Yes the wretched Italian chef - not giving his name credence. https://www.itv.com/watch/news/the-latest-headlines-multiple-claims-of-inappropriate-behaviour-against-gino-dacampo/5wr9dh3

Hiding in plain sight.

There are others, I switch over on another popular "star" because of what he did to me and others when we were young.

AIBU to find this exhausting

Another one, it's never ending with these creeps. OH always said he gave off creepy vibes. Wonder who's next?.

SnowdropPancake · 06/02/2025 19:55

What?! Gino D'Acampo - that stand up guy?

The one who robbed Paul Young's house while Paul's wife was dying, pissed on the rug and left cigarette butts all over.

No way he's a wrong un. Never would have guessed it.

Tomatocutwithazigzagedge · 06/02/2025 19:58

I remember him being on I'm a Celebrity.

He admitted he had ignored his wife on two occasions for 24 hours, because she burped. He said if she broke wind in front of him, he'd divorce her.

Ever since then I thought he was a pathetic, controlling twat.

LBFseBrom · 06/02/2025 19:58

That is dreadful, I had absolutely no idea about him, always thought he was pleasant, fun, very much a family man. Just goes to show you never can tell. People like that hide in plain sight. I'm appalled.

Not surprised in the least. He is a cocky, horrid little turd.

Agree with this. Totally not surprised.
Hes a cocky little shit. He was so annoying on this morning with his fake mispronunciation and making things lewd even at 10am.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 06/02/2025 20:01

The only thing that surprises me about this one is that it's taken so long for anything to come out.

And Holly and Phil falling about fake laughing like it was the funniest thing they'd ever heard. 🙄.

This doesn't even surprise me tbh

He already has a criminal conviction, no? What's a little misogyny to boot

He's funny at times but seems like he has small man syndrome.

When I watched Gordon gino and Fred, it seemed to me that Gordon was careful around him, something in the way he'd look at him. Defo me overthinking there but, not surprised

I'm not surprised by gordon. He seems like a lovely and genuine man from what I've seen beyond the hells kitchen persona.

Loves his family. Sat next to him once at an event and he was obsessed with Jamie Oliver's success, a tad insecure - yes, I've worked with a lot of chefs.

this is click bait
why on earth didnt you put his name

The name is in the link.

Pebbles16 · 06/02/2025 18:58

Yes, another "beloved" presenter who is yet to be outed. I don't particularly want to be sued.

Why would you he sued if you have 100% proof?

suki1964 · 06/02/2025 20:13

@Pebbles16

If you have been abused by anyone, you have to report it to the police

Don't be sat there hinting there's more out there, OUT them

In 1998, D'Acampo was convicted of burgling singer Paul Young's London home, and served two years in prison. D'Acampo has apologised to Young, who accepted and suggested that D'Acampo could invite him to dinner in his restaurant.[26]

that is awful

Edited

I’ve never watched him because of this. Paul Young has been so dignified about it. How is it with all the people wanting a chance on tv, this person gets one?

YourHappyJadeEagle · 06/02/2025 20:25

Paul Young is a far nicer person than I could ever be.
Campo’s criminal behaviour , absolutely unforgivable. And after that ITV gave him a job. FML.

I did. Seventeen year olds in pubs not entirely believed despite compelling evidence. Just trying to answer but really don't want to engage on this element of the post

I’ve just been saying the same thing!

BriceNobeslovesMurielHeslop · 06/02/2025 20:31

I’m sure I read in a gossip email or blind items that there was rumours regarding Gino DiCampo’s relationship with Gordon Ramsey’s daughter Tilly. Not I can remember the source though.

Youngheartsalittletogetherness · 06/02/2025 20:33

Odious little bastard

At this stage it might be easier to name the "celebrity" men who are NOT like this. Smaller list I reckon.

LizzieSiddal · 06/02/2025 20:42

And you can bet 100% that the folks at ITV know he’s a sex pest. (Or worse, sorry haven’t read the link as I’m fed up of reading about women getting abused and those in positions of power doing fuck all about it).
When is someone going to get the sack for covering up for these despicable men. Same for the BBC with Greg Wallace, the fat bloke from sStrictly and Russel Brand (to name only three of the many)

Oldglasses · 06/02/2025 20:43

Not surprised, he's vile.

That TV era is going to be looked back on as similar to the Saville days.

Cosyvibes · 06/02/2025 20:47

This doesn't surprise me at all. I've always thought he's a slimy nasty perv! Like pp said total fake! His cancellation has been a long time coming.

Caiti19 · 06/02/2025 20:51

He made some lewd comments.

I think we need to be really careful with the term "abuse". There are plenty of cases involving celebrities where the word applies, but if we start using it willy nilly, it will lose its very serious meaning.
