Zara and Mike have been spotted keeping it steamy in a storm!

It might have been three degrees and in the middle of a stormy sea, but that didn’t stop Zara Phillips and husband Mike Tindall, from heating things up!

The royal pair cuddled up to one another as they completed the Artemis sailing challenge on the Isle of Wight against a group of other rugby players.

Zara and Mike, who married in 2011, got pretty cosy on the hull of their boat as they sailed towards the finish line, flashing waiting photographers a few smiles.

The couple, who share 19-month-old daughter Mia, competed in the race as guest sailors to raise money for charities such as Women in Sport and Action Enfance.

Whilst browsing these pictures, you might want to have a close look at Mike Tindall’s nose – because the next time you see it, it might be pretty different.

The ex-rugby star announced yesterday that he’s planning to go under the knife soon to fix it, as it’s started to affect his breathing.

“I don’t really want to get it fixed but it looks like I might have to because I can’t actually breathe very well. I guess it’s something similar to a pug,” Mike told The Mirror, “The problem is that if I get it done, will people say I’ve had it just because I’m doing TV stuff now? Because it’s definitely not.”

Check out the pictures from the loved-up pair’s latest encounter!

The duo seemed relaxed ahead of their big sailing challenge.

Hands on deck, Mike! The parents-of-one weren’t doing as much sailing as they were cuddling.

They were competing as part of Cowes Week, to raise money for various charities.

Ahoy, sailor! Zara and Mike look off into the distance during their sail.

And they went for a little hull-side hang out, too.

What’s so funny? The pair seemed to be enjoying themselves despite the gloomy weather.

Whispering sweet nothings, Mike? Or just talking about the weather?
