ITV presenter Gino D’Acampo has denied “dozens of allegations of inappropriate behaviour” dating back over a period of 12 years.

The Guardian newspaper reports that the Italian chef, who found fame in the UK working as a judge and later presenter of cookery and game shows on ITV, has “firmly denied” allegations in a statement made to ITV News, saying such acts were “simply not in my nature.”

ITV News previously investigated the allegations of misconduct made against him, with behaviour described as “unacceptable” and “distressing” by claimants.

While the investigation continues, reruns of D’Acampo’s old shows have been pulled from the ITV schedule.

The presenter’s statement reads in full:

“I have been told by ITN News that allegations have been made about me acting inappropriately, some dating back over 10 years ago.

“I have never been made aware of these matters previously and the allegations are firmly denied.

TV personality Gino D’Acampo, best known for his work on ITV’s This Morning and hosting numerous shows with Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix, has been accused of inappropriate conduct and intimidating behavior by more than a dozen people.

An ITV news investigation, which broadcast earlier tonight, spoke with multiple people who have worked with him in the past and described D’Acampo making sexualized remarks that made them feel highly uncomfortable, as they detailed incidents that go back many years.

One woman said in 2011 D’Acampo told her he would “like to turn me over and f*** me up the a*** against the kitchen counter.” Another said that on a shoot he opened the door to his room wearing only boxer shorts before making reference to his penis. A third sent in a statement saying D’Acampo said to someone: “If you don’t get me a Cornetto I will f*** your girlfriend.

The reason for weatherman Rob Marciano’s lengthy Good Morning America absence has been allegedly “revealed”.

Since 2014, Marciano has been employed as ABC’s senior meteorologist, providing extensive weather coverage across the network.

But GMA viewers noticed that Marciano has not been presenting from the studio since November 2022, with many social media users wondering why this was.

It’s now being claimed that Marciano has been “banned” from New York’s Times Square Studios, where GMA is filmed, after allegedly making a colleague feel “uncomfortable”.

A source told Page Six that Marciano was accused of “improper” behaviour and “was punished for it”.

While the alleged incident has not been divulged, it’s been claimed by a separate source that it occurred in the wake of Marciano’s divorce from his wife, Eryn, which was announced in July 2022.

This source said Marciano was struggling with the stress caused by the divorce,...

Roman Kemp has been forced to deny that a recent Creme Egg blunder was a prank.

The Capital Radio DJ revealed on Monday (20 March) that he came across a hybrid version of the Cadbury treat – half of which was milk chocolate and the other half white chocolate.

He put a photo of the Egg on Twitter, alongside the post: “What is this??? Half White Half Milk Chocolate??”

It was after this that his followers informed him that this Creme Egg was part of a promotional deal that could have seen him win up to £10,000. However, the DJ confessed that he had actually eaten it before sharing the tweet.

Six of the eggs are worth £10,000, while three are worth £5,000 – and those who discover one must take a picture with the uneaten Egg in order to win the money.

After admitting to the blunder, Kemp was inundated with posts accusing him of...

Gino D’Acampo has hinted that “arguments” have forced him to quit Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip.

The TV chef has withdrawn from the ITV series, which he co-starred in alongside Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix.

D’Acampo made the announcement in an Instagram post on Sunday (19 March), explaining that his decision was inspired by a desire to protect his friendships with both Ramsay and Sirieix.

According to D’Acampo, his hand was forced by scheduling conflicts caused by production, which has caused “complications”.

“Last week, I decided not to film any more Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip,” he said. “The reason is simple... nothing to do with Gordon and Fred – the friendship is very strong – it’s just because we can’t get the dates together.”

The chef went on to say he would “rather the friendship than get into arguments, so I’ve decided not to do Gordon,...

A comment Fred Sirieix made about Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip has resurfaced in the wake of his co-star’s decision to quit.

On Sunday (19 March), Gino D’Acampo revealed he would no longer be a part of the series due to “problems” behind-the-scenes.

In a video shared with his social media followers, the celebrity chef said that “complications” with contracts had led to his decision, and said he would rather quit than damage his friendship with both Sirieix and Gordon Ramsay.

Just 10 days ago, during a chat with Lorraine Kelly on the ITV morning show Lorraine, Sirieix addressed these complications, stating: “We are talking about dates for the next one. It is difficult to juggle all of our diaries.”

He told MailOnline the previous week, while promoting his latest series, Fred’s Last Resort: “It is a bit difficult to juggle all our diaries, but we are getting there.

Taylor Swift fans are divided after a video from one of her previous concerts gained attention on TikTok.

The “Anti-Hero” hitmaker recently kicked off her Eras tour in Arizona, which The Independent gave five stars in a review of the show.

In the video shared to TikTok, Swift can be seen nearing the camera while the fan holding the phone screams inaudibly.

Swift’s singing is inevitably drowned out by the screaming. The user captioned the video: “The last time I saw Taylor on tour the mom next to us asked us if we could calm down because we were scaring her seven-year-old….”

