Fred Sirieix has praised his daughter Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix after she secured gold in the women’s 10 metre platform diving final at the Commonwealth Games.
The First Dates star proudly watched on from the sidelines as the 17-year-old clinched her first-ever senior international gold medal in the event.
Sirieix shared a video clip of her competing to his Instagram where he can be heard cheering her on as the crowd applaud her dive.
He captioned the post: “Gold! #commonwealthgames2022 #diving #10m #platform”, adding: “Well done mon duck” with a duck and heart emoji.
The maitre d’ on Channel 4’s First Dates was also pictured cheering her on and celebrating following the achievement.
Spendolini-Sirieix topped the leaderboard with a huge 20.20 points, with her team-mate Lois Toulson winning silver.
Last year during her Olympic depute in Tokyo, she placed seventh at age 16.
“It’s been incredible, I’ve had so much fun. I wasn’t really scared I was so peaceful, so I’m just really, really happy with how it went.”
