Gino D’Acampo’s Naked Stunt on This Morning Resurfaces Amid Scandals

February 7, 2025

A clip reemerged, displaying Gino D’Acampo in a surprising incident on This Morning; he was only covered by an apron and a “manhood protector” to maintain his privacy.

As a connoisseur of all things lifestyle-related, I must address the recent allegations that have surfaced against an esteemed Italian chef, aged 48. These accusations, spanning a 12-year timespan, involve inappropriate sexual behavior and intimidation. The chef has firmly denied these claims.

In the midst of recent scrutiny by ITV News, a previously aired segment has resurfaced, featuring my good friend Gino D’Acampo preparing a dish – specifically gammon – au naturel in our beloved kitchen studio, with the gracious hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield looking on. Quite the unique cooking demonstration, wouldn’t you agree?

Gino made an appearance on the program, wearing no clothes, as he had impulsively agreed to present one of his culinary segments naked if the show were to win a National Television Award in 2011.

However, while preparing his meal, he suddenly took off his apron to disclose that ITV viewers had sent him homemade knitted “warmers for the boys,” which he was wearing to safeguard his “main course and side dish.

As a fervent admirer, I couldn’t help but notice when the renowned chef grew slightly agitated by the knitted accessories adorning his person. Not long after, he swiftly discarded them both – one of which bore the vibrant hues of the Italian flag.

Philip expressed astonishment by shaking his head and stated, ‘I never thought I’d witness us carrying out this action in all my days.’

However, Holly remained calm and inquired from Gino if the meat in the dish needed to be smoked or left unsmoked instead.

When Holly stood beside Gino behind the counter, peeling and mixing peas with mascarpone, she found herself unsure about where to direct her gaze.

Even Philip was compelled to step back and look away as he removed some delicious-smelling potatoes from the oven.

With the meal finished Phillip warned the still nude chef: ‘For heaven’s sake, don’t bow!’

He commented: ‘I must say, it seemed quite graceful, didn’t it? I believe we managed to pull that off.’

The episode aired on the day following when This Morning received the accolade for Best Magazine Show at the National Television Awards in 2011.

The recently discovered video surfaces mere hours following renewed allegations against the chef, with a total of 40 individuals now claiming incidents of inappropriate and overbearing conduct.

ITV News reported, as part of their ongoing investigation, they have interviewed more than forty individuals who either witnessed or personally encountered alleged inappropriate or threatening conduct by the renowned chef.

D’Acampo’s TV shows have been removed from the ITV schedule because of the claims.

The star has denied all allegations against him, saying he finds them deeply distressing.

Based on ITV News reports, it is known that at least one production firm was made aware of recurring concerns about Gino’s conduct from employees, but they still chose to collaborate with him on additional television productions.

On Friday, ITV pulled all of Gino’s shows from its upcoming schedules, TopMob revealed.

In 2011, a woman identified as Hannah recounted an unsettling incident that took place during a photo session for a magazine.

According to her, during a gathering with everyone present, Gino allegedly made an inappropriate and sexually explicit remark towards her. He said something along the lines of expressing desire to have intimate relations with her, specifically on the kitchen counter from behind, which left her embarrassed and humiliated.

She recollected a gentle wave of chuckles, as meanwhile, others seemed apprehensive, peering tentatively into their cups of tea.

Hannah expressed that the event left her both stunned and terrified, yet she wasn’t taken aback that nobody stepped in to help.

Gino has firmly denied all allegations, calling them ‘deeply upsetting’.

His lawyers stated: “For nearly 15 years, this accusation against Mr. D’Acampo hasn’t been brought up or presented to him before now, through a media inquiry. He doesn’t remember the incident, and he denies that it occurred.

A different woman, known as Natalie, shared a disturbing incident during her discussion with Gino regarding a filming location.

‘He opened the door in his boxer shorts, nothing else,’ she claimed.

Later, he leaped onto the mattress, raised one of his legs high and humorously alluded to his personal area, jesting about its dimensions.

Natasha expressed her sense of revulsion and accused the TV cook of misusing his authority by acting improperly.

According to Gino’s lawyers, the account presented is not accurate. They declared that as far as they know, no accusations related to ‘Gino’s Italian Express’ have been brought forth against him.

Six years after these events were said to have occurred, he’s only just learned about them for the first time. However, he firmly maintains that he has no involvement or knowledge in these supposed incidents.

In another accusation, a previous coworker asserted that in the year 2019, Gino confronted a junior team member forcefully about an ice cream incident.

A witness reportedly overheard Gino making this threat to the runner: “If you can’t bring me an ice cream cone (Cornetto), I will trouble your girlfriend,” they informed ITV News.

Another crew member who witnessed the incident said the remark had ‘stuck in my head for years’.

‘He was using his power to bully and intimidate us,’ she said. ‘For what? A cookery programme.’

Gino’s representatives stated that he was deeply embarrassed by the allegation and has no memory of the event whatsoever.

A separate claim relates to the filming of Gordon, Gino and Fred’s Road Trip in 2018.

Lena remembered: “He didn’t greet me nor say good morning; instead, he abruptly declared he was in a bad mood that day.

A fellow team member asserted that Gino uttered an inappropriate remark concerning a female teammate’s breasts, supposedly stating something to that effect.

‘Shouldn’t we be talking about her t**? They’re perfect, like a mouthful.’

In my line of work as a lifestyle expert, I recently uncovered some interesting insights. Back in 2018, it seems that the production company Objective Media Group, responsible for creating popular shows like Gordon, Gino and Fred, had already been made aware of concerns regarding Gino. This bit of information adds another layer to our understanding of the dynamics within this beloved trio’s work environment.

As a devoted admirer, I find myself sharing an observation about a man from Gino’s Italian Express. To the reporters at ITV News, this woman expressed that his charming and playful demeanor, which he affectionately calls his “cheeky chappy” persona, is so effective it enables him to blend in effortlessly among us. In my own experience, when I spot him on television, I have an irresistible urge to vacate the room.

As a die-hard admirer, I’ve got to say, it’s hard to believe the claims against the charismatic Gino, whose fame and fortune have been fueled by his extraordinary persona. However, he’s vehemently refuted every allegation levied against him.

According to his legal team, no one has ever brought such allegations directly to Mr. D’Acampo. He doesn’t remember making these statements, and he denies that they were said by him.
