While most of his fans know Fred best for dishing out advice to singletons in a smart bit of Saville Row tailoring, outside of work he’s completely different.

It turns out Fred prefers a more casual look and even has a favourite t-shirt emblazoned with the face of late rapper Biggie Smalls.

And if you wondered how he keeps so trim after spending hours every day working in Paternoster Chop House from the hit Channel 4 series – it turns out he’s a fitness freak as well.

Fred, 46, only went public with his new love on January 13 – confirming rumours he’d split with Alex and moved out of their South London home.
