During his I'm A Celebrity stint in 2023, Fruitcake revealed Fred was obsessed with getting into his tiny swimwear any chance he could. Speaking to the Daily Mail at the time, she said: 'I haven't seen clips of him in his Speedos yet and I am surprised. You know you are allowed to take in five pieces of underwear? He took three speedos and two pants. 'If he could he would be a naturist walking round in there so the fact he is just in his pants doesn't surprise me. When he is with Gino D'Acampo and Gordon Ramsay he is always the one getting his kit off.' She added: 'He's got one pair with the French flag. I'm surprised that he hasn't worn them. I swear the man lives in them And he's got one that's red and I think one that's blue.'
