Since retiring from rugby in 2014, Tindall has maintained a media presence through his popular podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, which he co-hosts with fellow former rugby star James Haskell.
The royal and former rugby player has already demonstrated his baking prowess, having showcased his brownie-making skills on social media during lockdown five years ago.
Speaking to The Times, Tindall revealed his preference for baking over cooking: “I don’t cook because I’m not skilled enough, but I’m more of a baker.
“I’m good at making bread and butter puddings and brownies.”
