On Friday, Discovery aired an all-new episode of Gold Rush: Mine Rescue, during which Freddy and Juan Ibarra continued their quest to dig up gold in the West.
Before the episode aired, Freddy took to social media to ask fans to tune in, posting a photo of some mine discoveries.
Although Freddy didn’t appear in the post, fans in the comments took the opportunity to catch a glimpse of him.
In the episode, he appeared thinner than in previous episodes, although it’s unclear if this was what sparked fear among fans.
Fans have expressed concern about him in the past, noting an abrupt weight loss.
“Hey guys, please check out a NEW SEASON of MINE RESCUE WITH Freddy and Juan tonight at 8pm EST on @Discovery. Thank you and share if you want,” the star pleaded.
One concerned commenter asked: “Hey Freddy, are you ok???”
Freddy appeared in Gold Rush before launching a spin-off series.
CANCER SCARE
During the show’s 8th season, which aired six years ago, Freddy discovered that his doctors were worried that he might have cancer.
He underwent tests, which were documented on the show, and discovered he was cancer-free.
“They cut it out of me and it was benign,” he shared with his friends and co-stars about getting a job.
Still, fans have worried about him at various points over the years.
ARE YOU WELL?
In 2022, after another episode of the show, a Gold Rush: Mine Rescue fan turned to Reddit for answers after noticing changes in Freddy’s appearance.

“Freddy seems a little unhealthy? I know he’s gained a little weight over the years, but watching Mine Rescue this season, he looks like he has a heart attack waiting to happen. Does anyone know if something is happening to him?” asked the fan.
A second replied: “Probably the strain of running a business, being on the road and being on TV.”
“Freddy is a really nice guy. I hope he’s okay,” wrote a third fan.
“I know he had a cancer scare a few years ago. He doesn’t seem to be doing well carrying extra weight on that small frame. I hope he loses a few pounds to ease the strain on his body,” a fourth supporter shared. .
“A good sign is that he is out and about doing a lot of things, some of which are reasonably difficult work. Much more worrying than if he was sitting at home in front of the tuve due to lack of energy and mojo. I wish you good luck,” praised a fifth fan.
“He had that cancer scare,” noted another.
