I'm a Celebrity's Fred addresses backlash after getting a "telling off"
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here's third evictee Fred Sirieix has revealed he got a telling off from his mum over his row with Josie Gibson.
Earlier this week, the First Dates and This Morning pair had a falling-out when Sirieix scrutinised Gibson's cooking skills.
"It's highly annoying when somebody is constantly looking over your shoulder, 'do this, do that!' and it's not going to do anything. He's there going, 'ooh la la, you're doing it wrong,'" said Jodie in the Bush Telegraph.

Defending his actions during today's (December 6) edition of This Morning, Sirieix told presenters Emma Willis and Rylan Clark: "I spoke to my mum and she said 'Frederick' – she calls me that when she's upset – 'what did you do with Josie? Why are you telling her what to do?'
"I got a telling off from my mum, she said it's unacceptable and she didn't want me to do it again... she was mad!"
The TV star went on to clarify: "The meals Josie cooked were good. She could cook the meal on the day but I was concerned with how she would use and recycle the bones, vegetables and peels so we could make stock and improve the day after."

Further along the interview, Sirieix said that he'd experienced "nightmares for three months" leading up to his stint in the jungle, "dreaming about bugs and waking up and seeing them on my pillow".
He added: "What people don't see on television is it's a very big camp. To get wood and water you have to go all the way down and up.
"You are living on rice and beans and you have no calories, you are walking very slowly, it's hard."
I'm a Celebrity… airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
