Mike is one of the three hosts of The
Good, The Bad and The Rugby alongside former player James Haskell and
sports presenter Alex Payne.
The announcement played on the podcast’s title
with a Western-movie-themed poster, that featured the main cast in cowboy
hats with cowboy-themed clothing, a motif carried over for the show’s guests.
The poster also had a large number ‘3’ in the
centre, with the co-hosts seen laughing and having a good time with one
another.
Mike reshared a post with the news on his
Instagram Stories, while the caption for the post read: “The @goodbadrugby
stable for Season Three. S3 Episode 1 – 28.9.22. Search GOOD BAD RUGBY on
all your favourite platforms.”
One fan commented: “Love this. Looking
forward to it,” while a second opined: “Try and get Christian Cullen
on,” and a third simply said: “Wild boys.”
The announcement came shortly after the Queen’s
state funeral, which was held on Monday 19 September.
Mike, alongside his wife, Zara Tindall,
and the pair’s eldest daughter, Mia, were all guests at the solemn occasion.
Following the Queen’s burial on Monday evening,
Mike took to Instagram with a poignant post. He re-shared a post that
showed a lone bagpiper playing in honour of Her Majesty.
The former rugby player has previously opened
up about his interactions with the Queen on the podcast, saying: ” I did
get sweaty palms. I think anyone would. She’s such a legend of a lady that I
still get nervous now when I see her. I’m way more comfortable now, but… it’s
been a journey.”
The sports star later credited the Queen for
being an “amazing woman”. He told The Telegraph: “I can
only say how kind they’ve been to me, and how welcoming they’ve been to me
since joining the family. And how they’ve made my family welcome.
“I’ve always felt part of it and I think
that’s down to what an amazing woman the Queen is. They’re a fantastic
family.”
