Gino D’Acampo ‘is being ditched by ITV amid string of inappropriate behaviour claims’

Gino D’Acampo is reportedly being slowly sidelined by ITV amid a series of allegations of inappropriate behavior.

It’s understood the Italian chef was secretly dumped from Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip after refusing to sign a morality clause in his contract.

A morality clause, also called a morality clause, is a provision in a contract that requires an individual or party to adhere to certain standards of conduct. The clause gives the other party the right to terminate the contract if the first party behaves in a way that negatively affects the reputation or image of the other party.

The TV star (48) has also taken a language and behavioral course by concerned executives. The sun has revealed.

Gino has been accused of jokingly flashing and crew members of his show Emission Impossible with Fred Sirieix were reportedly offered counseling.

A source told the publication: “Although Gino is well-liked by some, he has fallen out with many. He likes to party and ultimately refused to sign the morality clause in his contract that would keep him on the straight and narrow. This was the final straw and it was decided to part ways.

‘He was quite sloppy on the set of Emission Impossible and after an accident on set the crew were offered therapy as they found the resulting consequences very difficult.

‘Filming was stopped and Gino received training.’

The source explained that Gino has a sporran, the pocket of a Scottish kilt, which he calls Justin Beaver and which flashes regularly.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Gino and ITV for comment.

A spokesperson for ITV told The Sun: ‘We have made our position clear following the outcome of our KC Review last year, saying: ‘We are fully committed to creating an environment where everyone is treated with respect and feels able to contribute. best”.

‘Our commitment to those we work with is that if a complaint is made or serious concerns are raised, we will always investigate, and if we find that something inappropriate has happened, we will take action.

‘We will continue to develop our efforts to give junior colleagues the confidence to speak up when they have something to say.

‘Following the review, we reiterated our expectations and introduced behavioral and standard guidelines for on-screen personalities, which set out our behavioral expectations, and have also previously offered language and behavior training either directly or through our external producers, where necessary.

Gino will be broadcast next year for a series Family Fortunes that has already been filmed

‘We also outline our expectations for third-party producers of commissioned programs to ensure they have appropriate procedures in place that comply with our Code of Conduct to effectively protect contributors and production staff.’

Gino will be broadcast next year for a series Family Fortunes that has already been filmed.

Last November, Gino was caught by sniffer dogs with cannabis in his luggage as he flew to Britain after filming with Gordon and Fred.

Gino was said to have been given a warning and a source reported that he called Gordon and Fred the next day to explain that he had smoked it to help his bad back, while they added that he had been cleared by the police ‘without any problems’ released.

It is claimed that Gordon and Fred were both angry about the situation, especially as Gordon has always been outspoken about his anti-drug stance.

Meanwhile, the star found himself at the center of complaints from staff who were made ‘uncomfortable’ by his behavior towards them in March 2023.

The Mail on Sunday understands that staff working on Gordon, Gino & Fred: Road Trip have raised their concerns with producers.

One source said that “some people” who work with him don’t like how he operates, both on set and at extracurricular events like wrap parties.

The news came after Gino admitted he decided to leave the show because he didn’t want “stressful” contract talks to ruin his friendship with his co-stars.

Although the complaints are not believed to have contributed to his decision to leave after four series, they have been noticed by bosses at Studio Ramsay – the Gordon Ramsay-founded company that makes the programme.

A show insider said: ‘Crews, contributors and television executives see how Gino behaves. There is a lot of talk about it in the sector, and that is not ideal.’

Although father-of-three D’Acampo did not respond to an opportunity to comment on the complaints yesterday, a source on set did admit that the allegations could be a “generational issue” and that the 46-year-old himself considers a ‘cheeky Italian chappy’.

They said: ‘Gino has an old-fashioned attitude and often thinks he is funny, while perhaps those slightly younger than him would think differently.

“There are times when he makes people feel uncomfortable, but right now on television there’s the whole millennial versus older generation thing going on.”
