During Monday night's episode of ITV's "I'm a Celebrity," Fred Sirieix, a celebrity, was presented with a challenge that involved a space filled with rats. This was his inaugural attempt at a solo Bushtucker Trial.

The 51-year-old expert cook will be seen taking on the Celebrity Distressing Rooms challenge in an upcoming episode, as shown in a preview clip. His task will involve locating stars.

The famous participant of First Dates show will face a challenge of navigating through spoiled produce with cockroaches descending on him from above.

Up until now, it appears that Fred is doing a good job with the challenge as he stepped into the initial changing area known as Rat Damon's.

Amusingly, Fred is heard saying "Hi, hi, hi" as a way to greet the rats to help him feel calm.

On the latest episode of the TV show "I'm a Celebrity," the 51-year-old Fred Sirieix was presented with a challenge that involved being in a room with many rats. This was the first time he has ever done a solo Bushtucker Trial. It aired on Monday night on ITV.

In a sneak preview of the next episode, the experienced chef will take on the Celebrity Distressing Rooms task, attempting to discover stars.

However, can he sustain the pace set by Tony Bellew and Nella Rose's impressive streak of nine stars and emerge as the top contender for the camp?

During the latest Sunday night episode, Fred found himself in yet another intense argument with Josie Gibson while cooking.

Fred has been getting more and more annoyed since he had to give up cooking responsibilities to This Morning host Josie, who is 38 years old. He's finding it difficult not to interfere while she's preparing dinner.

In the most recent episode, he once again disrupted her attempt to prepare their sausage and potato meal. She complained to Nella Rose that he just couldn't let it go.

People swiftly responded to his conduct, with one individual writing on Twitter: "Fred, it's time to mature...just because you work as a chef doesn't make you the designated cook. #ImACeleb."

Someone else expressed: 'Wow, Fred, give Josie some space to prepare the food. #ImACeleb.'

The latest episode on Saturday night showed that the tensions between Nella and Fred escalated.

Although the duo had a rough start due to their well-known disagreement, now dubbed dad-gate, it appears that they were able to resolve their issues and move past them.

The celebrity from First Dates is going to have to navigate his way through spoiled produce and fruits, all the while enduring the disturbance of cockroaches raining down on him from above.

Up to this point, it appears that Fred is taking the challenge in stride as he ventures into the initial dressing room designated as Rat Damon's.

It's quite amusing how Fred repeats the word 'Hello' several times to greet rats and maintain composure.

However, can he match Tony Bellew and Nella Rose's impressive streak of nine stars and bring back the stars for his team?

But, following a few days of stressful discussions about the unsatisfactory cleaning of dishes, the situation between the two individuals escalated once again. Nella cried out, "It's only rice!"

In the latest episode that aired on Friday, the 26-year-old YouTuber took over as the leader of the camp. One of the first tasks they undertook was reassigning the chores, and as a result, Fred was no longer in charge of cooking but rather responsible for washing the pots.

Last night Fred created a disagreement by stating that the pots and pans weren't washed well and were still filthy from the dinner that took place the previous night.

Nella and Danielle Harold, who is a deputy leader, wanted to show Fred the consequences of his actions. They decided that if he thought the people responsible for washing the dishes weren't doing it correctly, he should take it upon himself to wash them.

Josie Gibson and Tony Bellew have become the camp's cooks, but Fred is having a hard time surrendering his control over the kitchen.

It's not only Nella who is getting upset with him, but also the This Morning host and the boxer are getting irritated with the 51-year-old.

While Josie was starting to make breakfast, Fred inquired: "Hey Josie, did you prepare the beans? Did you soak them beforehand?" After that, he started to give commands to Tony on how to set up the stove.

"Tony, ensure that it's completely flat. It's not completely flat yet..."

In the latest episode of the camp series, popular YouTuber Nella Rose (who is shown in the picture) became the leader of the group and decided to switch up the tasks. She switched Fred's position from being the chef to being the one in charge of washing the pots.

While Josie started cooking breakfast, Fred inquired if she had prepared the beans and if she had soaked them. He then proceeded to give Tony directions on how to put the pan on the fire.

Fred spoke through the Bush Telegraph and mentioned that Tony and Josie were preparing their debut breakfast. The breakfast primarily consisted of boiled rice. However, there are certain techniques to cook the rice.

If the rice is not prepared correctly, it can have a bitter flavor that is not enjoyable, especially in the morning. Therefore, it is hoped that the rice will be cooked properly.

As they were in the campsite, he said, "Josie, has the rice been cooked? What's the distance left until we reach...". As Josie replied, "It's boiling, but it's not completely cooked yet."

Sharing her irritation, she expressed to the camera, "Tony and I work as the cooks. He's currently washing dishes. He needs to let me take charge. Only Tony and I can handle that task, not Fred."

In the meantime, sous chef Tony shared in the private diary room saying, "Fred will act in his own way. He is a skilled chef who closely supervises us while we are preparing food."

"I understand that it may be bothersome, Josie. However, I assure you that it will stir up a response in a short while. So, relax and relish your popcorn as we eagerly anticipate the exciting outcome."

However, Josie felt the need to express her thoughts, so she made her way to the bus where she could approach Nella, the new camp leader, and say: 'He's constantly interfering.'

In response, Nella stated, "My ultimate goal is to have an enjoyable time exploring the wilderness and having novel encounters. Everyone should have the liberty to experiment with different things. So, if cooking is what you desire..."

"Josie said that he has stopped cooking and she doesn't believe he will understand it again."
