He now finds himself in hot water after being accused of inappropriate and intimidating behaviourCredit: Rex FeaturesNow he is facing serious allegations of inappropriate and intimidating behaviour spanning over 15 years.
An investigation by ITV News has uncovered claims from multiple individuals who have worked with him, alleging instances of sexually explicit comments and aggressive conduct dating back to 2011.
Now ITV have cut all ties with their Italian star, ditching two episodes of Gino's Italy: Secrets of the South this weekend and pulling any plans for more Family Fortunes.
Specific accusations include making lewd remarks, such as telling a colleague he felt like having sex that morning and engaging in intimidating actions towards production staff.
READ MORE FEATURESOne woman, who has been called Hannah to protect her identity, told ITV News Correspondent Sejal Karia the TV chef made inappropriate sexual comments to her on a job in 2011.
She alleged he told her he would "like to turn me over and f*** me up the a*** against the kitchen counter".
One individual recounted an incident where he allegedly threatened a runner, saying: "If you don’t get me a Cornetto I will f*** your girlfriend."
In response, Gino has firmly denied all allegations, describing them as "deeply upsetting" and inconsistent with his character.

Holly and Phillip were visually shocked as he made the "not clever" jokeCredit: ITVBack in 2021, Gino shocked fans when he made crude remarks about This Morning host Holly Willoughby's body.
While talking about his native country, Italy, he used Holly's body as a stand-in map.
He told her: "If your belly button is Rome... well, I was born in Naples but I went to school where the Vesuvius is, so it's more inland."
"So I can technically say that I spent my youth training and playing around your vagina."
Shocked by his comment, Holly gasped and said: "Oh my God." Holly's co-host Phillip Schofield shouted, "Oh my God, Gino."
An unremorseful Gino appeared to double down, shrugged, and said: "There's nothing wrong with that."
Viewers at home were equally shocked with one tweeting: "It isn't what he said its the fact that it was deemed ok to say it to Holly live on the tv.
"Talk about vaginas all you want but don't make it personal to a married woman who is trying to do her job. It's not funny and it's not clever."

Viewers were unhappy when Gino 'made International Women's Day about women needing a man'Credit: ITVIn March 2022, This Morning aired a segment with Gino during International Women's Day.
Gino was given time for his Ask Gino feature, where viewers would call in to ask the chef for advice about anything.
But he received swift backlash from fans when he appeared to reduce the day to women looking for men.
He said: "People at home you can ask me anything you want. Today it is apparently International Women's Day.
"So what I realised down here in the office is this lady here is looking for a husband. Everybody is looking for a husband.
"Are you looking for a husband? Ah no, you said you were looking to have an affair. So it looks like down here in the office everybody is looking for a husband."
Social media users made their feelings known as they descended on him for the comments.
One blasted: "How did Gino make #InternationalWomensDay about women needing a man?"
Another said: "Gino on #ThisMorning “joking” about how all women want is a husband there. On #IWD. I’m tired."

Gino D'Acampo caused a stir in 2016 when he randomly kissed a Loose Women audience memberCredit: ITV15
The woman looked taken aback by the kissCredit: ITVIn October 2016, Gino caused yet another stir when he visited Loose Women as a guest.
While there, his interview was filled with sexual innuendos. At one point, he even said he wanted to “unleash himself”.
But the biggest shock of all came when the married father-of-three went into the audience and planted a kiss on a random woman’s lips.
Before his appearance on the show, he stripped off, laid in a sofa and bizarrely stroked a photograph of Coleen Nolan saying: “I miss her.”

Gino was accused of "racism" when he said there was "no need for French people in the world"Credit: RexIn a November 2022 episode of This Morning, Gino once again put his foot in it when he made a comment perceived as "racist" by some social media users.
He was on the show to to offer advice to viewers and to make an Italian chicken cordon bleu.
Despite the fact that the dish is known as a French meal, he insisted it was not and proceeded to go on a rant against France.
"Not that I have to explain myself - but this is called pollo impanato, which is stuffed chicken breast", he said. "Now the French call it blah blah blah but it’s really pollo impanato.
"Plus everybody knows I will never cook a French dish. I don’t like to cook other nations' food.
"I am going to be honest with you, apart from my friend Fred Sirieix, I don’t like French people."
All the claims against Gino
One woman claimed Gino told her he would "like to turn me over and f*** me up the a*** against the kitchen counter" in 2011. Another woman alleged he opened the door only wearing his boxer shorts and said "Oh, don't worry, it's only small" which pointing towards his penis. In 2018 while on set for the filming of Gordon, Gino and Fred’s Road Trip, Gino allegedly said he "felt like f******" one morning. 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." Another alleged he told a young staff member: "When are we all going to get drunk and have sex together." A woman told ITV she saw Gino appearing to threaten a young colleague over an ice cream in 2019, he allegedly said "if you don’t get me a Cornetto I will f*** your girlfriend". In 2022 an internal investigation into Gino was launched at production company Betty TV in relation to alleged inappropriate behaviour and language on the set of Gino’s Italy – Like Mamma Used to Make. 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.As Phillip and Holly watched him in shock, he continued: "Too close to Italy, they always think everything they do is the greatest. There is no need for French people in the world."
The hosts quickly apologised for the comments and said his opinions are his own but viewers at home were in no mood to forgive.
One tweeted: "I was horrified that Gino was allowed to say he doesn’t like French people, even more horrified that Holly & Philip laughed it off. Disgusting racists."
A second added: "Just imagine the outrage if Gino Decampo said, I don't like Pakistani people, or I don't like African people, he would (rightly) be branded a racist. But it's absolutely OK to say I don't like French people."

Holly and Phillip attempted to calm down the chefCredit: ITVIn 2018, Phil and Holly had to come to the defence of a This Morning crew member after Gino had a go at her.
It all started when he was heard shouting at someone as the show came back on air after an ad break.
Holly looked visibly uncomfortable and said to viewers: "Welcome back, Gino's kicking off..."
In an attempt to diffuse the situation, she turned to him and appealed: "Gino, Gino, Gino - it's Monday, relax. It's snowy."
But Gino, who was still clearly upset responded: "It's this lady, she tells you all the time, stay here, stay there." Phil then told him to "stop being a diva".
Holly also tried to explain why the crew member was telling him where to stand saying: "It's just the rules of the studio, calm down." But a bemused Gino retorted: "Rules of the studio? When have we had rules in the studio?"
Hitting back, Phil said: "There have always been rules, you've just never listened."

While appearing as a panellist alongside Holly and the late Caroline Flack, Keith Lemon asked if he had ever licked anything off a woman's body.
That was when he chose to reveal that he had been intimate with a female cousin.
He said: "I was young. She said the Nutella tasted better 'down there', but it was a trick."
As his fellow panellists looked on in shock, comedian Jimmy Carr, who was also on the show told him: "Your lack of shame is most amazing."

“But I think when you have big nostrils, I think you can s**k as f**k.” As the crowd roared with surprise and laughter, Fearne's mouth was wide open in disbelief.
Gino then tried to explain his theory saying: “Because you can breathe easier”. But Fearne stopped him mid-sentence saying: “You don’t need to elaborate.”
