Viewers Unaware of the Full Story
Fred Sirieix's recent outburst over Josie Gibson's cooking on I'm A Celebrity may have been more justified than viewers realized. The popular duo, Ant and Dec, took to social media after the show to discuss the situation, revealing that Josie took a whopping four hours to cook the kangaroo tail.
Ant Comes to Fred's Defense
Ant McPartlin, 48, took it upon himself to defend Fred Sirieix after he received criticism from fans for clashing with Josie Gibson. During their Instagram live session following the show, Ant expressed his support for the chef, stating that Josie was not listening to Fred's instructions, which resulted in the lengthy cooking time.
Behind-the-Scenes Revelations
Ant and Dec shed light on the fact that viewers were not shown the entirety of the meal preparation process. They disclosed that it actually took far longer than what was broadcasted. Declan Donnelly, 58, chimed in, asking if it took around three or four hours, to which Ant confirmed that it did indeed take a significant amount of time. Ant further explained that if Josie had listened to Fred, she could have saved the kangaroo bone for stock in the future.
Ant's Defense of Fred
Ant, noticing that many viewers were siding with Josie, made it a point to defend Fred once again. He expressed his belief that the chef knows what he's talking about and deserves support. However, Ant also acknowledged that Fred tends to go on and on about his knowledge, which can be off-putting.
Fans Call for Fred's Exit
Despite Ant's defense, some fans are growing tired of Fred's behavior and are calling for him to leave the camp. Social media was flooded with comments from viewers expressing their frustration and annoyance with the First Dates star. Many are demanding that he be voted out of the show.
Josie admitted to feeling stressed by Fred's interruptions during the cooking process. Ant's defense of Fred's actions stems from the chef's expertise in the kitchen, as he is a trained chef.
