I’m A Celebrity fans baffled as Fred Sirieix’s fiancée is addressed by the name Fruitcake on the show

Fans are unsure whether it's her nickname or real name…

I’m A Celebrity contestant Fred Sirieix addressed his fiancée by her nickname Fruitcake in last night’s Coming Out show (December 13) and fans have been left feeling pretty confused.

The 51-year-old First Dates star, who was previously in a long-term relationship with Alex Spendolini – the mother of his two children – announced he was in a new relationship back in 2018.

That said, her real name or her occupation have never been made public knowledge. So Fred refers to his partner as Fruitcake and continuously did so while in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

She was even called Fruitcake in captions under her image on the Coming Out show last night, with fans flocking to Twitter with their thoughts…
