Celebrity Gogglebox: Fred Sirieix joins cast as Denise Van Outen’s new partner is revealed

Fruitcake's in and Eddie Boxshall's out!

The Celebrity Gogglebox cast has a few new additions for its fourth series – and among them is First Dates hunk Fred Sirieix.

Not only that, but we’ll finally be able to get to know his fiancée Fruitcake, because she’s signed up with him.

The pair are notoriously private when it comes to their relationship, so it’ll surely be a real treat for fans to get to know the pair as a couple.

A few other famous faces have also joined the line-up of the series, which starts on June 10, among them a new partner for Denise Van Outen following her love split.

A source also said that it’ll be a “real treat” for fans to get to know Fruitcake.

I am looking forward to the public getting to meet the wonderful Fruitcake.

“Viewers have really come to know and love Fred, so seeing him with his own sweetheart for the first time will be a real treat for fans.

“He’s included Fruitcake in a few Instagram snaps before but never like this. Of course, we’re expecting to see some top class snacks on his table too,” they added.
