Gino on Family Fortunes

[GruffyLove]

Come on ITV I’m sorry but he’s rubbish! Bring back Vernon or Les!

He just doesn’t cut it does he! I think we might just see Vernon making his way back to prime time after the castle.

Shouldda stuck wi'tha cookin!

Well, he is an ex convict.
Besides that, he can’t understand what the contestants are saying.

Who is he?

You are so right OP.
I've stopped watching it since he took over, as I can't understand him.
I've nothing against him personally and enjoyed him in the jungle but this format is so not him.
Another vote for Vernon here.
You need someone who can think on their feet.

He is an instant switch over for me. Same with the grintwins from this morning. (Although I will record dancing in ice and fast forward their bits).

I would have liked to have watched Fred and Gordon on their travels. They would have to have left GDC at home.

Vernon the cheater? Christ get your booty call elsewhere. Gino is hilarious!

Unlike Gino the thief?

Aye better than Gino the convicted criminal - righto.

No!!! He’s hilarious and we love him on all programmes (especially Gordon, Gino & Fred) but think he’s brilliant on FF.
I don’t care that he’s an ex convict. Looks like he’s learned a lesson and not re-offended.

I’m so glad that you started this thread. Christ, he’s awful. Bring back Les Dennis!

Particular lowlights:

His fake Italian accent. NO WAY does he talk like that in real life. He was brought up and educated in Sheffield! Why is he not a laughing stock for putting on a pretend comedy Italian voice? I know that it’s ITV, AKA Channel Shit, but come on!

One question was, “name a famous Italian” and Gino bleeding D’Acampo was the top answer by a mile! You should have seen him simpering. Trailing in his wake were Luciano Pavarotti, Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo, who would be spinning in their graves if they knew that the British public thought that a crap chef from ITV was four times more famous than them. Which twats are they putting these questions to?? One of the other answers was ‘super Mario’. Dumb Britain in action.

I was also entertained by the thickness of Shirley Ballas’ boyfriend and family members.

He’s offended me BY BEING A TWAT. Off with his head!

Oh I actually Liked him on family fortunes

Yes Vernon over Gino!

Laughing at Wikipedia which has 'Sheffield' as d'Acampo's middle name

Has someone edited that this evening

He was NOT born in Sheffield!! Thats a Keith Lemon joke!

Bring back Les? Dead Les?

He changed it by deed poll following a bet with Keith Lemon on celebrity juice

Wait! Les isn't dead! I was confusing him with Keith Chegwin.

It’s not fake at all he didn’t come to the uk until he was 19

he wasnt born in sheffield its a joke with keith lemon i do miss vernon though

Even if he did (I was fooled by the Sheffield thing!) he wouldn’t still be talking in that stupid voice if he’d lived in England for 25 years. He’s like a pantomime dame.

I like Gino but he's awful as host. I actually turned it off.

It's not just me who conflates Les & Cheggers in their head! Hurrah!
