I can't stand him. How the hell is he still on the tele.
He's yet another that just plays to the audience.
As another poster said, he thinks his viewers are thick.

He's even more annoying than Paul Hollywood, and that's a very high bar.

He even fancies himself more than PH. How that's possible I'll never know.

😂😂

Married into a southern Italian family. I think he does flourish it sometimes but I don't think it's as fake as some believe. He does seem.to play a persona but much of the time it rings true to us

He went to school in Chelmsford with my big brother. He called himself Gerry Gervais back then, had an accent like he was straight from Billingsgate Fish Market, bottle stop glasses and a pet spider. We were amazed to find out he was actually Italian.

(None of this is true)

doris9034 · 27/09/2023 00:58

I'm not sure about his accent, but he does appear to have very different personalities. I saw him live a few years ago and fbf it wasn't an experience I'd want to repeat - very misogynistic, sweary and generally inappropriate. I'm not normally fussed about that stuff but for some reason I was quite offended by Gino in a way I've never been before

@FitAt50 I don't believe people fundamentally change, no. I don't think someone who befriended and manipulated an au pair in order to carry out a burglary is a good person.

I'm sure he wouldn't do anything like that ever again but I do think it says something about the sort of person he is.

I'm sure you've never done anything wrong in your entire life.

Unfortunately while redemption for him might be possible, crimes like this have ongoing impacts. I believe he stole recordings of Paul Young’s wife’s voice - after she quite recently died he (PY) said that it’s (paraphrasing) hit home again that he can never hear those again.

Paul Young on impact of Gino D'Acampo burglary almost 25 years ago

Paul Young lost recordings featuring his beloved late wife Stacey's voice when chef Gino D'Acampo burgled his home almost 25 years ago.

Wow amazing to keep up a fake accent the whole time he was in the jungle Hmm

Roselilly36 · 27/09/2023 02:05

Can’t stand him, so fake.

alwayscrashinginthesamecar1 · 27/09/2023 02:15

I always reckoned he is from Scunthorpe.

Dita73 · 27/09/2023 02:20

I’ve always thought the same! His real name is probably something like Kevin and he has a cockney accent. He does seem to be a total fake. Certainly a slippery git

Northernsouloldies · 27/09/2023 03:38

Are there many of you French blokes in Sheffield.
Posters that were 70s kids may remember the public safety advert.
Back to Gino, insufferable prick.

PeopleAreWeird · 27/09/2023 03:58

Its 100% fake

His ‘real’ voice is nothing like you see on the tv

Teddleshon · 27/09/2023 04:03

I haven't seen him on tv for a while but from memory his accent is quite similar to Frankie Dettori's?

THisbackwithavengeance · 27/09/2023 06:05

I confess that I always used to laugh at the double entendres on his GMB slot and the way Holly and Phil would be crying with laughter.

But yes, he's likely hamming up his accent and whilst I accept that people do change, his base moral code is clearly a little questionable. Yes, we all do shitty things at times but most of us manage to avoid actual burglary.

We are all lucky he wasn't deported after being in prison then we would've all been deprived of his TV appearances, high street restaurants and excellent culinary skills. Wink

DrCoconut · 28/09/2023 09:12

@alwayscrashinginthesamecar1 nah, I'd have seen him around when we were kids 🤣

VainAbigail · 28/09/2023 09:19

He’s from Sheffield so his accentio is very fakeio.

Probably not true

crochetmonkey74 · 28/09/2023 09:25

HATE Keith Lemon so haven't seen that- I have an in law who is Italian and lived in the UK for the same amount of time it seems and despite very regular trips home- his accent is nowhere near this