"See you tomorrow @taylorswift," she added in her caption. “I feel bad for whoever is next to me.”

Since the video has been posted, fans have been sharing their opinions on whether or not they approve of their fellow fan’s behaviour.

Many of the 33-year-old singer’s fanbase,...

Olivia Colman has claimed that she almost turned down starring in Great Expectations due to her friendships with Gillian Anderson and Helena Bonham Carter.

The Oscar-winning actor plays Miss Havisham in the forthcoming BBC adaptation of Charles Dickens’ timeless novel.

Miss Havisham, the bitter, reclusive old heiress who interferes in the life of Pip, has been played by a number of acclaimed actors in past adaptations of the book, including Martita Hunt (in David Lean’s 1946 version), Jean Simmons, Charlotte Rampling, Anderson, and Bonham Carter.

Speaking to BBC News ahead of the new adaptation’s premiere, Colman referred to her friendship with former The Crown co-stars Anderson and Bonham Carter, and was reluctant to take on a role that they had both already tackled.

“I really did struggle with the idea of being compared with my mates,” she said.

“[But] I did want to play [Miss Havisham] so I thought, ‘well, it’s what happens with all actors.

Jason Ritter openly admits to benefitting from nepotism early on in his acting career.

Ritter’s father John, who died in 2003 aged 54, was known for playing Jack Tripper on the popular ABC sitcom Three’s Company.

During an appearance on a recent episode of SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show, the Parenthood actor admitted his first acting job as a child, voicing the Little Acorn in the 1991 cartoon The Real Story of O Christmas Tree, came as a result of his father’s connections.

“I will say, without any hesitation, this was like a full-on nepotism hire. I will admit that,” Ritter joked. “He [John] for sure got me the job. I did try to stay away from that later.”

John voiced Piney, the Little Acorn’s uncle in the cartoon.

Ritter went on to star in a number of roles across film and television, including The Tale, Frozen II and Netflix’s superhero drama Raising Dion.

Gordon, Gino & Fred: Road Trip is produced by Ramsay’s production outfit Studio Ramsay and has consistently performed well for ITV, the British broadcaster.

In a video message on Instagram, D’Acampo told his 1.5 million followers: “Last week I decided not to film any more Gordon, Gino & Fred: Road Trip. The reason is simple, nothing to do with Gordon and Fred — the friendship is very strong … It’s just because we can’t get the dates together. And when we do get the dates together sometimes they get changed and it causes a lot of problems for me.”

Susanna Reid laughed as she tried to “clean up” an Nsfw interview on Good Morning Britain.

Reid was joined by co-host Ben Shephard on Thursday morning’s (8 December) episode of Gmb on ITV.

The pair were speaking with Italian celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo who was promoting his new cooking show Gino’s Cooking Up Love.

Conversation, however, took a turn when D’Acampo recalled that he once met a “blonde girl with huge… personality”.

The interview featured other sexual innuendos and references as the chef went on to say: “All I was thinking is, ‘Am I going to get laid?’”

“Are we allowed to say that?” asked D’Acampo, leaving Madeley and Reid fumbling for words.

Reid laughed as she said that she was trying to “clean up” the interview.

Kim Woodburn has said that she’s “bored sick” of the contestants on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! complaining about Matt Hancock.

The How Clean Is Your House? presenter appeared on the ITV reality show in 2009, when she placed second behind Gino D’Acampo.

Writing for Metro.co.uk, Woodburn said that she was annoyed watching the campmates moaning about Hancock, then eating the food he won in the Bushtucker Trials.

“Not one of them that moans about him has got the courage of their own convictions,” Woodburn said. “Oh, they’ll eat his food while they pull him to pieces. You two-faced bunch of pigs!... Bloody stop this nonsense. Stop it altogether.”

Woodburn then complained about Hancock being voted by the public to take part in his first six Bushtucker Trials.

“We know the outcome and want to see other people do it and suffer,” she wrote.

Netflix has revealed the launch date of its Elena Ferrante adaptation “The Lying Life of Adults” and released a provocative poster and teaser art for the show based on the “My Brilliant Friend” author’s latest novel.

“Lying Life,” which will drop debut on Netflix globally on Jan. 4, 2023, is directed by Neapolitan helmer Edoardo De Angelis (“Indivisible”) and stars Valeria Golino in the role of Neapolitan aunt of the story’s young protagonist named Giovanna, played by newcomer Giordana Marengo.

Alessandro Preziosi (“Medici”) plays Giovanna’s father, Andrea, while Pina Turco plays her mother, Nella.

The Ferrante book depicts Giovanna’s transition from childhood to adolescence during the 1990s in a Naples that is actually two kindred cities that fear and loathe one another: the upper crust Naples of the high-quarters, where a mask of refinement is worn, and the Naples of its more vulgar and exciting low quarters...

Ant and Dec have confirmed the reason they were forced to pull out of hosting duties for the new spinoff of Britain’s Got Talent.

