Gino D’Acampo left This Morning viewers hysterical on Tuesday when he went on a mission to learn how corks are made.
The celebrity chef, 45, who hails from Italy, was misinterpreted as saying an X-rated word during the segment.
Host Phillip Schofield was forced to interrupt Gino’s pre-recorded clip and clarify that he was saying “cork”, not “c**k”, while Holly Willoughby cringed at the clip.
Introducing viewers to Gino’s latest Italian adventure, Phil began: “There’s a lot on the way, including an Italian getaway with Gino.”
The clip then cuts to Gino talking about the wine, saying, “What I really want to know is why Sardinian cork is so special.” And how many corks do you produce per day?
Funny: Gino D’Acampo left This Morning viewers hysterical on Tuesday as he embarked on a mission to learn how corks are made.
Mistake: Host Phillip Schofield was forced to interrupt Gino’s pre-recorded clip and clarify that he was saying ‘cork’ and not ‘c**k’ while Holly Willoughby cringed at the clip.
The expert then replied: ‘More or less, we produce two million corks’.
Having repeated the word three times, Phil was quick to jump up and yell, ‘No, no, no, stop.
He continued: ‘He’s in a cork factory. It’s cork! A wine stopper factory in Sardinia», underlining the word in question.
Phil then said, “Who knew you could learn so much about cork?” Holly added, “other than how to pronounce it.”
“There’s more to Gino and his questionable pronunciation,” Phil quipped.
Twitter was awash with conversations surrounding the incident, with one viewer writing: “Not listening to cork on Gino’s segment.”
Another said: ‘Cork Gino cork!!’
A third added: ‘Honestly, who let Gino do a feature on the cork?’
He had previously had viewers and presenters hysterical with his pronunciations of words like ‘leaf’.
Strange! The 45-year-old celebrity chef, who hails from Italy, was misinterpreted as saying an X-rated word during the segment.
Twitter was awash with conversations surrounding the incident, with one viewer writing: “Not listening to cork on Gino’s segment.”
Gino admitted that he was close to being “cancelled” by fans, but insisted that he “doesn’t care” what people think.
He became known for his cheeky innuendo after rising to fame on This Morning and has since hosted a variety of popular cooking shows.
But Gino claimed he came very close to getting hit by cancel culture for his cheeky jokes, saying he walks “dangerously” on the “fine line” with his humor.
He told The Sun: “There’s a fine line in television and I think I walk the line, I’ve been walking that line for the last ten or 15 years.”
Gino said he thinks he “gets away with it” on TV a lot more than other people because viewers have known him for about 15 years.
However, he insisted that he never “crossed the line” with his jokes, saying he would have been “fired” if he had.
He said: “But I can get away with the accent and because I’m Gino and everyone has known me for a long time, I can get away with a lot that someone else couldn’t get away with.”
Advising other people to ignore cancel culture, he added: “What they should do is, instead of fighting cancel culture, it’s the way I do it: ‘I don’t care what you have to say,’ that It’s what I think.” .’
In November, This Morning viewers accused Gino of being “xenophobic” for claiming he didn’t like the French.
He made the revelation about his disgust for the French nation while cooking a chicken cordon bleu during a segment.
Despite the fact that the dish was considered French, Gino insisted that it was not before going on a tirade about the country.

He said: ‘Not that I have to explain myself, but this is called pollo impanato, which is stuffed chicken breast. Now the French call it blah blah blah, but it’s actually impanato chicken.
Besides, everyone knows that I will never cook a French dish. I don’t like to cook food from other nations.
“I’m going to be honest with you, apart from my friend Fred Sirieix, I don’t like the French.”
He added: ‘Too close to Italy, they always think that whatever they do is the best. There is no need for French in the world.
