The ECHO caught up with his fellow campmate from that season, Mike Tindall, at last week&#8217;s Grand National.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The rugby union legend was full of praise for his co-star as he admitted he was in disbelief that Seann took on the challenge again. He said: &#8220;I spoke to Seann Walsh before he went in and I was like, \u2018Mate, how much you hated that and now you\u2019re back\u2019.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Tindall shared a story from his time in the camp when Seann almost had a breakdown as he wished him well for his time in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">He told the ECHO: &#8220;I\u2019ve got vivid memories, we did a night-time challenge where they basically just pulled us out of bed, you\u2019d just got back from doing another challenge, you\u2019d just washed off, you\u2019d just got yourself dry and they came in and got us again to do this night thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201c[Seann] just almost had a breakdown about it and the fact that he just wasn\u2019t ready for it. I was like, \u2018Mate, you\u2019ve just got to get on and get through it\u2019. He didn\u2019t want anyone to speak to him. I was like, \u2018You\u2019re going back? &#8216;He was like, \u2018Yeah I\u2019m going to go back.\u2019 I was like, \u2018You\u2019re an idiot\u2019 but there you go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mike Tindall spoke to the ECHO in an exclusive interview\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/0_LEC_RPAT_MikeTindall_10042026jpeg.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p aria-label=\"Mike Tindall spoke to the ECHO in an exclusive interview\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">Mike Tindall spoke to the ECHO in an exclusive interview(Image: Liverpool ECHO)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">On whether he&#8217;d consider returning to the show, he said: &#8220;I don\u2019t know. That would be where my head is right now if that question was asked.\u201d I&#8217;m A Celebrity South Africa will be broadcast on <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/itv\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"\">ITV<\/a> tonight at 9pm when viewers will find out if their suspicions are correct and Seann will be first to leave the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Tindall was thrilled to be back in Liverpool last week for the iconic steeplechase. He told the ECHO: &#8220;didn\u2019t think we were going to be here, but we got a last minute call up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s got a lot of good memories for me, <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/all-about\/aintree\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"\">Aintree<\/a>, obviously with [horse he owned] Monbeg Dude in 2015 coming third and a good spin where he came seventh.

It\u2019s been iconic from when you\u2019re a young lad. You always remember drawing a name out of a hat, seeing where your horse comes in and all the famous stories that have gone beyond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s just always nice to come up here and experience it. Dreams are made and broken over those fences.\u201d When asked to sum up the Grand National in one word, Mike laughed: \u201cChaotic is quite good. The racing can be chaotic. And then out there [in the bars] can be chaotic as well, so I think chaotic is quite nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">However, Tindall is yet to properly experience the nightlife in Liverpool, but is still looking forward to experience a pint in the city as he told the ECHO in 2023. He added today: \u201cI\u2019m always looking for a pint, but only on the back of a winner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019d be lying if I said I\u2019ve been loads of times to Liverpool. I&#8217;ve been up here a fair few times. Most of it has been around this race.\u201d Mike is a regular at racecourses across the country and he loves the way Liverpool embraces and shapes the personality of the race.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">He said: \u201cIt\u2019s the culture shift of Liverpool and what it\u2019s done. Everyone knows what it\u2019s done musically. Aintree is still the main reason that brings me back and I enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fans are convinced the comic will be first to leave the show tonight Fans are convinced Seann Walsh&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535299,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,6463,347,391,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-535298","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-im-a-celebrity-get-me-out-of-here","10":"tag-itv","11":"tag-tv","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535298\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
