First Dates' Fred Sirieix wishes fianceé 'Fruitcake' happy birthday in rare snap

First Dates' Fred Sirieix wished his fianceé ‘Fruitcake’ a happy birthday in an ultra rare snap of the fiercely private couple.

The maître d’ shared sweet photos of him with his other half while on a romantic woodland stroll.

Fred's wife-to-be, whose name he has never revealed, was seen sporting a bold green tracksuit and white trainers on the outing as she posed next to a small river.

Wearing a pair of sleek dark shades, she smiled widely for the camera as she perched on a rock next to the water.

The TV star then shared another picture, which shows his fianceé resting her head on Fred's shoulder.

"Happy birthday #Fruitcakectionately known as ‘Fruitcake’,” the Frenchman wrote.

Fred then shared a video of his fianceé dancing along to Snoop Dogg and Pharrell’s 2002 hit Beautiful.

Standing in what looks like a hotel room, she looks chic in a black tuxedo mini dress, with her hair piled high on her head, and accessorised with statement earrings.

“#fyah,” he cheekily captioned the snap, alongside a fire emoji.

He hinted that he’d whisked his fianceé away for a romantic break in the countryside in another post, as he shared a series of snaps from their trip.

“Nice day. Dinner now. A+,” Fred wrote, as he uploaded images of rolling countryside, woodland and wild flowers.

Fred, who also stars alongside chefs Gordon Ramsay and Gino D'Acampo in the hit ITV show Gordon, Gino and Fred's Road Trip, recently shared a steamy confession, as he revealed he was having the best sex of his life as he approached his 50s, and credited his fiancee for giving him more confidence in the bedroom.

“I’ve never enjoyed sex as much as now. I think it’s a confidence thing and meeting another person who feels exactly the same way as me.

“I like myself much more than when I was 20, I’m a better human being than when I was 20. It’s that overall wisdom,” he told The Sun.

Fred is very protective of his fianceé, who met on the street in a “beautiful” chance encounter.

“It was so beautiful. When I saw her I fell in love and she smiled because she knew. We went for a drink and we were all over each other,” he recalled.

Fred began dating the mystery woman in 2018, and popped the question last March, with the Million Pound Menu host promising that they would be celebrating after all Covid restrictions had been lifted.

"We are delighted. As soon as all this is over we are off to Negril for a party on the beach,” he said at the time.

Fred has never married, and his previous relationship was with ex Alex Spendolini, who he dated for more than 12 years.
