I’m A Celebrity’s Fred Sirieix starts doing press-ups in front of Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly ahead of his first solo Bushtucker Trial

He previously revealed that he maintains his muscled physique by doing 300 press-ups a day. 

And Fred Sirieix hasn’t stopped his fitness regime in the jungle, with the star even doing the exercises ahead of his first solo trial on Monday’s I’m A Celebrity.

The professional chef, 51, was determined to take on the Celebrity Distressing Rooms challenge to find stars for camp.

The celebrities had to choose one person to take part and Fred immediately volunteered, saying: ‘I will go. I will go.’

Sam Thompson said: ‘You’ve got to stand up and explain why’, with Fred replying: ‘Because I haven’t done one yet. So, I’m going.’

Tony Bellew added: ‘Let’s just take our time and everyone have a little say of why they think they should do it before we just jump in and rush off. Chill out Freds.’

But Fred continued: ‘I’m going to go. I want to go because I want to go and do my best to bring the stars, to bring stars back for you. If everybody agrees that I’m going, then we’re done.’

Tony said: ‘One at a time mate’ while Nella Rose joked: ‘I’d love a day off lads.’

Marvin Humes chimed in: ‘More than happy to do it, will do my best always.’

Sam asked: ‘Shall we do rock, paper, scissors?’ causing Fred to say: ‘This camp has all been equal… it’s only fair I go. If you want me to go, just say. Can you vote for me? Thank you. I am delighted.’

In the Bush Telegraph Nick Pickard said: ‘I don’t think Fred was having anyone else do it today. From his perspective it’s like he’s not done anything. But doing the Trials is your way of really contributing to the group.’

Marvin in the Bush Telegraph said: ‘I was definitely up for doing it, but we just want to eat. Whoever is up for doing them should just crack on and do them. So yeah, the French man has spoken.’

Arriving at the Trial clearing Fred told hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly: ‘I’m feeling great, I was always going to come here and do a Trial this morning because I haven’t done one, so it’s only fair that I volunteer for this.’

Fred told MailOnline in March that his secret to having a six-pack aged 51, includes doing over 300 press-ups per day 

And it appears that his training is worth it because the TV star managed to get seven out of nine stars in the trial

Dec joked: ‘You were pretty determined to be today though, weren’t you?’

Fred said: ‘It’s fair, it’s the right thing to do. Lots of the other campmates have done lots of Trials, I haven’t done any yet. They have been voted by the public, so I said, let’s go.’

Then Ant noted: ‘You never like to sit still do you, Fred?’ which caused Fred to drop to the floor and start doing press-ups.

Fred told MailOnline in March that his secret to having a six-pack aged 51, includes doing over 300 press-ups per day.

He said his vigorous fitness regime consists of daily strength and core exercises that he maintains even when he’s filming.

He was inspired by US chef and military veteran Andre Rush, who completes 2,222 press-ups every day.

Fred set himself the challenge of doing 30 each minute for a total of 10 minutes, and adding one for luck, increasing the amount he achieves as he persists with the exercise.

And it appears that his training is worth it because the TV star managed to get seven out of nine stars in the trial. 

The First Dates star had to search his way through different rooms that belonged to celebrities to find stars

The first, belonging to Dame Judi Stench, saw Fred look through rotten fruits and vegetables while having cockroaches fall on him from the ceiling

He also had to face down rats in Rat Damon’s dressing room, snakes in Dolly Python, green ants in Bruce Sting-Steen and Dec’s worst fear of pigeons in Pecklan Donnelly’s room
