Tindall caught on CCTV with blonde in Kiwi bar

THE TABLOIDS' fascination with the behaviour of England's royal rugby player Mike Tindall shows no signs of abating, particularly after CCTV footage of the centre apparently flirting with a blonde woman in a New Zealand bar came to light.

Tindall, who is married to the Queen's grand-daughter Zara Phillips, was caught on camera cuddling a "buxom blonde" in the Altitude bar in Queenstown.

The clip emerged after the England management rallied behind Tindall and his team mates, who were accused of attending a "dwarf-throwing" contest at the bar, although the management of the nightspot was adamant that the event was a actually "dwarf racing".

Claims that Tindall had been acting innapropriately with a woman at the bar were also brushed off. But the CCTV footage shows the player downing shots with the blonde at the bar and then draping his arm round her. She then appears to pull his head down towards her cleavage and kiss him on the head.

Another woman also joins the pair for a short time and runs her hands up and down his body.

The most daming section of the video shows Tindall with his left arm round the woman, who has her back to the camera, bending down as if to kiss her.

Whatever was happening, he will soon get the chance to explain himself to his royal wife. She is flying out to see her husband later in the tournament. ·
