Each episode will see the TV star, who is keen on fitness and cycling, undertake a different challenge on his bike.

This is the first of five journeys bringing their own demands. 

The cycling challenges will bring rewarding experiences along the way as Fred makes his way across several counties from Dublin to Donegal, the Mourne Mountains, Strangford Lough, Belfast, the North Coast, Derry/Londonderry and the Inishowen Peninsula in Donegal.

The French maître d’hôtel and sommelier is well known for his appearances on shows including First Dates and Million Pound Menu. 

He also appeared with Gordan Ramsay and Gino D’Acampo in Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip.

Host, Fred, said: “I’ve always wanted to spend some quality time in Ireland to explore the land, learn about the people, plus its food and culture.”

“Travelling by bike can bring you even closer to a place and those that live there, I can’t wait to get started!” 

The series is due to air on ITV1 and ITVX in 2025.
