has reportedly distanced himself from Gino D’Acampo following allegations of inappropriate behaviour. An News investigation uncovered “dozens” of complaints from individuals accusing him of “unacceptable, distressing and “horrendous” behaviour. Gino has vehemently denied all allegations, adding they were “deeply upsetting”.
The broadcaster has interviewed “more than 40 people” as part of its probe. These individuals claim to have witnessed or experienced Gino’s alleged inappropriate and intimidating behaviour.
Now, it’s suggested that Gino’s former Road Trip co-star and friend, Gordon Ramsay, is ready to distance himself in light of these allegations.
Reports suggest that Gino and Gordon are no longer on speaking terms after the latter was left “horrified” by Gino’s alleged behaviour.
A source told the “Gordon was horrified with what had gone on and felt it was time to step in and stop it. He has three daughters and a wife, Tana, who he absolutely adores and felt it was disgusting. He wanted to change those ways but then it led to difficulties between them.”

According to the source: “Gordon found there was a lot of unacceptable behaviour going on, he saw things he didn’t think were okay so he spoke up. That was that, friendship over.”
They also claimed that the Ramsay family is “throwing Gino under the bus.”
The Express has contacted Gordon’s representative for comment.
In response to the allegations, Gino told ITV News: “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. 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.”
The TV chef, known for his appearances on ITV’s Family Fortunes and Gino and Fred: Emission Impossible, faces accusations dating back over a decade.
One woman, given the pseudonym Hannah, alleged she experienced offensive remarks from Gino back in 2011.

She alleges D’Acampo commented he would “like to turn me over and f*** me up the a*** against the kitchen counter”.
According to Hannah, crew members chuckled following his remark, but she also witnessed “shock” and “horror,” alleging that the behaviour made her feel extremely belittled.
Hannah told ITV News Correspondent Sejal Karia: “I definitely saw it as some kind of power play. The very act of what he said was aggressive… He did not think that was an inappropriate thing to say to me.”
Gino’s legal team responded to the allegations vehemently denying them, stating: ” This allegation from almost 15 years ago has never, until now via a media request for comment, been raised or put to Mr D’Acampo.
“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’. He emphatically and unequivocally denies these allegations.”
