Channel 4 favourite Fred Sirieix is best known for helping singletons find love in the First Dates restaurant.
But the father-of-two gave fans an insight into his family life as he showed off his daughter’s big moment to his Twitter followers.
Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, 16, is part of the Team GB squad at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games which kicked off on Friday.
He shared a series of photos of his daughter on the social media platform, beaming as she prepared for the diving, which took place on Sunday.
The photo set Fred uploaded online was captioned: “Good luck mon we are all so proud of you.

“Have fun x #olympics #tokyo2020 #diving #platform #10m #teamGB #goAndrea.”
Fans soon took to the replies to flood the young diver with messages of support.
One commented: “How amazing for your family. We will be watching with pride.”

“We will be watching! My 11 year old daughter is a keen diver and has weekly lessons. Your daughter is an inspiration to her. #TeamGB #goAndrea,” shared another.
A third wrote: “How unbelievably exciting for you and your family. Such a shame you can’t be there.”
Of course, the host nation was forced to limit how many people would be able to attend the games earlier this month.
Venues in Tokyo and nearby the city are unable to host spectators after a spike in coronavirus infections.
The teen’s sporting career has been going from strength to strength and she was nominated for BBC’s Young Sports Personality of the Year in 2020.
She announced the news on her Instagram page alongside an adorable childhood snap taken at the poolside.
Andrea said: “ITS OFFICIAL: I’m going to be representing Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics in the summer!!

“I can’t find the words to describe exactly how I’m feeling… It’s every athletes dream to compete at the Olympics and I can’t believe that mine is finally coming true.
“Moments like this make me truly grateful for God, my family, my coach Lin Chen and everyone that has supported me so far in my journey. Baby Andrea would be so proud.
“Super excited to be repping the red, white and blue alongside such an incredibly strong team. Tokyo, HERE WE COME!!!!’
