Richard Osman weighed in on the Gino D'Acampo controversy, explaining why the celebrity chef's shows were pulled from television. Osman, known for his role on 'Pointless,' discussed the incident on his podcast, 'The Rest is Entertainment,' with journalist Marina Hyde. He highlighted the importance of a pattern of behavior and the impact on numerous individuals over an extended period, ultimately leading to staff speaking out.
Richard Osman has shared his perspective on the Gino D'Acampo controversy, examining why the celebrity chef's programs have been removed from television schedules. The Pointless host addressed the issue during the latest episode of his podcast with journalist Marina Hyde, The Rest is Entertainment, questioning why these accusations against the former This Morning star took so long to surface.
Gino D'Acampo, 48, faced allegations of 'distressing' and 'sexually inappropriate' conduct in an ITV News investigation last week. Multiple individuals came forward with claims of 'unacceptable' and 'horrendous' behavior spanning over a dozen years. Richard Osman, known for his production credits on shows like Deal or No Deal and Whose Line Is It Anyway, besides his presenting role, commented on the podcast about ITV's decision to cancel Gino's shows following the accusations. Reflecting on the varied viewpoints surrounding the incident, Richard observed: 'You could look at it on one level and some of the papers have done and certainly a lot of the commentators have done and say, 'Oh my God, you can't say anything anymore, this is a huge overreaction, yada yada yada.'' He offered his interpretation of the situation, stating, 'People do not lose their job just because they said a couple of things a couple of times. It's a pattern of behavior, it's upset a number of people over a number of years,' reports the Mirror.He explained that the repetitive nature of the inappropriate behavior inevitably led to staff speaking out: 'We've said before on this show, if you're in trouble as a presenter but actually your crew loves you and people who work with you go, 'That's just what they do and he's a really decent guy,' then you don't get fired.' He pointed out that it takes more than a single incident for action to be taken: 'There has to be a whole series of things that happen, it has to go on long enough and for it to be tiresome enough - which is the word we never use.' Earlier in the episode, Marina shared her insights into why Gino's alleged behavior might have been overlooked for so long. 'It's interesting that nobody confronts in that situation and there's lots of different reasons. There's a sort of reason that it's just Gino being Gino and there is very much a persona that he has been encouraged to play up to.' She also mentioned that financial considerations play a role, as the shows Gino works on are not costly productions, and addressing his behavior could disrupt filming schedules significantly. 'There are these constant value judgements being made by people. 'How bad is it? '' she remarked
