Fred Sirieix, 53, shows off his toned physique in shirtless video as he unveils incredibly ripped body
Fred Sirieix took to Instagram on Saturday to share a very cheeky video with his fans.
The French maître d'hôtel, 53, stripped off to display his ripped physique whilst pretending to take on some gardening.
The TV personality left little to the imagination as he posed shirtless and beamed for the camera, while showing off his muscles.
The star, who was never shy to show off his physique during his appearance on I'm A Celeb back in 2023, wore just a pair of navy shorts and yellow boots.
Starting off the clip with his back to the camera, he held onto a spade with one hand, while walking towards a plant pot and bending down to pick it up, as the camera focused on his bottom.

After staying in that position for a few seconds, he turned around for the camera, and joked: 'Hey! What are you looking at? This is not Only Fans. It's just gardening!
His one million followers went wild for the view, taking to his comment section to post their appreciation. They wrote:
'Cracking view there Fred'...'❤️❤️❤️'...'Nice derrière ❤️❤️❤️'
Fred has made no secret for his love of working out and has been known to box, lift weights and workout on an exercise bike.
Back in 2023 he revealed he lost three kilos while in the jungle due to the lack of food but said that he would've lost more had he not kept up his training regime.
He told fans: 'While I was in there I trained everyday for 20 mins. Basic stuff - #301 push ups #100 squats #100 reverse squats. A set on the minute for 20 minutes.
'The low calorie diet of rice and beans really takes its toll on the body after a while. We were all getting smaller by the day.
'I lost quite a bit of weight but not as much as I would have done if I did not exercise. Keeping active and staying strong never made more sense!'
His one million followers went wild for the view, taking to his comment section to post their appreciation for him sharing his toned physique
It comes after Fred fought back tears during Tuesday's episode of Who Do You Think You Are?
The BBC genealogy show, sees celebrities explore their family tree with the help of experts and during one segment of the episode, Fred learned of his great-grandfather's horrific ordeal who fought in World War One which occurred in 1914 to 1918.
The historian explained Fred's ancestor fought the Germans at The First Battle of Champagne, from December 1914 to March 1915 - but 'that wasn't the end of his war'.
Speaking to the First Dates host, she continued: 'In fact, he moved on to many other areas in the frontline, most notably Verdun.'
Wide-eyed with shock his relative was at the longest, bloodiest battle of the war, lasting 300 days in 1916 and leaving around 800,000 soldiers dead, wounded or missing, Fred responded: 'He was in Verdun? Oh my God.'
The expert confirmed: 'Yes, so your great-grandfather Leonard served at Verdun which became known as "the meat grinder".
'The action at Verdun is well-known in France, of course, and it was where a million German soldiers attacked 200,000 French soldiers.'
Fred, born in the French city of Limoges and up on his national history, replied: 'But the French resisted and eventually they won.'
The historian concluded: 'They did. Leonard was there, your great-grandfather Leonard was there.'
But that was not the end of her insights into the family history of Fred, best known for his job as the maitre d' at the restaurant where Channel 4 dating reality show First Dates takes place.
She continued: 'And I think also, we need to consider the fact that after Verdun, the war continued, and your great-grandfather Leonard, his war continued.
'He then went to the Somme where he served in October 1916, so we're well into the Battle of the Somme at that point.'
Fred was left utterly speechless by this - the costly and largely unsuccessful Allied offensive from July to November 1916, which saw enormous bloodshed.
The emotional chef and TV personality continued: 'But he did every single big battle, I mean, he was in the first battle where they were doing hand-to-hand combat, fighting with the bayonet.
'Then, he was in Verdun and then the Battle of the Somme. I mean, these are the biggest battles of World War One.'
The expert was just as impressed: 'Your great-grandfather saw the evolution of the First World War, he lived that.'

