- Prince William has refused to say which I'm A Celeb 2022 contestant he is backing after a royal fan asked him to pick between his relative Mike Tindall and friend Jill Scott
- During the visit, Prince William also promised a young boy that he would put his drawing on the royal fridge

We have seen Prince William put in a tough spot by royal fans before, from brave fans asking him cheeky questions to even braver ones asking for kisses. The Prince's most recent solo visit to RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire was no different.
While making chit-chat, being hugged, and posing for selfies, Prince William was grilled about who he wanted to win the hit ITV show, I'm A Celeb. Cpl Howes, who plays on the Coningsby's women's football team, said, "I asked him who he wanted to win, Lioness Jill Scott or his relative Mike Tindall." Ever the diplomat, William did not pick a winner.
While at the base, William chatted to a group of military families and took time to speak with one young boy, giving him a hug and making a special promise.
Three-year-old Blake Fearnley presented the prince with a picture of Mickey Mouse, which his mother, Laura Fearnley, 33, said the royal took and promised "he would put it on his fridge."
Laura recounted the heartwarming interaction afterwards, telling The Mirror, "He [Prince William] walked off and then Blake decided he wanted to ask William for a cuddle so he followed him and said 'please William may I have a cuddle' and he did."
Earlier in the day, William was given a glimpse of the future after being shown an array of innovative products under development to help technicians keep the planes airworthy at RAF Coningsby.
William donned a pair of virtually reality goggles that are being designed to improve fighter jet maintenance. As he prodded a virtual cylindrical shape he said, "It’s weird," before adding "very clever".
