Gordon Ramsay breaks his silence after his co-star Gino D’Acampo was ‘caught with cannabis’

Gordon Ramsay has broken his silence after sniffer dogs reportedly caught his TV co-star Gino D’Acampo with cannabis in his luggage as he flew to the UK.

Gino allegedly received a warning when he returned to the UK with Gordon and Fred at Farnborough Airport, Hampshire, on November 29.

They had been in Spain filming Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip, with a source saying Sun: ‘Fred and Gordon were pretty angry.’

It came just weeks before Gino quit the travel show, claiming it was due to a dispute over “complicated contracts.”

Now Gordon, 56, has broken his silence on social media since the news broke on Friday.

By reposting to his Instagram story for the first time, Gordon showed that he was putting the drama far behind him while staying in Kailua-Kona on the west coast of Hawaii.

The Hell’s Kitchen chef, 56, said: ‘So great to be back in Kona! Lots of @ironmanti memories here!’

The chef seemed to be in a good mood as he dressed in his Iron Man triathlon jersey and shorts, soaking up the sun in Hawaii.

He also gave fans a sneak peek at the delicious foods he’s been enjoying, including poke and a quesadilla.

The source said: “Gino and the gang had been filming in Spain and flew back home on Gordon’s private plane.” When they landed, out of nowhere some sniffer dogs began to surround Gino.

‘Gordon, Fred and Gino were held for some time by the Border Force, as Gino initially tried to laugh it off.

“Eventually, it became clear who the dogs were after, and Gino left with the uniformed police for questioning. It was Gino’s bags that were stopped and searched, and a small box was found with some weed inside.

Neither Fred nor Gordon, nor anyone else on the jet, had a single trace of anything suspicious.

The source added that Gino called Gordon and Fred the next day to explain that he had been smoking it to help with his back pain, adding that police released him “without issue.”

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

The reality TV star broke her silence amid the claims on Saturday when she shared a video on Instagram but made no reference to the reported incident.

In the clip he shared on Instagram on Saturday, Gino filmed himself watching a raunchy exercise clip someone had shared online.

In the video, a man picks up a woman suggestively and begins to bench press his body.

Gino filmed himself commenting on the clip and saying, ‘Ok, so he’s working on his abs, great. Ay ay ay! Alright! I am going to assume that this lady is his wife. Up and down his chest. Look at that dirty smile -‘

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Gino, Gordon and Fred, TV production company Studio Ramsay and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police for comment at the time.

When contacted by MailOnline, a Farnborough Airport spokesperson commented: “Farnborough Airport takes a zero tolerance approach to any illegal activity related to flights arriving or departing from the airport.

“We work closely with the UK Border Force, which is based at Farnborough Airport, to ensure we maintain the safety and well-being of all passengers, crew, visitors and staff at all times.”
