Fred Sirieix's fiancée Fruitcake breaks her silence after his explosive I'm A Celeb clash with Nella Rose | The Sun
FRED Sirieix's fiancée has broken her silence after an explosive I'm A Celeb clash with Nella Rose.
The First Dates star came under fire from Nella who accused him of "bringing up her dead dad" in a shocking outburst last night.
Fred won the sympathy of I'm a Celebrity viewers when he came under attack from Nella, who is grieving the loss of both of her parents in recent years.
Now Fred's other half, whose name is not known, but who he affectionately calls 'Fruitcake', has taken to Instagram to share her thoughts on the row.
She responded to the emotional episode, and wrote over a photo of Fred: "Tough watch for some of the show tonight but Fred did us so proud we know his intention would never be to upset anyone. Keep your head up Fred we love you".
The chef offended Nella when he took over the cooking in camp.

She brought it up the following morning and also accused him of being rude to her when he said that he was "old enough to be her father".
She told him: "When I wanted to burn fat that you were going to throw away anyways, it's not even something that we needed to survive in camp, you turned around to me, with an attitude and said, 'You know I could be your dad, right?'."
The 26-year-old had already told Fred, 51, that her dad had passed away last year.
Nella, whose mother also tragically died in her arms when she was 19 years old, then asked Fred "are you stupid?" and said: "You only get to disrespect me once."

She doubled down on her comments during a private chat in the Bush Telegraph, but as she spoke, I'm A Celebrity aired the clip of Fred and Nella's conversation around the camp fire.
It appeared to show that he hadn't made the remark to patronise her but had commented on his own age and being "old" after another campmate said he "was still young".
Fred also apologised and said he would "swear on my children's lives" that he hadn't meant it to offend Nella.
Nella opened up about her reaction on the show, telling the Bush Telegraph: "Last night after dinner Fred made a comment about him basically how he could be my dad.
"I took offence to that because one of the first conversations we had together was me opening up about the fact that my dad's passed away. I didn't say anything about it last night because I was kind of just annoyed about it.
"So I slept on it and I kind of thought about it and I was just like, this is not the kind of person I want to be around."
