Earlier this year, Mike shared an adorable selfie of himself and Zara enjoying a day out at the Magic Millions horse race. Zara looked gorgeous in a pink Rebecca Vallance mini dress with a feathered orange fascinator by Millinery Jill and a matching pink Kate Spade shoulder bag.
At least Mike has something else to keep him entertained. Earlier this week, he admitted he has been binge-watching Netflix hit The Crown.
Speaking about the show on popular rugby podcast, The Good, the Bad and the Rugby, Zara's husband admitted he was still catching up with season three before revealing he would like Hollywood actor Jason Statham to play him in future seasons.

"I need to catch up," he told podcast host Alex Payne. "I actually saw the advert for it, and I was like, 'Oooo, I need to catch up' because I only got about halfway through season three so, I started watching season three last night and then I'll catch up.
"But I've seen it all over the place this morning, and on those popular midday TV shows so, yeah, I'm quite intrigued to see where they go with it because obviously, it's an era that people are fascinated with."
Warning fans about the hit series, he added: "But remember everyone, it is a drama so it's going to be made into a bit of a drama."
