First Dates star Fred Sirieix goes wild as he watches rugby sevens with France fans at Paris Olympics

FIRST DATES star Fred Sirieix was caught going absolutely wild during France’s Olympic semi-final win over South Africa in the rugby sevens.

Proud Frenchman Sirieix jumped on spectators and cheered ‘Allez les Blues’ with thousands of fans while covering the game for the BBC.

Sirieix appeared to be engulfed in the Olympic spirit as France come from behind to claim a 19-5 victory over the African powerhouse.

Dupont’s side later won the first gold medal for the hosts after beating double Olympic champions Fiji 28-7 in the Stade de France, which will later hold the athletics.

And Fred’s semi-final celebrations gave fans a taste of what he might be like if his daughter claims an Olympic medal in diving this week.

London-born teenager Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix – who is a double European champion – is a world-class diver for Team GB.

The 19-year-old will perform in the women’s synchronised 10m next Wednesday, and the single 10m platform on August 5.

Dad Fred is expected to be a studio guest for the diving competitions, where he could be required to analyse his daughter’s performance.

The BBC wrote: “Think Fred enjoyed the rugby sevens.”

While a fan replied on X: “They need you on every day! What eloquent passion Bravo!”

A second added: “Love listening to you Fred! Great way to start the weekend.”

A third said: “We need Fred back for the Six Nations next year!”

The 52-year-old later posted on X: “What a game!”, after France were named Olympic champs.

Elsewhere, South Africa won the bronze medal match after claiming a 26-19 victory over Australia.
