TV chef Gino D’Acampo has refuted numerous allegations of inappropriate and intimidating behavior on the sets of various television shows. An ITV News investigation described his actions as “unacceptable,” “distressing,” and “horrendous.” Anonymous women who spoke to the broadcaster accused D’Acampo of aggressive conduct and making highly sexualized comments.
In a statement to ITV News, D’Acampo firmly denied the allegations, asserting that he would never do anything to upset or distress anyone. He expressed that as a father and husband, the suggestion of improper behavior is deeply upsetting to him.
Objective Media Group, the production company behind “Gordon, Gino And Fred’s Roadtrip,” reportedly had prior knowledge of concerns regarding D’Acampo’s behavior. The company stated, “We have robust protocols and procedures in place for all cast and crew, including on-screen talent, that we review regularly while also considering developments regarding industry-wide ‘Duty of Care’ guidelines.” They emphasized the importance of encouraging individuals to raise concerns promptly and assured that any reported incidents would be thoroughly investigated.
Other production companies that have collaborated with D’Acampo also released statements in response to the allegations. Studio Ramsay affirmed their commitment to maintaining a safe and professional work environment, taking all allegations of inappropriate behavior seriously and investigating them promptly. MultiStory Media echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of addressing concerns while maintaining confidentiality regarding individual matters.
