after being embroiled in a scandal involving accusations of inappropriate and intimidating behaviour.

The popular TV chef, 48, has found himself under intense scrutiny, with multiple women coming forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct.

Despite the serious allegations, Gino has firmly denied any wrongdoing, calling the accusations “deeply upsetting.”

In a dramatic turn of events, Gino, who has previously worked alongside Ramsay on their Road Trip series, is said to be furious

after learning that Gordon had raised concerns about his behaviour.

Sources claim that Gordon, 58, was “horrified” by Gino’s actions, leading him to cut ties with the chef two years ago. The fallout from their friendship appears to have deepened, with Gino now reportedly vowing to fight back against what he sees as an attempt to “cancel” him.

According to a source who spoke to The Daily Mail, Gino is “incandescent with rage” over the reports of Ramsay’s concerns. It seems that a studio leak has fueled the growing animosity between the two chefs, with Gino feeling that there has been a coordinated effort to tarnish his reputation. “It’s quite clear that there has been briefing from a certain studio,” the insider explained, hinting that the negative reports surrounding Gino’s behaviour are part of a larger narrative against him.

The source went on to detail the abrupt shift in Gino and Gordon’s relationship. The two chefs had once been the best of friends, regularly seen collaborating on their popular Road Trip series, but things quickly soured after Gino’s departure from the show. “One minute they are working together and the best of friends. Then he leaves the Road Trip series, and he is basically finished within a couple of years,” the insider revealed, suggesting that Gino’s departure from the show marked the beginning of the end of their friendship.

Gino has also expressed frustration with ITV, the network that employed him for many years, accusing them of failing to defend him amidst the growing controversy. He feels that he has been unfairly treated by both the network and the people surrounding him. “I feel hard done by,” Gino allegedly told a source, claiming that he has not received the support he expected from ITV executives, despite his long-standing career and contributions to the network.

In response to the accusations, Gino issued a strongly worded statement, vehemently denying the allegations against him. “I have been told by ITN news that allegations have been made about me acting inappropriately, some dating back over ten years ago,” he said, stressing that he had never been made aware of these issues before. He further added, “I would not do anything that I thought would upset or distress anyone. This is simply not in my nature. I do not recognise the version of events being put to me.”

The chef also pointed out that, during the time the alleged incidents were said to have occurred, he had been consistently supported by high-level executives at ITV, even securing prime-time programming slots. “Not only have these allegations never been raised with me before, I have been repeatedly supported by executives at the highest level and was commissioned on prime-time programmes during the period in which it is now suggested I was acting inappropriately,” Gino stated.

In his emotional defense, Gino emphasized his role as a father and husband, stressing that he has worked with over 1,500 people throughout his career. He expressed how deeply upsetting the allegations are, particularly because they contradict the image he has worked so hard to build. “I take such matters extremely seriously, and the suggestion that I have acted in an improper way is deeply upsetting,” he concluded.

As the scandal continues to unfold, Gino D’Acampo is making it clear that he will not go down without a fight. While he denies the accusations, the chef is now grappling with the fallout from both his professional and personal relationships, including the end of his friendship with Gordon Ramsay. Whether or not he can recover from the scandal remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Gino is determined to clear his name and continue his career.
