First Dates Fred Sirieix shows bruises after diving accident
Last week, Fred shared a video of himself attempting a high dive, which quickly went wrong as he belly-flopped into the pool.
Joking about the failed stunt, he captioned the clip: “It runs in the family.”
His daughter, Olympic diver Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, playfully responded: “Yes definitely.”
But the reality of the accident soon became clear.
Over the weekend, Fred posted photos showing heavy yellow and purple bruising across his thighs and glutes, prompting concern from fans.
He admitted: “Well… for those of you who were asking if it hurt… Yes! It did! #diving is not a sport for everyone!”

Followers flooded the comments with a mix of sympathy and shock at the extent of his injuries.
One wrote: “Wow that looks painful.”
“Diving!? Into what!? A wall!?” Another joked.
Reality star Gemma Collins also chimed in, writing: “Bless you Fred.”
Others wished him well, with messages like: “Wishing you a speedy recovery” and “No pain no gain!”
‘I have to listen to my body’
Meanwhile, the accident comes as Fred has previously admitted he’s had to ease up on his once-intense fitness regime.
While he was known for gruelling daily workouts, including hundreds of push-ups, he recently revealed: “Father Time has well and truly caught up with me now.”
He added that he can no longer train the way he once did. “My body won’t allow it. I’m still pushing myself but at a different pace. Only now I have to listen to my body more attentively.”
