Celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo is facing multiple allegations of inappropriate and intimidating behavior on the set of his television programs, which he vehemently denies. An ITV News investigation revealed these accusations, with 'dozens' of individuals claiming D'Acampo made 'unacceptable,' 'distressing,' and 'horrendous' comments. D'Acampo's legal team responded, stating he 'firmly denied' the 'deeply upsetting' allegations.
\The allegations stem from anonymous staff members who have worked with D'Acampo on various TV productions. He is accused of aggressive behavior, using abusive language during on-set outbursts, and employing sexually charged language. According to ITV News, his conduct allegedly left some staff members feeling fearful and uncomfortable. These claims span over a decade. \One account detailed an incident where D'Acampo allegedly threatened a colleague over an ice cream. 'I was present when Gino said to the runner, 'If you don’t get me a Cornetto I will f*** your girlfriend'', she recounted. 'I felt appalled, disgusted, embarrassed and very angry.' Another woman alleged that during a magazine shoot in 2011, D'Acampo told her in front of the crew that he wanted to turn her over and 'f*** me up the a***'. She added: 'I felt like Gino, in that moment, was very entitled and he felt very safe.' D'Acampo's legal team told ITV News he did not recall the incident nor accept its occurrence. \'I am a father, husband and have worked with well over 1,500 people on around 80 productions in my career, which I have been so proud of. I take such matters extremely seriously,' D'Acampo stated. Several of D'Acampo's shows have been affected by these allegations, including 'Gordon, Gino & Fred's Road Trip,' 'Gino's Italian Escape,' 'Family Fortunes,' and 'Gino's Italian Family Adventure.' In a statement, ITV said production companies 'have the primary responsibility for the duty of care of everyone they work with.' A spokesperson for the broadcaster said it had 'strengthened' policies regarding the standards they expect from production companies they collaborate with in the past five years. 'All of the concerns and complaints raised by those who have spoken to ITN describe behaviour which is inappropriate and unacceptable,' the statement continued. 'Most of them were not reported to ITV at the time. Where issues have been raised with ITV action has been taken.'\Gordon, Gino And Fred's Road Trip production company, Objective Media Group, stated: 'We have robust protocols and procedures in place for all cast and crew, including on-screen talent, that we review regularly whilst also ensuring that we take into account developments regarding industry wide 'Duty of Care' guidelines.' The production company emphasized: 'Across all productions we encourage people to raise any concerns at the earliest opportunity... If there are incidents or complaints reported, we implement our Escalation Procedure and ensure that a full and thorough process is followed in close collaboration with the broadcaster.
