When is Zara expecting her third child?

While the Queen’s granddaughter is yet to confirm her due date, doting dad Mike announced the happy news with fans earlier this month.

Speaking on his rugby podcast, Mike said: “It’s been a good week for me, had a little scan last week – third Tindall on its way.”

He continued: “I’d like a boy this time, I’ve got two girls, I would like a boy. I’ll love it whether a boy or a girl – but please be a boy!

“We’re not sure what to do, Covi or Covina – I don’t know where to go with names.”

Mike reaches out to Brian McFadden

Earlier this month, former Westlife singer Brian McFadden revealed how Mike supported him after his fiancée Danielle Parkinson suffered two devastating miscarriages.

Appearing on Loose Women, Brian said: “There’s this girl in Dubai called Simone and she’s this dietary magician when it comes to helping people to get pregnant. Whether it’s through IVF or naturally.

“So Mike told me all about her and we got in touch with Simone and she basically changed our complete diet. Mike and Zara did it, and he swore by it.”

Brian and Danielle are now expecting their first child together.
