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. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 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.'

Golf video instruction: Better putting could be all about tempo
Putting is often overlooked during practice because it's not the most exciting part of golf. However, sinking a 20-foot birdie putt on the course can be one of the most thrilling moments in the game. Fitness guru and Professional Long Driver Averee Dovsek explains her recent breakthrough with her putting stroke that has completely transformed her game. She's now making putts more consistently. Advertisement Tempo is crucial in putting because it creates consistency and control. A smooth, steady tempo helps ensure the putter head moves at the right speed throughout the stroke, leading to more accurate distance and direction. When your tempo is too quick or too jerky, it's easy to mis-hit the ball or struggle with distance control. To see the video, click here.

Heidi Klum looks fabulous at 51 as she flaunts figure in TINY string bikini
Heidi Klum used Instagram to share a new bikini-clad photo with her 12.5 million followers on Friday. The 51-year-old mother-of-four bared her washboard abs in a black and white two-piece swimsuit while standing near a large pool. Klum — who attended the American Music Awards with her 19-year-old son Henry — wrote in the caption, '86 *F ☀️ Los Angeles.' The German supermodel will celebrate her 52nd birthday on June 1, but looks years younger thanks to a healthy, active lifestyle. In addition to Henry, she shares son Johan, 18, and daughter Lou, 15, with ex-husband Seal. The 62-year-old British singer also helped her raise 21-year-old daughter Leni, who she has from a previous relationship. Heidi was married to musician Seal from 2005 until 2014. She is now married to Tokio Hotel music artist Tom Kaulitz, who is 35. Ahead of her 50th birthday two years ago, the blonde bombshell told Entertainment Tonight, 'To be honest, I don't let this number change my path or what I do. It is, for me, just a number, you know?' She added, 'Because I don't feel 50, internally. I mean, sometimes I look in the mirror and I'm like: "Oh yeah, I am 50." But internally, I feel like I'm 25.' Heidi, who is also known for judging America's Got Talent in addition to modeling, gushed at the time: 'I'm full of energy. My husband is 33 and I know I have more energy than him!' She noted that 'the birthday doesn't change anything for me. My passions are the same passions — I love to travel and be there for my family.' The Germany's Next Top Model host takes fitness and diet seriously to maintain her figure. In a 2021 interview with Body and Soul she said, 'I try to eat super healthy. We eat at like 6 to 6:30pm, [and having] home-cooked food, knowing what you're eating is super important. 'I love healthy food; I don't really eat much junk. I like to be fit and I like to feel fit. I know that when I gained a little bit [of weight]... I felt sluggish. I was like, "No, I have to get back into shape."' Klum and Kaulitz, who is also German, got engaged after only one year of dating. They tied the knot in a private ceremony on February 22, 2019, exchanging vows on a luxury yacht. The catwalk favorite often shares outtakes from her life with her husband on social media. And the pair have been known to frequent nude beaches while vacationing outside of the states. Last summer the former Victoria's Secret Angel called her choice to go without a top in St. Barts 'no big deal.' She told that she 'grew up with a lot of nudity' and encourages others to strip off on the beach. 'Even though I am American, I'm also very much European, so I grew up with a lot of nudity on the beach,' the multihyphenate explained. 'So for me, this would be no big deal. Plus I was on a French island, and if you look around, most girls are topless, so it's just a very common thing,' Heidi emphasized.

Lauren Sanchez says Jeff Bezos a 'monster' in gym as she pushes herself to be game-fit for wedding
has likely been exercising ferociously ahead of her wedding later this month to Jeff Bezos. That's according to Nofar Hagag, who runs the New York and Miami Pilates studio Nofar Method. The billionaire Amazon founder, 61, and the journalist, 55, are set to tie the knot in Venice, Italy, in a $10 million June 24-26 celebration. Lauren is likely getting ready to flaunt her toned physique in whichever gown she chooses, Hagag predicts. In a 2023 interview with Vogue, the bride revealed that Jeff is a 'monster' in the gym, and that they do much of their training together. They cannot do everything together, however, as he is on a 'whole different level' than her. In the past, Lauren has taken to her Instagram page to share various videos of her workouts, which often include weight training and a lot of abdominal work. Previously, she shared a video of her quick, 20-minute workout with a trainer, which included Nordic hamstring curls, step-up knee drives, thrusters and bench step-overs. 'I only had 20 minutes to workout before taking kids to school. [Celebrity fitness trainer] Wes Okerson said it was enough time. He was right. Here it is,' Lauren wrote at the time. Around the same time, she showed off a similar routine, this time working on her upper body with dumbbell presses, barbell bench presses, push ups and dips on parallette bars. And it looks like Lauren is already ahead of schedule with her workouts, according to Hagag, who recommends that brides begin their fitness journey at least a few months before their wedding date. 'I recommend starting your bridal fitness journey at least three to six months ahead of your wedding day,' Hagag told exclusively. 'This allows time to build strength, improve posture, and develop long lean muscle tone without the stress of last-minute changes and crash diets. 'That said, even a few weeks of consistent work can make a meaningful difference, especially in posture and core strength, which look beautifully in photos and more importantly help with the way you feel confident and carry yourself on your special day.' The workouts that Lauren has documented over the years on her Instagram page are definitely good ones to go by, Hagag said. 'I love that Lauren chose to focus on weight training, especially by combining it with HIIT cardio and bodyweight exercises.' Getting a leg-up: Nofar Hagag recommends brides to be start their fitness regimen at least three to six months before the big day 'It's such an effective way to build tone and definition while keeping the body lean, sculpted, and strong without getting bulky.' For a weekly routine, Hagag suggests three days of weight training to 'build strength and tone,' two days of Pilates on equipment to 'refine posture' and create an 'elongated, sculpted look,' as well as one day of light cardio, like a walk in the park, to help your mental health. 'This mix helps you feel confident, grounded, and empowered in your body not just for your wedding day, but for life,' she said. But as you are preparing for the big day, as Lauren is, it's important to keep in mind that there's not necessarily a 'one-size-fits-all workout,' Hagag explained. 'The most important thing is to find movement that you genuinely enjoy that's the key to staying consistent. If it feels fun, you'll keep showing up.' Roughly 200 people are expected to attend the couple's three-day nuptials, Mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro confirmed in a statement.
