February 8th 2025.
A former I'm A Celebrity camp mate, Kim Woodburn, has recently spoken out about her experience with Gino D'Acampo during their time on the show together. Woodburn, now 82, came in as the runner-up to D'Acampo, who was crowned King of the Jungle in 2009. However, her memories of their time on the show are far from positive as she has labeled D'Acampo as a "full-of-himself little pig".
Woodburn, who first rose to fame in her 60s as the host of How Clean Is Your House?, suggested in a recent interview that D'Acampo may have been given a favorable edit to make him look good on the show. She alleged that he made her feel uncomfortable by stroking his crotch, cheating in trials, and swearing at the crew. Woodburn even claimed that he had to be escorted off the set at one point.
In her own words, Woodburn described D'Acampo as "a horrible, vile man" and recalled an incident where he stood over a log and talked to his penis, saying that it would receive a lot of attention once they left the jungle. She also remembered him referring to his private parts as "deprived and neglected".
Despite these negative experiences, D'Acampo was still crowned the King of the Jungle while Woodburn came in second place. However, Woodburn claims that his behavior towards the crew was far from admirable. She alleged that he used foul language and treated the crew like "garbage", even making some of them cry. Woodburn also believes that ITV was wrong to keep him on the show.
These allegations from Woodburn come at a time when D'Acampo has been accused of inappropriate behavior by other colleagues. It has been reported that he "thrust his crotch" at a female colleague and has since been "slowly being sidelined" by ITV as more people come forward with claims against him. As a result, his shows have been pulled from the schedules.
D'Acampo has responded to these allegations, stating that he was never made aware of them and firmly denies any wrongdoing. He expressed shock and dismay at being accused of such behavior and emphasized that it is not in his nature to intentionally upset or distress anyone. He also stated that he has received support from executives and has continued to work on prime-time programs despite these allegations.
Metro has reached out to D'Acampo's representatives for comment on the situation.
