It was worth it for that alone: first Mike Tindall flew fourth from last out of the British version of the jungle camp ("I'm a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here!"), then into his wife Zara's arms (our picture ).
The 41-year-old niece of King Charles III.
had already been expecting her husband on the suspension bridge in Australia.
The former England rugby international has whispered in his wife's ear after their month-long separation, according to British newspaper Hello!: "I've missed you so much."
Apparently he had supported his fellow combatants well during his stay in the camp.
"I'm the kind of person who wants to be there for people and help them," Tindall said in an interview after his departure.
They could all have survived the competition well, especially with a sense of humour.
