Mike Tindall hopeful newborn baby won't inherit his nose

Former England rugby captain Mike Tindall is keeping his fingers crossed that his child will not be born with his squashed nose.

The 34-year-old and his wife Zara Phillips, who is the Queen's granddaughter, are expecting their first child in the New Year.

Tindall wrote on Twitter: "Thanks for all the kind messages. We are very excited and hopefully he/she won't have my nose."

The couple married two years ago.
