon dress while Vanessa falls head over heels for Aston

By Sarah Fitzmaurice


Stylish step: While Vanessa was falling over her bandmate Rochelle Wiseman made sure she made a stylish exit in a champagne rose body con dress with cut out detail as she stepped out with her beau Marvin


She is the only single member of The Saturdays while he very much the bachelor of JLS.

But it seemed that last night Vanessa White couldn’t help but falling head over heels for Aston Merrygold, quite literally.

It appeared that Vanessa, 21, had over-indulged as she left Movida.


Her exit was in stark contrast to her bandmate Rochelle Wiseman who showed off her killer curves to devastating effect.

The Saturdays singer stepped out with her hunky boyband boyfriend Marvin Humes in a champagne rose bandage dress with cut out detail which emphasised her perfect curves.

And while the dress looked remarkably similar to an expensive Herve Leger design it was actually by Celeb Boutique and cost £149.

Rochelle, 22 teamed the daring figure-caressing dress, which complemented her skin tone, with a pair of high heels and her favourite quilted cream Chanel handbag.

Falling at his feet? Vanessa White made a particularly messy exit from Movida nightclub last night and literally fell into Aston's lap


While his girlfriend went all out in the glamour stakes Marvin looked dressed down in comparison and was dressed in a pair of trousers and a polo shirt.

Given that they are a match made in pop music heaven Rochelle and Marvin united their respective bands for a night out at Roka restaurant, before heading onto Movida nightclub.

And it was there where the group partied the evening away helping Niall Horan, of One Direction fame, celebrate his 18th birthday.

Worse for wear? It seemed that The Saturdays singer had overindulged that evening and had to be lead by a number of people to the car but she fell over getting into it

Lost your balance? Vanessa fell head first into Aston's lap losing her shoe in the process

Forgotten something? Vanessa's shoe lay by the side of the car after she lost it falling into the taxi home


Earlier in the evening The Saturdays girls launched their very own brand of nail polish in conjunction with nail experts Fashionista Cosmetics.

The group then made their way to Movida where they joined Niall and some of his bandmates for an eventful evening, with Vanessa appearing to overindulge in the festivities.

Nice dress: Rochelle showed off her gorgeous curves in the stunning dress while Marvin opted for a more casual look in a polo shirt and a pair of trousers

Boys will be boys: JB and Aston of JLS fame joined Marvin and the Saturdays girls for dinner at Roka restaurant before heading to Movida

Good start: Vanessa had started the evening off well but appeared worse for wear by the end of the evening


Liam Payne helped him to celebrate his birthday and was joined by his girlfriend and backing dancer Danielle Peazer.

The couple, who have been dating since last December were seen leaving the club hand in hand before climbing into a taxi heading for home.

Coming of age: The group headed to Niall Horan of One Direction's birthday party at Movida and Niall's bandmate Zayn was on hand to help celebrate


Cute as a button: Liam Payne and his girlfriend dancer Danielle Peazer and Jensen Button also joined the celebrations


Zayn Malik also made and appearance but Harry Styles, who is just 17-years-old was nowhere to be seen as the band left the party.

Formula One racer Jensen Button also popped into the party.

The Saturdays Una Healy expecting a little 'scrum' with rugby player Ben Foden

By Emily Sheridan


Baby joy: The Saturdays Una Healy and her rugby player boyfriend Ben Foden, pictured last month, are expecting their first child together


It was just six months ago England rugby star Ben Foden declared he wanted 'lots of children' with his pop star girlfriend Una Healy.

So it's just as well the couple have announced they are expecting their first baby together.

The Saturdays singer, 29, has revealed she is just under three months pregnant.


The Irish star told the Daily Mirror: 'I’m really happy! It was totally unexpected, but me and Ben are really excited.'

Healy made the announcement as the father-to-be is currently in New Zealand with the England rugby team for the World Cup.

In a group statement, her bandmates Rochelle Wiseman, Vanessa White, Mollie King and Frankie Sandford said: 'We’re so excited for Una! We can’t wait to have a sixth Saturday.

'Ben and Una are going to be fab parents.'

Playing it coy: Healy's baby bump was hidden under frilly detail in her madamrage.com dress as she left ITV studios last week


On Wednesday, Healy tweeted she was briefly popping home to Tipperary to visit her parents - presumably to tell them they're were going to be grandparents.

Healy and Foden, 26, started dating in 2008 when his agent approached her on the rugby player's behalf.

She said in 2009: 'Ben's agent got in touch with my agent who then sent me an email asking if I'd like to meet with him.

‘I really thought it was some kind of joke. It certainly wasn't the way I expected to meet a guy.

Waiting for a sixth member: Healy's bandmates (L-R) Frankie Sandford, Rochelle Wiseman, Vanessa White and Mollie King are excited


'I was the only single girl in the band for ages - I always hated getting asked about it, so it was a nice surprise to have someone get in touch like that when I was least expecting it.'

