Fred Sirieix, who recently joined I'm A Celebrity, has a mysterious fiancee known as Fruitcake. Fans are eager to learn more about the TV star's life away from the cameras.<\/p>\n

Fred is best known for his role on Channel 4's First Dates and First Dates Hotel, where he's been calming down nervous singletons since 2013. <\/p>\n

Before becoming a TV favourite, Fred was making a name for himself in the hospitality industry. He originally trained as a chef in his hometown of Limoges, France, before deciding he preferred working front-of-house.<\/p>\n

In 1992, Fred moved to Britain to improve his English and quickly started building his career in the restaurant business. His impressive CV includes top restaurants like Tante Claire in Chelsea and Le Gavroche in Mayfair. He also managed Galvin at Windows, a Michelin-starred restaurant at the London Hilton on Park Lane, until 2019.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Besides his work on Channel 4, Fred has hosted BBC's Million Pound Menu and Remarkable Places to Eat. He's also known for his TV road trips with famous chefs Gordon Ramsay and Gino D'Campo.<\/p>\n

Fred, who has been engaged to his partner, Fruitcake, since March 2020, was supposed to tie the knot a year later. However, the pandemic put their plans on hold. <\/p>\n

The couple, who met on a bustling London street in 2018, have kept their relationship low-key. Fred previously revealed that he adores Fruitcake, saying, "she's a fun girl and she makes me laugh." He also shared that they enjoy simple pleasures like walking and spending time together.<\/p>\n

In September, Fred confirmed that he and Fruitcake are still figuring out a wedding date, although he briefly discussed the plans in the jungle with his fellow campmates, with Sam Thompson revealing his desire to plan a Vegas stag do for him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Although they keep their home life private, it's known that they live together in Peckham.<\/p>\n

The couple has never revealed Fruitcake's real name, with the nickname being given to her by Fred.<\/p>\n

Fruitcake's job is a mystery, but she runs an Instagram account showcasing her fashion picks and travel escapades to her 8k followers. <\/p>\n

Before falling for Fruitcake, Fred was in a long-term relationship with Alex Spendolini. He's a proud dad to two kids from his Italian ex, a 13 year old son named Lucien and 18 year old daughter Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, who is also a professional diver.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chatting with the Telegraph earlier this year, Fred shared that the best days of his life were when his children were born. <\/p>\n

"It's such a simple thing to wake up and take your children to school. I remember so well taking my son to his classroom for the first time. Andrea is an Olympic diver, who competed for Team GB in Tokyo. <\/p>\n

"They're both lovely young people, kind and generous. I'm very proud of them, and I couldn't wish for better children," he gushed.<\/p>\n
