FORMER rugby star Mike Tindall has become the first royal to advertise pizza.
Tindall, 44, uses his links to help flog Domino’s, joking: “I have friends in high places.”

Mike is married to King Charles’s niece Zara and is not a working royal
The World Cup-winner — married to King Charles’s niece Zara — appears with ex-teammate James Haskell in the skit.
Father-of-three Tindall is seen arriving at Haskell’s house in a helicopter carrying a stack of pizza boxes.
Haskell, 37, greets him, saying: “Tinds! What a boy.
“And in a heli too! Someone must have owed you a really big favour!”
Tindall replies: “Standard! You know me, mate!
“Friends in high places. I always deliver for you.”
Turning to camera, Haskell says: “Calm down! What do you need, a medal?”
It is a gentle dig at his friend who was teased over the three gongs he wore at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
Tindall, who is not a working royal, recently raised eyebrows by stating he would be on I’m A Celebrity… this year.
His choice of product might surprise royal watchers given Prince Andrew’s association with Pizza Express.
When accused of being with Jeffrey Epstein sex slave Virginia Giuffre, 39, in 2001, Andrew, 62, claimed he was at its branch in Woking.
A spokesman for Tindall, whose pizza ad is expected to be on his and Haskell’s rugby podcast, declined to comment.
