I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here star Fred Sirieix's fiancée Fruitcake was pictured beaming from ear to ear as she departed the UK for Australia, ahead of the jungle star's upcoming exit.
Dressed casually in a pair of combat trousers, a white t-shirt and a woolly cardigan, she completed her look with a pair of comfy white trainers. Clutching a red folder, Fruitcake, who met Fred, 51, while walking along a street in Peckham, London nine years ago appeared excited as she walked past waiting photographers. Fred has done his best to keep her real name a secret while in camp but has spoken about their adorable union over recent days.

The star's wife-to-be was part of many who took to social media in support of Fred after he locked horns with YouTuber Nella Rose over a misunderstanding. While cooking a meal for their campmates last week, the pair were discussing their ages and when talking about their age difference, Fred said he was old enough to be her dad.
The heated exchange, which has now been dubbed #dadgate, left Nella upset as she thought he had been disrespectful as her father had passed away. At the time, Fred tried to apologise to Nella but she hit back saying: "I'm not stupid, you're not going to little girl me, you're not." But this left viewers branding her "entitled."
Breaking her silence Fruitcake re-shared a post from his Instagram to address the bitter war of words. The message red: "Tough watch for some of the show tonight but Fred did us so proud – we know his intention would never be to upset anyone. Keep your head up Fred – we love you."

The pair are now planning to wed next year. Earlier this month, Fruitcake dropped a huge hint that they were set to marry in Negril, Jamaica after she posted a picture of an airplane. She captioned the post saying: "The cat's out of the bag #weddingloading."
But while in the jungle, when Fred first entered, he decided to engage in a discussion about Brexit with former UKIP leader Nigel Farage - and it got heated as Fred labelled the political party's campaign as "shameful." And recently reports have surfaced from supporters of Farage, claiming that his airtime has been "limited" and footage of him speaking about his friendship with Donald Trump was cut. A friend of the former politician told MailOnline: "We are watching very closely. Something is not right. Is there a bigger game afoot?" But a spokesman for the broadcaster denied claims he was being treated unfairly.
