Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has made his first social media appearance since serious allegations surfaced against his longtime friend and fellow chef, Gino D’Acampo.
Gino D’Acampo Accused of Misconduct
A recent investigation by ITV News has brought forward allegations of “sexually inappropriate” behavior against Gino D’Acampo, spanning over 12 years. Multiple individuals have come forward with claims against the 47-year-old television personality, who is best known for his roles on This Morning and Gordon, Gino & Fred: Road Trip.
In response, Gino has denied all allegations, stating:
“I strongly refute these allegations. They are deeply upsetting, and I will be taking legal advice on the matter.”
The scandal has sent shockwaves through the television industry, raising questions about the future of Gino’s career and ongoing projects.
Gordon Ramsay’s Response
Despite the growing controversy, Gordon Ramsay, 57, took to social media but did not directly comment on the allegations. Instead, he shared a lighthearted post about his visit to Pizzeria Bianco, captioning it:
“Great seeing you Pizzeria Bianco at your original spot! Amazing pizza. Gx.”
He also posted a recipe video for Super Bowl snacks, writing:
“Game day corn ribs anyone?? Change up your Super Bowl Sunday with some simple Buffalo Style Corn Ribs.”
While Ramsay himself has remained silent on the accusations, his production company, Studio Ramsay, released an official statement:
“Studio Ramsay has not worked on a series with Gino D’Acampo since 2022. We take all allegations of inappropriate behavior and workplace misconduct seriously, promptly investigate, and take appropriate remedial action when warranted.”
End of Gordon, Gino & Fred: Road Trip
The ITV series Gordon, Gino & Fred: Road Trip officially concluded in March 2023, several months before these allegations emerged. Gino had previously announced his departure, citing scheduling conflicts and contract disputes.
Speaking on Heart Radio, Gino explained:
“I love the boys, Gordon is a cool guy, and Fred we’ve known each other for a long time. What happened was we tried to put the dates down to do the show and then all of a sudden they get canceled.”
“The contract was also getting bigger and more stressful, so I thought let me get out of this before the friendship is going to suffer. I’d rather have the friendship and not have the show.”
What’s Next for Gino D’Acampo?
The impact of these allegations on Gino’s television career remains uncertain. ITV has yet to comment on whether he will continue working with the network. Additionally, future projects, including Gino and Fred: Emission Impossible, are now in limbo.
As of now, Gino has not posted on social media since the allegations came to light. Industry insiders and fans alike are closely watching for further developments that may determine the future of his career.
