Gino D’Acampo has reportedly vowed to keep his career on track amidst allegations of sexually inappropriate and intimidating behaviour over a period of 12 years.
The ITV This Morning star, who also starred in shows alongside Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix, has reportedly told friends he is innocent and feels “betrayed” by the reports.
A source told the Daily Mail that the star has “instructed his legal team to fight the allegations with ‘whatever it takes’ as he gears up for a fight to clear his name. [He] insisted to friends that he is innocent and still believes he can continue to have a career.”
The source claimed Gino has vowed “never to work with ITV again”, and he is set to “jet to the US later next week to work on a TV project.”
Gino has denied all allegations of misconduct against him after an ITV News exposé. One woman, known under the pseudonym Hannah, claimed Gino told her he would “like to turn me over and f*** me up the a*** against the kitchen counter.”

She further claimed: “I remember a ripple of laughter,” adding other people around “looked nervously into their cups of tea”.
Gino’s legal team released a statement in response to that claim which read: “This allegation from almost 15 years ago has never, until now via a media request, been raised or put to Mr D’Acampo. He does not recall it, nor accept that it happened.”

Another woman under the name Natalie said Gino “opened the door in his boxer shorts, nothing else” when she turned up to brief him for an on-location shoot. She said: “Then he jumped on the bed, put his leg up and made a crude reference to his private parts, joking about their size.”
His legal team said: “To his knowledge, no such allegations have been made against him in relation to Gino’s Italian Express. This is the first time – six years later – that he has been informed of these alleged incidents, which he categorically denies.”
Express.co.uk has contacted Gino’s representatives for comment.
