Gino D'Acampo, the beloved Italian celebrity chef known for his appearances on popular shows like "This Morning" and "Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip," has found himself at the center of controversy. Reports have surfaced of alleged inappropriate behavior towards a woman on the set of "This Morning" back in 2011. It seems that this incident has caused ITV to slowly distance themselves from Gino.
The woman, who has chosen to remain anonymous, came forward with her complaint just last week, following a similar situation involving another celebrity chef. Gino, who was the resident chef on "This Morning" at the time, has also faced complaints of inappropriate behavior on his other shows, including "Saturday Cooks" and "Emission Impossible." According to sources, Gino's accuser was motivated to speak out after recent comments made by another chef denying similar allegations.
It's been reported that Gino's behavior was well-known among his colleagues and that he often joked about not wanting to become more famous because it would mean he would have to "curtail his behavior." This has led to him being slowly sidelined by ITV, with plans for "Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip" to return for a fifth season without Gino's involvement. Last year, Gino announced his departure from the show, citing scheduling conflicts and contract complications. However, it is now being reported that he may have left due to his refusal to sign a morality clause in his contract.
In addition to this, Gino has also been put on a language and behavioral course by ITV executives. He has been accused of making inappropriate jokes and gestures, such as flashing his "sporran" on his show "Emission Impossible." While some of these actions may have been tolerated in the past, it seems that they have become harder to ignore in recent years.
ITV has released a statement regarding their commitment to creating a respectful and safe working environment for all their employees. They have also promised to investigate any complaints or concerns raised and take appropriate action if necessary. Gino's representatives have not yet responded to these allegations.
This is not the first time Gino has faced controversy in his career. Last year, he was caught with cannabis while returning to the UK after filming "Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip." He was stopped, cautioned, and fined for possession, but it was later reported that the drugs were for his own medicinal use and he was issued a warning instead.
Despite these incidents, Gino remains a popular figure in the entertainment industry. He is set to host the game show "Family Fortunes" next year, and his other shows, such as "This Morning" and "Gino's Italian Escape," continue to air. It remains to be seen how ITV and Gino's career will be affected by these allegations. We have reached out to both parties for further comment.
