Fred Sirieix has been made proud yet again by his champion diver daughter Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, who has bagged a nomination for National Lottery Good Causes athlete of the year.

The First Dates star, 50, took to Twitter to excitedly share the news in a post with a link to the lottery site where the nomination was announced.

He wrote: ‘Andrea has been nominated for the National Lottery Good Causes Athlete of the Year Awards #goAndrea.’

In a follow-up post, he stated: ‘I’ve voted for Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix in the 2022 National Lottery Awards! #NLAwards #NLASirieix.’

This is just the latest in a string of occasions in recent times where Siriex has boasted about the 17-year-old athlete.

Andrea recently represented England in the Commonwealth Games, which were held from July 28 to August 8 in Birmingham and earned herself a gold medal.

He was seen crying in the audience as he watched her snatch the title.

And just last week the proud papa shared on Twitter that the swim champ had won yet another gold medal at the European Championships in Rome.

Andrea came up tops in the women’s 10m platform event at the European Championships in Rome – scoring her first individual title.

Fred shared a series of photos of his daughter and wrote: ‘Andrea just won at the European Championships in Rome #diving #10m #platform #goAndrea.

‘Nail bitting [sic] stuff once again! What a great last dive! My little has nerves of steel Well done my love we are so proud of you. You are an inspiration and a ray of sunshine x.’

Andrea scored 76.80 for her final dive, with an incredible total of 333.60.

It’s been an emotional few weeks for Fred, after he was left in tears when Andrea won gold at the Commonwealth Games.

They saw Andrea and her partner Noah Williams triumph in the mixed discipline event as their fifth and final dive earned them 74.88 for a total of 333.06.

Taking to Twitter, Fred congratulated his daughter alongside a shot of them both and a look at the leaderboard.

He tweeted at the time: ‘It’s gold in the mixed #diving #10m #platform #synchro I’m crying! Andrea and Noah well done to you both (sic).’

Alongside a clip of their dive, he added: ‘What a way to end #commonwealthgames’

Fred shares Andrea with his ex, Alex Spendolini.

While he largely keeps his current relationship out of the spotlight, in 2020, he revealed he had proposed to his longtime girlfriend, who he refers to as Fruitcake.
