First Dates star Fred Sirieix has married his long-term partner 'Fruitcake' in a lavish ceremony at Pattoo Castle in Negril, Jamaica.
The French maître d'hôtel, 53, and his bride, 50, exchanged vows on February 18, 2025, after delaying their wedding plans due to the pandemic.
The couple shared their joyful news on social media, with Fred posting a photograph of the newlyweds beaming as guests showered them with petals.
The TV personality looked dapper in a white tuxedo jacket and black bow tie, while his new wife stunned in an elegant embellished white dress with a long train and veil.
"Best day of my life!!!!!!" Fruitcake commented on the post.
The couple celebrated their union at the historic Pattoo Castle, with Fruitcake sharing glimpses of the immaculate decorations on social media.
The venue was adorned with elegant table settings, and the ceremony programme was tied with a red, white and blue ribbon.
Guests were treated to stunning views of the Caribbean Sea from the castle grounds.
The fashionista bride, known for her style tips on social media, ensured every detail of the celebration matched the grandeur of their chosen venue.
Sirieix and Fruitcake's love story began nine years ago on the streets of Peckham, where a chance encounter led to an immediate connection.

"I was walking up and she was smiling at me and I was smiling at her and I liked her eyes... I just had to talk to her," Sirieix previously revealed during his time on I'm A Celebrity.
The couple began dating in January 2018, with Sirieix proposing in March 2020.
Their original wedding plans were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Sirieix unable to present his fiancée with a ring during his proposal.
The pair have kept their relationship largely private, though Sirieix occasionally shares snapshots of their romantic getaways on social media.
The celebration comes after Fruitcake bravely battled Bell's Palsy in late 2024, a condition that caused temporary facial paralysis.
She had been rushed to A&E by ambulance after experiencing symptoms similar to a stroke, suffering from "excruciating pain" and facial distortion.
"One of the toughest challenges has been not recognising my reflection in the mirror, which made me retreat from social situations," she shared on social media in December.
The fashion expert, who was diagnosed with the neurological condition, credited the NHS for her care and revealed she was "starting to look more like myself again" ahead of the wedding.
Celebrity friends rushed to congratulate the newlyweds on social media, including Dragons' Den star Sara Davies who commented that "Fruitcake looks stunning!"
Olympic medallist Greg Rutherford wrote: "Huge congratulations my friend."
Sirieix's I'm A Celebrity co-stars shared their joy, with Marvin Humes, Jamie Lynn Spears, Melvin Odoom and Nella Rose all posting celebratory messages.
A Place In The Sun presenter Lucy Alexander wrote: "Ahhh congratulations Fred .. how wonderful."
