This prompted Mike to open up about the birth of his son, saying: “Lucas was fast. Third. When we got our things to go to the hospital, she got out of the bathtub, she could hardly stand, she was shaking. The midwife said, “She doesn’t do the hospital.”
“She was like, ‘You don’t want to deliver in the car.’ Head to the gym, two exercise mats downstairs in the bathroom. But yes.’
As for Zara being in pain, he said: “She was, however, it was quick, from that moment on. She almost choked me to death.

“You can’t say anything, can you? “Can you let go, you’re really hurting me?!”
It comes after Mike opened up on Monday’s episode about meeting his wife Zara in Sydney and admitted they “both like to get smashed” on their “boozed” first date.
The former England rugby ace met Zara in 2003 during the England Rugby World Cup in Australia.
At the main camp, Mike told roommates Babatúndé Aleshe and Owen Warner about his first meeting with his wife, whom he married in 2011.

He also spoke openly about their first date, recalling, “First real date, just went out to local for lunch. And it ended up being pretty wet. Then we found out that we both really like getting smashed. It was a good start.”
Mike explained, “I was at the World Cup, she was watching. I got kicked out of the semifinals. I had run away so I went for a beer with another guy who got dropped and a guy who passed [in Sydney]. They had met her before and they introduced us and then struck up a conversation.”
Owen replied, ‘So if you had never been dropped you would never have met her?’
Mike said: “Best decision of Clive Woodward’s life.” Owen added: “Thank god he dumped you.”
It comes after Mike confirmed his wife Zara will be flying to Australia to support him on ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here’! “when it comes to an end” – and warned him not to eat too loud.
The rugby star is the first member of the royal family to take part in the ITV series, which began on Sunday.
