Gino D’Acampo in ‘horror crash with blood everywhere’ during filming for new ITV show with Fred Sirieix as production comes to a halt
Gino D’Acampo was reportedly in a horror crash with ‘blood everywhere’ while filming for a new ITV show with Fred Sirieix.
The chef, 47, has been in Vienna with the French maître d’hôtel, 51, for the new travel show titled Emission Impossible, as they visit some of Europe’s most stunning locations.
Production has now come to a standstill, with Gino describing it as ‘the worst shoot of my life’, before slamming ITV for not checking it out, according to The sun.
In the incident, which took place on October 18, he attempted to descend a ’60-metre slide’ on a sled with a cocktail glass in his hand.
Gino told the publication, “After 22 years of working with them, I have an accident and get sick, and yet I don’t get a call; I smell a fish. I don’t think ITV have any idea what happened.’

An insider added: ‘He was still filming a piece on camera when a mother and her two children came hurtling down at 30mph and crashed.
“There was blood everywhere and one of the boys had blood pouring out of his mouth.”
An ambulance was called for the children while Gino was treated at the scene, with the broadcaster offering advice and support to those involved.
Both presenters had reported safety issues before filming, with the presenter leaving ‘in a rage’ after also falling ill the next day after working ’14 hours a day in freezing conditions’.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Gino and ITV for comment.
Gino and Fred Sirieix have reunited for an ITV travel series as they attempt to go green in the show titled Emission Impossible.
It ensures that they eat, sleep and travel as sustainably as possible while they explore some of Europe’s most beautiful locations.
In March, Gino announced he was leaving his Road Trip show with Gordon Ramsay and Fred, with the final series featuring the trio set to air next month.
Inspired by his children, Fred has really become more environmentally conscious and his concerns were heightened when he saw his beloved Europe burning with temperatures of 40 degrees this summer.

That’s why he’s determined to re-educate, recycle and re-engineer his eco-skeptical sidekick in their own backyard.
Gino and Fred will visit Austria, whose capital was ranked as the greenest city in the world in 2020, but which is suffering from melting glaciers.
They will also travel to Croatian islands at risk of rising sea levels, while sourcing sustainable products and immersing themselves in an eco-friendly lifestyle that we can all learn from.
Gino and Fred said: ‘We’re thrilled to have been upcycled by ITV for another action-packed adventure and can’t wait to cook up some fantastic sustainable dishes while hopefully sparking debate on these important issues.
“We may not come up with the recipe to save the planet, but we hope to entertain, inform and inspire audiences to think about making changes in their own lives.”