In March, Foden admitted he was planning to ask Healy to marry him.

He said: 'I am planning to go down on one knee during the next few weeks. It won't come as a total surprise because we've been discussing marriage for some time. It will happen and I want lots of children.'

The Saturdays are currently No.3 in the UK charts with their dance anthem All Fired Up.

Off with his head: Damning footage of Zara's Mike Tindall in nightclub as he kisses and flirts with blonde

-CCTV films shows buxom girl pulling his face towards her bosom
-England's newlywed captain rapped for 'unbecoming behaviour'

By Richard Shears


Headlock: The mystery blonde pulls Mike Tindall's shaven head towards her bosom at the Altitude club in New Zealand where some England team-mates relaxed


England rugby captain Mike Tindall, the newest 'member' of the extended Royal Family, DID cuddle a beautiful blonde in a nightclub - and there's 12 embarrassing minutes of security camera footage to prove it.

The CCTV clip emerged today as the England team rallied behind their captain and the boss of a nightclub softened his earlier denials of a 'Tindall grope' by admitting that it could have happened without him or his staff seeing it.

The footage shows a buxom, long-haired blonde holding the back of Tindall's shaven head and seemingly pulling his face down towards her bosom in the dim lighting of a New Zealand nightclub on a rowdy night out during the World Cup.

Hugger: World Cup captain Tindall closes in on the mystery blonde as he heads towards the exit


She also has her lips very close to his head as he bows forward. Other parts of the the video show Tindall with his left arm around the woman, who has her back to the camera, and they appear to be kissing.

The footage was released by a man who claims to be a bouncer. Facing the camera as he 'presents' the video, he criticises the England captain for his 'unbecoming' behaviour, adding that he 'felt' for the Queen and Tindall's bride of six weeks, Zara.

The video shows Tindall talking animatedly with the blonde at the bar and she then has a drink before leaning forward to kiss Tindall.

The pair are then joined by a brunette who also moves in very close to the rugby star, her hands running up and down the sides of his body.

Touching: Tindall gets up front and personal with the buxom blonde at the bar

Face to face: Another girl and Tindall have an intimate chat at the bar where later he was seen cuddling her blonde friend


Outside the club, another security camera catches the couple embracing one another and later she is with a group, including Tindall, who leave the doorway and walk away out of sight of the camera.

Alarm bells went off when the CCTV footage was posted on YouTube today by 'pinksnz' and shortly after word got around that it showed the newly-married captain in the arms of a party girl it was removed from the social networking site.

But by then the evidence had been revealed.

The England club management had issued a soft denial after claims of Tindall's flirtatious behaviour were first aired, with a spokesman insisting that 'like all the lads, he plays for England with a massive amount of passion and he was relaxing after a tough match', against Argentina, which England won.

Despite captaining England in their opening pool B victory, Tindall will not play in Sunday's clash against Georgia in Dunedin, though it is unclear if he has been dropped or is merely being rested against weaker opposition.

Scrum: New Royal and England rugby captain Mike Tindall grabs Dylan Hartley and Chris Ashton as they party at the Altitude bar in New Zealand's south island


After Saturday's game, the team made their way to the Altitude night club in the South Island lakeside town of Queenstown.

Part of the night's entertainment was a dwarf-racing competition in which a team of 'little people' raced across the bar with bungy cords around their waists to see who could complete the 'course' the fastest.

Drinks flowed and, according to one Facebook post from Lewis Norman, the England players were 'legends rocking it.'

The damaging video footage, which flies in the face of denials from the England team, its management, and the Altititude Club that anything untoward had gone on between Tindall and the mystery blonde woman, was introduced by a man who said he was a bouncer.

In a gruff voice, he attacked Tindall for what he said was his 'unbecoming behaviour'.

The un-named man said that no-one was going to make a cent out of the video but he was posting it so that people could make up their own minds about what they saw and could pass their own judgement.

'Mr Tindall,' said the bouncer, interrupting the playing of the video showing Tindall and the blonde at the bar, 'your behaviour was that of someone unbecoming, especially to someone such as the Queen and Zara Philips.

'I do feel for them. Mr Tindall, let me give you a word - in my country it means your word completely, you don't break it for anyone.

'You gave your word to God, Queen and country.'

He said the player had come to his country of New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup and had behaved in an unbecoming manner for an ambassador of his his own country.

Miss Phillips – or Mrs Tindall as she now prefers to be known in private – declined to comment on the allegations yesterday.

The former world champion three-day eventer, who has high hopes of representing her country in next year’s Olympics, was competing in Ireland and will not return to the home the couple share in Cheltenham next week.

