Mike Tindall enjoys surprise California trip – see all the photos
Mike Tindall has been enjoying some quality time in California recently, but he surprised fans when it was revealed that he was joined by DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles.
The pair were shopping for gifts on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, which is only an hour and a half's drive away from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in Montecito. Mike and Nick were seen making the most of the warm weather in the Californian city with Mike wearing a burgundy shirt and his companion rocking a similar grey item.

The pair made sure to pick up the perfect souvenirs for their children, as they were seen customising children's-sized shirts at the shop.

Mike and Nick were also spotted in Free People, a women's wear store, no doubt getting some gifts for their wives back at home.
The pair brought gifts for their children
Mike's wife Zara will be looking after their three children back at home, including son Lucas who turned two on Tuesday.
The kids will be thrilled with their presents
Mike and Zara's relationship continues to be strong, and the pair were spotted sharing a kiss when Mike joined Zara at the Cheltenham Racecourse.
The pair were just 90 minutes away from Harry and Meghan
Mike and Zara are regulars at the annual Cheltenham Festival, with Zara becoming a director at the racecourse in 2020.
The pair enjoyed some sunny weather
In fact, the dad-of-three invested in one particular horse on a whim, not knowing how things would turn out.
Nick is known for shows like DIY SOS and Who Dares Wins
Back in 2014, Mike hit the headlines after investing a whopping £12,000 in a share in a horse called Monbeg Dude. Despite being a 40/1 outsider, the horse finished in third position in the Grand National that year, earning the couple £105,000.
