Channel 4 star Fred Sirieix has been fiercely defended by his loyal fiancée following a series of public spats.

The 52-year-old star affectionately refers to her as Fruitcake, although her real name has not been publicly disclosed because the couple like to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.

During his stint on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! last year, the TV personality ruffled a number of campmates' feathers including This Morning presenter Josie Gibson and Tiktok star Nella Rose.

But despite the controversy on the ITV reality show, Fruitcake stood in solidarity with her partner. The French maitre d’hotel initially clashed with politician Nigel Farage.

Arguably, their most memorable clash with the politican was when he blasted the former Ukip leaders’ “shameful” anti-immigration poster during his Brexit campaign.

One year later, his wife-to-be claimed that she was proud of him for speaking his mind and felt that he was “polite” towards the Member of Parliament during the heated debate.

In an interview with the Sun, she said: “You don't always have to agree with someone's views and if you can do it in a polite and adult way then great."

The First Dates host questioned Nigel on whether the average person in the UK had lost out because of his actions. However, Nigel firmly disagreed, claiming that he was standing by his beliefs which was his right.

This sparked huge debates up and down the country which pushed Nigel's daughter to speak out.

After a tense debate going back and forth, the duo eventually said "we will have to agree to disagree" while other campmates volunteered to do chores in order to escape the politics and tense atmosphere.

But the jungle drama did not stop there as he moved on to ITV presenter Josie, 39, which left some of their new found friends feeling awkward around the campfire.

Fred found himself embroiled in a heated discussion when the broadcaster cooked the for the entire camp after being named as the head chef.

After the nail-biting scenes aired, Fruitcake appeared on Lorraine confessing that Fred is the saucier at home, admitting that it's his love language.

She told the beloved Scott that "he’s in charge of pleasure” and he finds huge pleasure in “feeding” her.

Fruitcake went on: "He's like that at home but to be fair Lorraine, I don't do any cooking so I can't say I step away. He does it at home.”

His supportive partner added that it was no surprise to her that her future husband was struggling to relinquish control in the kitchen. She added: "He does all the cooking so I am not surprised he's struggled to step away with Josie."
