'I’m A Celeb in ageism row as viewers slam ‘rude’ Fred Sirieix over his ‘disgusting’ comment to Sam Thompson'

Fred Sirieix accused of being 'rude' and 'ageist'

I'm A Celebrity viewers have criticized French chef Fred Sirieix for his behavior towards Sam Thompson, calling him "rude" and "ageist".

Backlash over bulldozing his way into tasks

Fred Sirieix faced backlash from ardent fans of the ITV hit after he once again took charge during the task selection process, shutting down Sam in the process.

Ignoring the desires of fellow campmates

When it came time for the camp to decide who would take on the Fly On The Wall bushtucker trial, Fred didn't wait for anyone else to speak before putting himself forward. This is not the first time he has taken charge without considering the desires of his fellow campmates.

Sam Thompson left disappointed

Sam Thompson expressed his desire to do the trial with Marvin Humes, but Fred didn't listen. He instead made a dismissive comment to Sam, saying, "Sorry Sam, you can carry on playing with your toys. We are going to do the men's stuff."

Viewers express their frustration

Viewers of the show were seriously unimpressed with Fred's behavior, with some expressing their anger on social media. One viewer said, "Not Fred acting like Sam’s not grown up enough to do the trial as if he hasn’t spent all week having an actual paddy because he’s not the camp chef."

Another viewer called for someone to stand up to Fred, saying, "First he's non-stop rude to Josie, and now the way he has spoken to the camp 2 nights in a row. Someone, please say something to him for God's sake."
