Fred Sirieix’s ‘clever technique’ to deal with Nigel Farage feud spotted by I’m A Celeb fans as tension boils over
I’M A CELEB fans think they have spotted the technique that Fred Sirieix uses to deal with drama in camp.
Before his debut in the long-running show, the First Dates star previously hit out at former UKIP politician Nigel Farage.
Fred, 51, made disparaging comments about his fellow I’m A Celebrity campmate in 2017, and then again in an unearthed post in 2019 before the General Election that year.
Last night viewers watched on as tension between the pair boiled over as the Channel 4 maitre d’hotel confronted the broadcaster over Brexit.
And fans on Instagram think that in order to win the argument, Fred has had to talk in a loud way, something Nigel does.
One fan explained: “Fred using the classic “I talk louder and quicker therefore I’m right” technique. Made a bit of a show of himself.”
A second viewer noted: “Using Nigel’s own tactics against him is what that is.”
“Well done Fred for speaking on everyone behalf,” wrote another.
As a fourth said: “Fred was being emotional and didn’t let Nigel get a word in.
In scenes that aired last night, Fred asked Nigel: What’s the benefit of Brexit then? If you are an average person from Britain, what’s the benefit?”
Nigel replied: “To know that we’re independent, we stand on our own two feet in the world.”
To which, Fred exclaimed: “Brexit was about immigration, I remember your poster. I thought it was shameful what you did, Nigel. Shameful.”
But other fans of the show think that even after just two days in the jungle, the dating show personality maybe a shoe-in to win the show.
One fan gushed: “Big up fred .”
A second commented: “I will not have a bad word said about Fred .”
“Fred is such a nice man he’ll go far in the show ,” exclaimed another.
As a fourth viewer added: “Fred to win. Said it yesterday.”
