I am dying to find out how vile the food will be!\u201d<\/p>\n Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cI don\u2019t think there is anything, but I am looking forward to learning more about myself during my time in the camp.\u201d<\/p>\n Best and worst attributes: <\/strong>\u201cI like to have fun, but I do snore and I am impatient!\u201d<\/p>\n Dream camper: <\/strong>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be nice to meet everyone, but I\u2019d love to see Dolly Parton, The Rock or Snoop Dogg in there.\u201d<\/p>\n It was, in fact, Sirieix\u2019s fear of all things I\u2019m a Celebrity that led him to accept the offer.<\/p>\n \u201cI knew it was serious when I got the call,\u201d he said ahead of the show\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n \u201cI got scared and I don\u2019t like to be limited by fear. But then I thought, \u2018OK, this is a challenge,\u2019 and I knew I wanted to do it.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a challenge to be away from my friends, family, comfort, only drinking water, no coffee, no wine, no mustard on my steak and \u2013 in fact \u2013 no steak!<\/p>\n \u201cI am seeing this as a wellness retreat. It\u2019s an opportunity to get closer to myself inside my head and to see life through a different lens and in a place I feel uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n While admitting the show will be \u201chard\u201d, he is looking forward to stepping outside of his comfort zone, similar to the other celebrities taking part.<\/p>\n He explained: \u201cI have been training harder than I have trained in the last three or four years. I go to the gym, I go to boxing, I train like a machine \u2013 that\u2019s my way to cope with doing I\u2019m a Celebrity. This isn\u2019t a 100m race. You are going in for the long haul.\u201d<\/p>\n Sirieix admitted he will miss his family more than anything, but he is hoping to make his children proud.<\/p>\n \u201cAs my son said to me recently: \u2018Don\u2019t worry, daddy, there is nothing that you are going to be buried with that is going to kill you!’\u201d<\/p> Who is Fred Sirieix?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