The British duo were originally expected to present the new ITV talent show, Britain’s Got Talent: The Ultimate Magician.

However, a spokesperson for the series told MailOnline on Wednesday (12 October) that the two were “unable to film” after having become “unwell”.

Instead, they have been replaced by magician Stephen Mulhern.

A representative for the pair later informed The Sun that “Ant and Dec have tested for Covid and unfortunately have both tested positive” and “will be postponing work commitments whilst they recover”.

This also means that Ant McPartlin, 47, and Dec Donnelly, 46, will no longer be in attendance at Britain’s 27th National Television Awards on Thursday (13 October).

Up against Alison Hammond, Bradley Walsh and Graham Norton, the duo are, once again, in the running for the TV presenter award,...

Holly Willoughby seemed unimpressed as Phillip Schofield interrupted her during a tense exchange onThis Morning.

Hosting the show on Monday (4 October), the pair sat down for an interview with Polly Brooks, who was caught up in the 2002 Bali bombings and suffered 43 per cent burns.

As Brooks, whose husband died in the terrorist attack, explained how the loss had meant it took a long time for her to be glad that she survived, Willoughby said: “Wow, wow. Gosh, and even-”

However, she was cut off mid-sentence by Schofield, who continued to ask Brooks questions about the incident.

In response, Willoughby pursed her lips and side-eyed Schofield, appearing to be visibly unimpressed.

The clip has gone viral on TikTok, with the voiceover reading: “Holly’s eye roll when Phil cuts her off.”

Commenters suggested that there was “trouble in paradise” between the pair, while others read the “eye roll” as Willoughby “distancing herself” from her co-host.

Holly Willoughby playfully hit Gino D’Acampo on This Morning after the chef compared her to a Flintstones character.

On Thursday (29 September), the ITV daytime show began with D’Acampo sat in the place of hosts Willoughby and Phillip Schofield while they stood in his spot behind the kitchen counter.

As the pair walked back to the sofa, D’Acampo jokingly refused to move and took a tongue-in-cheek jibe at her leopard print outfit of choice.

“Hello Wilma!” he exclaimed, adding: “Yabba Dabba Doo! Why are you dressed like The Flintstones? Where is the bone?”

Willoughby, who playfully hit the TV chef, laughed at his comment, replying: “We’re doing leopard print in fashion today.”

In the animated show, Fred Flintstone’s famously wears a leopard’s pelt.

As D’Acampo walked back to the kitchen counter, he said: “You look beautiful,” to which Willoughby said: “Bit late now.”

Both Willoughby...

Ant and Dec have announced that former I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! contestants will appear in a special “all-stars” series based in South Africa next year.

Hosts McPartlin and Donnelly confirmed plans for the new show in a video on Thursday (22 September).

The pair were standing by a lake, against a backdrop of mountains, in the clip shared on Instagram.

Fox’s “Next Level Chef” is getting a shakeup as Richard Blais joins the Gordon Ramsay-hosted competition series as a mentor, stepping in for Gino D’Acampo.

According to an individual familiar with the situation, D’Acampo was forced to drop out due to a family commitment that prevented him from traveling to the U.S. for filming. Blais joins Ramsay and fellow mentor Nyesha Arrington on the show.

Set to premiere in 2022, “Next Level Chef” is described as “a one-of-a-kind culinary gauntlet” featuring an “iconic stage like you’ve never seen.” Competitors — consisting of line cooks, home chefs, social media stars, food truck owners and everything in between — will be tasked with preparing meals in a series of kitchens.

“From the glistening top floor to the challenging bottom of the basement, the ingredients will match the environment, because Ramsay believes the true test of great chefs is not only...

Gordon Ramsay is preparing a new meal for Fox. The network has ordered Next Level Chef, a new cooking competition series featuring Ramsay and chefs Nyesha Arrington and Gino D’Acampo.

The show, which is produced by Studio Ramsay and Fox Alternative Entertainment, features a culinary gauntlet, set on a stage, over three stories high, each floor containing a different kitchen.

Line cooks, home chefs, social media stars and food struck owners will compete against each other to be crowned the the food world’s newest superstar.

Ramsay, Arrington and D’Acampo will each recruit a group of the chefs and take them under their wings to get the best out of them and help them win the $250,000 grand prize.

It is Ramsay’s latest show for the Fox network; he is a judge on MasterChef and MasterChef Jr., and fronted doc series Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back for the network.

Gordon Ramsay will headline yet another cooking series at Fox. “Next Level Chef,” announced Monday by the network, will follow Ramsay and co-mentors and elite chefs Nyesha Arrington and Gino D’Acampo as they recruit a group of talented cooks, take them under their wings and see who becomes the next superstar of the food world.

Ramsay has designed a culinary gauntlet set on an unparalleled stage: a tower over three stories high, with each floor containing a different kitchen. From the glistening top floor to the challenging bottom of the basement, the ingredients will match the environment. Contestants will include line cooks, home chefs, social media stars, food truck owners and more as they compete for a $250,000 prize.
