“As we got our stuff to go to hospital, she got out of the bath, she could barely stand, she was shaking,” Mike recalled on the show, according toSky News. “The midwife was like, ‘She’s not making the hospital.’ She was like, ‘You don’t want to be delivering in the car.’ [I went] into the gym [and got] two gym mats [to put] down in the bathroom.”
Mike added that Zara’s labor pains were intense: “She almost choked me to death. You can’t say anything, can you? ‘Can you let go, you’re really hurting me?’ "

Earlier this week, Mike told the rest of the cast about how he met Zara.
“I was at the World Cup, she was out watching,” the athlete said on Monday’s episode of the show. “I got dropped from the semi-final. I was pissed off, and so I went for a beer with another guy who got dropped and a guy who was over [in Sydney]. They’d met her before, and they introduced us and then got chatting.”
Back in the U.K., the pair met up.
“First actual date, just went out for lunch locally. And ended up being quite a boozy one,” Mike recalled. “Then we figured out that we both quite like getting smashed. It was a good start.”
The couple got engaged in 2010 and wed the following summer.
Cohost Alex Payne asked Mike if there was anything that made him “shudder.”
“First challenge, he’s going to be absolutely hysterical. Tears, snot, emotions,” Payne joked.
Laughing, Mike pretended to cry and said, “Get me out of here!”
