Fred Sirieix - Part 1 - being a dad to Olympic diving sensation Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, travelling the world and why boxing is his FIX!
I’m back for series 9 of Monday Mile! This week, I link up with @fred_sirieix, best known for being the marvellous maître d' on Channel 4’s First Dates.
Fred has had a storied career; he’s also hosted shows like Million Pound Menu and Remarkable Places to Eat, and before that had long stints working at and managing some of the best restaurants in the world, including the Michelin-starred Galvin at Windows. During a sunny walk in Peckham, we chat about his whole career path - from washing plates to hosting First Dates.
We also discuss the importance of starting your day off in the right way, how meditative exercise can be, and our mutual love of boxing. He speaks openly about the pride he feels for his daughter, Olympic Diver Andrea Sirieix, and her inspirational mindset.
