offered to “s***” Fearne Cotton’s breasts in a resurfaced clip from an ITV show.
The clip aired on ITV2 more than a decade ago and has now resurfaced in the wake of the allegations.
Italian chef Gino, 48, has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women who last week came forward to ITV News.
Gino said he “firmly denied” all the allegations, which he called “deeply upsetting”.
In a resurfaced clip the chef, who was a regular on the axed ITV2 show Celebrity Juice, raised eyebrows with his on-air remarks.

Gino can be heard talking about his dislike for “plastic” breasts. Host Leigh Francis asked him what he thought about Fearne’s breasts.
He replied: “Ah there is potential there. If you gave them to me, I’ll grow them.”
While Fearne watched on during the exchange, Gino continued by telling the audience how there is a “technique” to grow breasts “up one size”.
Holly Willoughby asked him how, joking he could become a millionaire if he knew how to grow women’s anatomy.
The chef replied: “It’s the way you massage, you s*** them, there is a massage to do around, you suck them.
“Seriously, my wife, she has got massive…”
The TV chef is currently facing allegations from ‘dozens’ of individuals.”
In response to the allegations, Gino issued a statement to ITV News: “I have been told by ITN news that allegations have been made about me acting inappropriately, some dating back over ten years ago.”
“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. This is simply not in my nature. I do not recognise the version of events being put to me. 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.”
“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 and the suggestion that I have acted in an improper way against is deeply upsetting.”
