Fred Sirieix's fiancée, known affectionately as Fruitcake, has recently opened up about a health condition she has been diagnosed with. The couple, who have been together for ten years, often share pictures of their romantic dates and luxurious vacations on social media. However, Fruitcake took to Instagram to reveal the tough challenge she has been facing with her health.
In a series of selfies, Fruitcake showed her face, which appeared swollen in different areas, and shared that she had been diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. This condition, also experienced by I'm A Celebrity star Tulisa Contostavlos, has caused her to endure excruciating pain, facial distortion, and discomfort. It has even led to her not being able to recognize her own reflection, which has been heart-wrenching for her.
Fruitcake explained that she had been away for the past couple of months due to her diagnosis. Bell's Palsy causes temporary weakness or paralysis on one side of the face, similar to a stroke. When she called the NHS helpline, she was immediately rushed to the hospital for urgent care. While she is managing ongoing issues like visual disturbances and aches in her ear and jaw, she is grateful for each day's blessings and is slowly starting to look more like herself again.
However, one of the toughest challenges for Fruitcake has been not recognizing her own reflection in the mirror, which has caused her to retreat from social situations. But with the love and support of her family and friends, she is determined to overcome this obstacle. She also expressed her gratitude for the NHS staff who have taken care of her during this difficult time.
Fruitcake also shared that she has been delving into researching the condition, something she had never heard of before her diagnosis. She has found inspiration in hearing the stories of others going through similar situations. Despite the challenges, she is feeling blessed that her recovery is progressing faster than expected.
As the holiday season approaches, Fruitcake wishes everyone a lovely Christmas and a healthy 2025. She reassures her followers that she will be back soon to share her fashion finds but urges them to stay safe and take care of their health.
She ended her post with the hashtags #lifecomesatyoufast, #healthiswealth, #listentoyourbody, and #thankfulandgratefulalways. The outpouring of love and support from her followers, including her fiancé Fred, has been overwhelming for Fruitcake. She later thanked them for their messages and promised to respond to each one individually.
According to the NHS, Bell's Palsy can cause temporary weakness or lack of movement on one side of the face. Fruitcake's followers have showered her with love and support, with Fred expressing his love and fellow I'm A Celebrity star Danielle Harold sending her lots of love.
Fruitcake and Fred have been together for ten years and announced their engagement in March 2020. They had planned to get married in 2021, but due to the pandemic, they had to postpone their wedding. The couple had an emotional reunion after Fred's stint on I'm A Celebrity last year, where he revealed their plans to get married in Jamaica in 2024.
In an interview with his campmates, Fred shared how he met Fruitcake in Peckham and was immediately drawn to her smile and eyes. They exchanged numbers and went on a date, and the rest is history. Despite the challenges they have faced, the couple's love and commitment to each other remain stronger than ever. And as Fred said, they have a wedding to attend, so Fruitcake's recovery is their top priority.