Bruce Springsteen fan on when he told singer to do Liverpool gig
A Bruce Springsteen superfan who told the music legend he should play in Liverpool says he is looking forward to the star's first performances in the city this Beard, 72, says he has spent "many, many, many thousands of pounds" travelling the world to watch the singer perform at about 75 gigs since meeting the star at a US book-signing in 2016, he urged him to consider playing in his home city of Liverpool. He also encouraged Springsteen's E Street Band guitarist Stevie Van Zandt at two meetings, with the latter having since performed at the city's Cavern Beard has now booked tickets for both of Springsteen's concerts at Anfield stadium on Wednesday and Saturday. Mr Beard says he became "hooked" on the star's rock music, after first hearing it in 1976. He said he found the music "resonates" because of "the story in the songs - his truthfulness, the power, the rock and roll".Along with his wife Eileen, he watched all of Springsteen's three gigs in Manchester last that's on top of about 30 concerts across North America – including in Nashville and Memphis – plus many more in Beard says he has been a big music fan since the age of 10, when he would listen to the BBC radio show Pick of the Pops with his admired The Beatles and US singer Roy Orbison but admits to initially being "turned off by the hype" around New Jersey singer-songwriter Springsteen, who first released an album in a friend encouraged him to listen to the songs Born to Run and Thunder Road in 1976, and Mr Beard recalls he "bought all three albums the next day". Mr Beard first saw Springsteen perform at Wembley in 1981 and has since travelled with his wife to watch his concerts in the US, Canada and says that, although Eileen was a music fan when they married in 1978, "she wasn't that bothered" about the singer until seeing him perform the song Point Blank at a gig and it was "like a light went on"."She became as much a fan as me."The couple, who live in Formby, retired from their civil service careers 10 years ago and do not have children, so instead they have used some of their disposable income on travelling and Beard says he "wouldn't like to have a guess" at how much they have spent, adding: "It'd probably be frightening… to some people it'll be incomprehensible."But the concerts became a comfort after he suffered symptoms due to a form of blood cancer called multiple myeloma, which Springsteen's wife and bandmate Patti Scialfa was also diagnosed with in 2018. Following chemotherapy treatment, a nurse recommended the couple to travel and coincidentally Springsteen soon announced some gigs after the lockdowns of the coronavirus booked a trip to see him in the US, which Mr Beard, who is in remission, said was "such a fantastic thing to do and really helped us mentally"."The fact that when you go see him, you're just lost - time stands still," he says."It's just incredible the amount of work he's put into his shows."He says the couple's passion for music makes them "feel young"."We're just enthusiastic about music and getting ourselves the moment."

Calls to tell shoppers if they are buying food items hit by shrinkflation
Liberal Democrats are pushing for a legal requirement that supermarkets notify shoppers when the quantity of a pre-packaged product has been reduced, leading to a higher unit price, a practice known as " shrinkflation." The proposed amendment to the Product Regulation and Metrology Bill would require large supermarkets to display details of these changes on or next to the product for 60 days. A 2024 study showed that items like digestive biscuits, butter, crisps, and chocolate bars have decreased in size while their unit cost has increased. Lib Dem trade spokesman Clive Jones stated that shoppers are being forced to "pay more for less" by large companies and supermarket chains to protect their profits and need to be informed when they are at risk of being ripped off. A Department for Business and Trade spokesman said the government is committed to protecting consumers from unfair practices through clearer labeling for prices on supermarket shelves.

Chester Zoo sees return of rare bat-eared foxes after 30 years
A zoo has welcomed two rare bat-eared foxes, 30 years on from when the animal was last two African foxes, which are known for their 13cm (five inches) tall ears, are said to be settling in well at Chester Maasai and Malindi will live alongside 12 porcupines in the zoo's new Heart of Africa habitat and will play a part in the zoo's conservation White, Chester Zoo's team manager, said: "It's incredibly exciting to welcome bat-eared foxes back to Chester Zoo after a 30-year hiatus and they're a wonderful addition to our new Heart of Africa habitat." "They're a truly unique and fascinating species with some amazing adaptations," he said their "enormous ears aren't just for show – they act like satellite dishes and help the foxes detect the tiniest of movements coming from insects beneath the ground, allowing them to detect prey with pinpoint accuracy". Zoo conservationists brought the sisters over to Chester from a zoo in Paris, France, with one of the sisters set to be introduced to a male fox as part of efforts to safeguard the little-known foxes were given their name due to their distinctive oversized ears and they are found in the open savannahs and arid grasslands of eastern and southern Africa. In the wild, bat-eared foxes face increasing threats, largely due to habitat loss caused by agriculture, human encroachment and hunting, a zoo spokesperson said. David White said that like many species found in the African savannah, bat-eared foxes were under threat as their habitat became more fragmented as a result of human activity."That's why our teams are on the ground in several national parks across Kenya and Uganda safeguarding some of the continent's rarest species like northern giraffe, giant pangolins, mountain bongo and Eastern black rhino," he said. "By protecting these species and their habitats we're also helping many of Africa's little known species like bat-eared foxes, that share the same habitats, to go on to thrive once again."
