this Sunday.Ahead of his stint on the popular reality show, Mike was asked whether Zara and the rest of his family would be coming out to support him or whether they had offered any words of advice.He said: "We’re not entirely sure yet, we haven’t fully made that decision and it’s probably how deep into the show we go.“And we have some work out here, so if it got to the end then hopefully she’d be able to come out and get some vitamin D,” he added in reference to wife Zara.

Mike admitted he got emotional when he said goodbye to his wife and kids, Mia, eight, Lena, four, and Lucas, one, on the Royal Estate, even shedding a tear.

Mike said: "Obviously, it’s difficult but the saving grace is going to a country that we know very well, and Zara understands and gets it and that makes it a lot easier.”The star then went on to confess he actually hoped to see more signs of sadness from his beloved children."It’s one of those things with the kids,” he explained. “I’ve had a couple of phone calls while I’ve been here. “They say they’re going to miss you when you leave but when you ring them, they’re like, ‘Hi dad, bye.’ “Then they are off doing whatever they do,” he continued.
