Sirieix shared a video clip of her competing to his Instagram where he can be heard cheering her on as the crowd applaud her dive.
He captioned the post: “Gold! #commonwealthgames2022 #diving #10m #platform”, adding: “Well done mon duck” with a duck and heart emoji.
The maitre d’ on Channel 4’s First Dates was also pictured cheering her on and celebrating following the achievement.

It’s amazing for it to be on home soil, a home games, the first time that I’ve actually had a crowd because I didn’t have one at Tokyo and at the other internationals I’ve done I haven’t really had a big crowd.
“It’s been incredible, I’ve had so much fun. I wasn’t really scared I was so peaceful, so I’m just really, really happy with how it went.”
