TV chef Gino D’Acampo accused of ‘sexually inappropriate’ behaviour as ‘dozens come forward with complaints’
TV chef Gino D'Acampo has been accused of "sexually inappropriate" and "intimidating" behaviour as dozens come forward with complaints.
"He does not recall it, nor accept that this happened. Mr D’Acampo is horrified to be accused of “power play” and an “aggressive act”.Another woman, who has been given the name Natalie, also claimed she felt Gino's behaviour was "aggressive".She alleged: "He opened the door in his boxer shorts, nothing else. And jumped on the bed and was sort of - leg up.
The same year Gino is alleged to have made a comment about another young female colleague who claimed he said: "Shouldn’t we be talking about her t***, they’re perfect, they’re like a mouthful." The production company Objective Media Group said in an email seen by ITV in 2024 that issues also arose in 2023 on the Emission Impossible set.
In 2018 he allegedly told another young female colleague: "Shouldn’t we be talking about her t***, they’re perfect, they’re like a mouthful." "I have never been made aware of these matters previously and the allegations are firmly denied. I would not do anything that I thought would upset or distress anyone."Not only have these allegations never been raised with me before, I have been repeatedly supported by executives at the highest level and was commissioned on prime-time programmes during the period in which it is now suggested I was acting inappropriately.
"Our promise to those we work with is that where a complaint is made, or serious concerns raised, we will always investigate and if we find that something inappropriate has happened, we will take action. Objective Media Group's response was that Gino was "spoken to about the differences between on screen character material and behaviour off screen with members of the team".
"The first time that Mr D’Acampo became aware of these allegations was via ITN’s request for comment and, even then, no context has been provided for any of these statements.