But her spokesman confirmed that she would still travel as planned to New Zealand to see her husband mid-way through the tournament. Sources say she is expected in two weeks’ time.

The feisty 30-year-old has discussed the incident with Tindall in an emotional telephone call, although she is understood to be standing by him.

‘Zara is like her mother – outspoken, fiery and very, very feisty. She adores Mike but won’t take this lying down and will no doubt feel utterly humiliated by what has happened,’ said a source.

The couple decided to put off having a honeymoon for a year or more due to their respective sporting commitments, particularly this month’s Rugby World Cup.
The Mail understands that most of the squad went to The Pub on The Wharf, a waterfront bar in Queenstown, to watch Wales play South Africa on Sunday night.

While many of them went home around 11pm local time, a small group, including Tindall, decided to go on to the Altitude bar.

The ‘rather grotty’ student-style bar was selling vodka shots for £2 a go and had hired a team of male dwarfs to ‘entertain’ its customers.

Pictures posted on Facebook show players including prop Dan Cole, hooker Steve Thompson, second row Louis Deacon, full back Ben Foden, centre Shontayne Hape, fly-half Toby Flood, flankers Tom Croft and Lewis Moody and number eight Nick Easter at the bar.

In one snap a laughing Tindall can be seen throwing himself playfully on top of team-mates Dylan Hartley and Chris Ashton while in others players including Cole and Thompson are mock-wrestling with two dwarves.

Another photograph shows Flood, Croft and Moody posing with a blonde fan. Cole and Thompson can also be seen in a second picture with their arms around two girls, one blonde and one brunette. One shows Cole, Thompson, Deacon, Foden, Hartley and Hape posing with two brunettes and two blondes, one of whom is also seen holding on to Easter in another snap.

There is no suggestion that Tindall left the bar with the girl concerned but his alleged behaviour is unlikely to endear himself to either Zara or her notoriously irritable mother, the Princess Royal.

The photographs will, undoubtedly, also come as a something of a shock to Zara’s fellow rugby Wags –known as Scrummies.

Although they are back home in England, a number of them will be joining their partners later in the tournament.

Foden has the most high profile partner, Una Healy, of girlband The Saturdays, who was on his arm at Tindall and Zara’s wedding. She has just announced she is expecting their first child.

Moody, who is also photographed in a group with a female fan, has been married to interior designer Annie since 2006, and the couple, who live in Leicestershire and run a property company, have a son, Dylan, three.

New Zealand-born Hape is married to Liana, a dancer who has performed with Shaggy, Pink and Natalie Imbruglia. The couple have two sons and one daughter.

Ashton has a live-in girlfriend of three years, Melissa, a dental nurse. She will be following the team in a rented motorhome with Ashton’s mother and sister, he has revealed.

Rich Deane, the Altitude Bar manager, maintained that the players had been perfectly well behaved. In a posting on his Facebook site, he wrote: ‘Firstly there was no dwarf-throwing – that’s just not cool! Secondly there was no scandal by any of the English rugby players that we saw. They were great lads, not throwing the midgets, it was all light-hearted good-humoured fun!’

But sources close to the England camp told the Mail: ‘Rugby players have always been renowned for playing hard and drinking even harder. But we are in the era of the professional sportsman, when players are earning huge amounts in sponsorship, and this is the World Cup.

‘It is the last thing Martin [Johnson, manager] will want, particularly after making such a play of treating his players like adults.’

Tindall is set to be rested for England’s second match, against Georgia on Sunday, but the decision has nothing to do with his weekend antics.

Booze, dwarves, jelly wrestling... but what will their wives think of their rowdy night out?

The sticky floors, neon lights and garish posters advertising £2-a-shot vodka deals and Friday night ‘jelly wrestling and strip pillow fighting’ raises one simple question.

What will the wives and girlfriends of England’s World Cup rugby squad make of their choosing to party in such a place?

Queenstown, towards the south-west of New Zealand’s South Island, is a party town and something of a mecca for gap-year students attracted by the area’s extreme sports, as well as its lively nightlife.

The centre of the town, situated on Lake Wakatipu, is made up of just half a dozen interlocking streets but boasts dozens of all-night drinking dens – including Altitude.

Cowboy: Louis Deacon poses with a dwarf dressed in a cowboy hat and the colours of the Irish flag painted on his face


Widely considered to be the most rowdy (and therefore busiest) of the lot, it is part of the Base youth hostel where for just £12 you get bed, breakfast and a free drink at the bar.

The bar itself is long, dark, dank – and ‘frankly grotty’, said one recent visitor – with a sticky floor smelling permanently of stale beer.

The only source of light comes from a handful of neon spots and a back-lit bar while thudding dance music blares out both night and day.

