First Dates star Fred Sirieix has tied the knot with his partner, a woman he refers to as Fruitcake, this week.

The 53-year-old French maitre d’hotel wed his fiancee – who not much is known about – of around five years on Tuesday in a ceremony in Negril, Jamaica.

On Fruitcake’s social media account, she refers to herself as aged 50 and a fashionista with style tips.

Sirieix shared an image to Instagram of the pair wearing wedding clothes, and wrote “18.02.2025” to signify the wedding date.

He was quickly congratulated by Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies, A Place In The Sun and Homes Under the Hammer presenter Lucy Alexander, and Olympian Greg Rutherford.

Davies wrote: “Huge congratulations you two and fruitcake looks stunning!”

Alexander said: “Ahhh congratulations Fred .. how wonderful”

Rutherford wrote: “Huge congratulations my friend.”

Sirieix was previously with Italian Alessandra Spendolini, who he shares Olympic bronze medal winner Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix and son Lucien with.

Last year, he was part of the BBC’s Olympic coverage in Paris and is also known for travel shows including Remarkable Places To Eat.

Sirieix has presented BBC series My Million Pound Menu, and competed on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.
