Celebrity stag do

Ben went on to question Fred about rumours claiming Gino D’Acampo and Gordon Ramsay are planning his stag.

The star laughed and confirmed: “Yes!

“But listen, it’s going to be fun. If Gino organises the stag do, I think that we are all going to have a good time.”

He added: “Fruitcake was having nightmares but I reassured her it’s all going to be good so she shouldn’t worry too much.”
