Fred Sirieix says Premier League footballer had sex in toilet of his restaurant

Fred Sirieix might currently be one of the campmates taking part in I’m A Celeb, but he’s also a well-experienced maître d'hôtel.

Best known for Channel 4’s First Dates, the 51-year-old worked front-of-house of a fancy restaurant in France before moving to work in UK restaurants and hotels in the early 00’s.

Over the last week, ITV viewers have seen Sirieix living in the jungle as he clashes with Nella Rose and chats to the other celebrities – including Nigel Farage, Jamie Lynn Spears and Marvin Humes.

Of course, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! gives us a little extra glimpse of stars as they often open up about their lives and different sides of their personalities shine through.

And, it’s reported one of the things Sirieix could open up about is the sexy tale of a Premiere League footballer.

The Mirror reported that the Frenchman once had a big name sportsman have sex in his restaurant.

Sirieix said: “I've had my own brushes with amorous guests. One evening a very well-known footballer came for dinner with a companion. He was a Frenchman like me, and a star in the Premier League.

“Halfway through the meal, he and his companion left the table and went to the loo. Actually, they went to the same loo - the Ladies - and then into the same cubicle. They returned about 15 minutes later and finished their meal.

“They had certainly worked up a healthy appetite.”

The First Dates star added that the footballer returned only a few weeks later ‘with his wife’.

“She walked in first, he was behind her, and he looked at me,” Sirieix said.

“He raised his two index fingers to his mouth, pleading for a big shush."

Revealing this saucy footballer story in his book Secret Service: Lifting the lid, it’s said he could retell it in the I’m A Celeb camp – which would no doubt be an absolute nightmare for ITV if he shares the name.

It’d certainly not be ideal for the footballer either.

Sirieix’s row with Rose earlier this week has been one of the main talking points of the series so far.

In case you’ve missed it, the comedian basically didn’t take too kindly to a passing comment made by the Frenchman and accused him of being ‘disrespectful’.

It came after she opened up about her father passing away as Sirieix later remarked that he ‘could be her dad’ - due to their age difference.

This whole thing caused quite the clash and even led to Sirieix’s girlfriend and co-stars weighing in.