Cheap drink deals are clearly the big sell: $25 (£13) for three Jägerbombs, a potent cocktail that is mixed by dropping a shot of Jägermeister into a glass of Red Bull energy drink, and two for $10 (£5) on any spirits. On the night the England team was there, vodka was being promoted at just $4 (£2) a shot.

Then there is the ‘entertainment’.

Among the highlights this week are ladies-only jelly wrestling – which involves scantily clad women climbing into a paddling pool filled with jelly – and strip pillow-fighting.

Guests can also participate in leprechaun bar wars, and so-called midget-curling, which apparently involves pushing a dwarf along the ground in order to reach a circular target in an imitation of the Olympic sport.

When our investigator went to the bar on Wednesday, bar staff had been strictly ordered not to talk about the England team’s night out, although it was clear that a lot of money had been spent.

At 11pm, our investigator saw the tables were cleared away for a game of horizontal bungee, where customers race each other with a bungee cord strapped to their backs.

Both male and female participants were encouraged to take their clothes off – even if it meant covering their decency with only their hands.

The couple who REALLY like a drink

BY ALISON BISHOFF

Who would want to be in Mike Tindall’s size 16 shoes today? He must be feeling like crawling back under the duvet.

His wife of just 48 days is due to fly out to New Zealand to see him shortly, and will almost certainly quiz him in person about the unsavoury scenes which played out in the Queenstown bar where he reportedly enjoyed more than just a few drinks at the weekend.

No wonder he looked so whey-faced at his training sessions this week.

Trouble ahead: Mike Tindall knows he is in for a rough time from his new wife in the next few weeks, but they are both avid party-goers who have never had drink far from their side


‘Tins’, as he is known, said only a few days ago that getting married was the ‘absolute best day’ of his life and that winning any number of World Cups would never compare to it.

Ever the professional, however, he had persuaded Zara – the Queen’s granddaughter – that they should postpone their honeymoon so he could train for the World Cup.

It’s just that Zara didn’t expect this would be part of the training programme.

She is known for her ‘fiery’ temper and doesn’t stand for flirtatious behaviour from her man. She memorably had a huge, drunken row in a Gloucestershire street with her previous fiancé, jockey Richard Johnson, back in 2001.

The couple were reported to have been ‘screaming, swearing, kicking and punching’ before the police were called and Johnson went off in tears.

So there is no doubt that Tindall – an intelligent man who is universally regarded as a ‘nice bloke’ – knows what’s coming. In an interview shortly before their wedding he said that they were ‘fire and ice’ and added: ‘Being angry doesn’t come naturally to me. Zara isn’t like that. She’ll say how she feels and show her emotions.’ Oh dear.

The Palace is playing down Tindall’s high jinks.

He is just a rugby player, and this is what rugby players do,’ said a source.

And the game’s governing body, the RFU, yesterday declined to get drawn into the controversy, although a reporter who asked Tindall about the story was asked to leave the training ground. However, it was clear from his shame-faced demeanour that he knows there’s trouble ahead.

To be fair, Zara should not be entirely surprised. For while both of them are consummately professional athletes, they are both avid party-goers and drink has never been far from their side since they met in a bar in Sydney during the 2003 World Cup.

At their wedding, one of the most talked about features was a ‘vodka fountain’. That and the fact that Tindall was still in his morning suit the following afternoon, after the revels, during which friends said it ‘rained champagne’.

And then there is his stag do in Miami where Tindall – was observed downing an entire carafe of red wine in one. The bar bill for five hours’ drinking came to £12,000. And by the end, Tindall was clad in one of the nightclub’s dancers’ tutus.

As the House of Windsor is beginning to realise, while the royal newlyweds work hard, they also play very, very hard.

In 2008 Tindall and Zara attended a party for jockeys in Cheltenham. Both drank a great deal of champagne, and Zara became so giddy that she fell off a chair and banged her head.

He was seen vomiting during the festivities, only to fail a roadside breathalyser test at 11am the next day and banned from driving for three years.

He also has a previous drink-drive conviction dating back to 2000, although he refuses to speak about these convictions in interviews, and instead talks with pride about his wife’s capacity for alcohol, boasting that she could drink any footballer under the table.

Cheers! Zara swigs from a beer bottle following a horse trial in Gloucestershire in 2008. Tindall has previously boasted about his wife's capacity for alcohol in interviews


‘We still like going out and having a good time,’ Tindall said earlier this year, with a measure of understatement. ‘We just do it in the right way, where it’s not in the media. If you live in London and go out in London it’s all over the papers. You can still go out and have a good time in Cheltenham. We keep ourselves to ourselves now.’ .

When they are not out on the town, evenings are generally spent watching TV or films and walking their dogs, and people who know Tindall well say that he is a kindly, upright man.

The happy couple sang a medley of Abba songs on the karaoke at their wedding. The question is: what song will Mike Tindall be singing when Zara flies out to demand he explains himself?
