Zara and Mike's fun in the sun

IT looks like Zara Tindall is grabbing some quality time with husband Mike as they take a winter break in Australia.

The King's sporty niece and nephew-in-law have been shoring up their tans on the sun-kissed sands Down Under.

But they haven't spent a King's ransom on their cossies.

Zara, 42, a former Olympic horseriding heroine, wore a £30 flower-print bikini when they took a dip.

And former Rugby World Cup winner Mike, 45, was in a pair of budget black swimming shorts as he wrapped his wife in a stripey towel, after they stepped out of the warm ocean in trendy Byron Bay, New South Wales.
