I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here! Stars Josie Gibson and Fred Sirieix reunited on This Morning on Wednesday after becoming embroiled in a row during their stint on the ITV show.
The First Dates star became embroiled in a “sexism” row after viewers accused him of engaging in “misogynistic” behavior towards Josie, 38, in the jungle last year.
But when Fred joined Josie on This Morning for a cooking segment, it seemed any hard feelings had been dispelled, with the chef joking that it had been blown “way out of proportion”.
Fred was invited on the show to demonstrate one of his family’s favorite recipes: roast chicken and sweet corn soup.
At the beginning of the article, host Craig Doyle referenced the couple in the jungle, saying, “There were more sparks between these two than the (jungle) fire itself!”
I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here! Stars Josie Gibson and Fred Sirieix reunited on This Morning on Wednesday after becoming embroiled in a row during their stint on the ITV show.
The First Dates star became embroiled in a ‘sexism’ row after viewers accused him of exhibiting ‘misogynistic’ behavior towards Josie in the jungle last year.
Josie laughed and said, ‘No bean fritters in sight today!’ while Fred, laughing, added: ‘It’s not my favorite recipe!’
Craig then addressed Fred and Josie’s feud by asking, ‘Can I ask you if you’re okay?’
Josie replied: ‘We love each other. She really blew herself out of proportion, didn’t she, Fred? while Fred admitted: ‘He’s done it, he’s done it, he’s done it!’
Josie walked over to hug him and said, “Bring him.”
After the hug, the pair talked about their time in the Australian jungle, with Josie saying: “We’ve been through something a bit spectacular together, it was a trip wasn’t it?”
Fred then confessed: ‘I think people can’t understand what it means to be in the jungle unless you’re in the jungle and the reason it’s called ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ It’s because you really want to get out of there!’
Josie, looking at the plate, said: ‘Well, I wish we had this there! Good soup, good wine and good company. Thank you so much.’
During their time on I’m a Celebrity last year, tension began between the pair after Fred had to give up his role as the camp chef, with many commenting that he was acting “controlling” towards Josie when she took the job. .
But when Fred joined Josie on This Morning for a cooking segment, it seemed any bad blood had been dissipated, with the chef joking that it was “way blown out of proportion”.
During their time on I’m A Celebrity last year, tension began between the pair after Fred had to give up his role as camp chef.
Many commented that Fred was acting “controlling” towards Josie when she took the job.
However, when defending his actions in his exit interview, Fred claimed that the reason behind his fallout was due to a cooking mistake Josie constantly made.
Speaking to hosts Ant and Dec during her exit interview, she said: ‘She’s just making it up as she goes along. So I think there’s a lot going on with food.
“And it’s not just what you’re cooking at that moment that of course is going to be good, because the product is incredible, but what you can do the next day with the leftover bones.”
He continued, “You really need calories and you have to find them whenever you can.” I think we missed out on some quiet meals (by not recycling ingredients),’ she added.
Viewers had been seeing less manners and more “misogyny” from Fred in recent episodes after his behavior towards his female co-stars led fans to brand him “unbearable”.
When asked why he didn’t get as involved in Sam Thompson and Nick Pickard’s cooking, he said they were a “dream” and there was “no need” for him to do so.
As his split with Josie grew, Fred was seen hanging out with Nigel Farage, 59, on the show, despite once calling him a “coward who likes money, attention and the sound of music too much.” his own voice.”
Both in charge of washing pots on the pitch, the former UKIP leader and the Frenchman bonded over cleaning the pitch and complained about Josie’s meals as they scrubbed pots at the water’s edge.
When asked about his up-and-down relationship with Nigel at camp, Fred insisted that their time together had not influenced him over their political differences.
He said: “It was great to be in the camp because I’m a doer and Nigel is a doer… but there’s a side to Nigel Farage that I won’t and will never connect with.”
Fred, also a trained chef, had been relentlessly critical of single mum Josie’s cooking skills and during Monday night’s episode told hosts Ant and Dec in court: “There’s no method, there’s no technique.”
‘She’s just making it up as she goes along. If she would just let me explain step by step clearly, we would be fine.’
Viewers quickly responded to Fred, writing on X, formerly known as Twitter: ‘Fred Sirieix is controlling and a misogynist. He may be a qualified chef, but that doesn’t mean he has to make everyone feel inferior.’
Josie has been praised online for her calm response when she said: “You just have to give me the reins my love, I know it’s hard.”
Others online told him to “stay away” from Josie, with one person writing: “I don’t know how Josie hasn’t ripped Fred’s head off.” How conceited and condescending. Get it out of here!’
In addition to her confrontation with Josie, three days after the show, YouTuber Nella Rose, 26, and Fred got into an argument during which she accused the Maitre’d of being “girly” toward her.
However, the hint of an unequal dynamic was overlooked because viewers sided with Fred.
The public’s opinion of Fred has since changed after his “sexist” behavior towards Josie and Nella when camp duties were assigned.
Nella and Josie were initially tasked with washing the pots after Fred cooked rice and beans for the campmates.
But the camp was thrown into chaos when the furious First Dates star threw the already washed pots on the ground complaining they were “dirty” and sent the couple back.
This sparked a misogyny row with X viewers writing: “No, Fred is bothering me now, ‘You haven’t done a good enough job’… how sexist.”
Another person wrote: ‘I’m very disappointed with that. Now I don’t like Fred Sirieix.
Speaking to the Bush Telegraph on Friday, Nella said: “If someone has cleaned something, you don’t pick it up and throw it on the floor.”
Josie added: “I like Fred, but it’s not very nice to be told that what you’ve done isn’t good enough and that I’m being nit-picky.”
