Jeremy Clarkson asked if Gino D’Acampo should really be cancelled after recent allegations of ‘inappropriate behaviour’
Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has spoken out to defend Gino D’Acampo after recent allegations of ‘inappropriate behaviour’. The celebrity chef is currently under investigation by ITV over “dozens” of allegations against him from various TV programmes over 12 years.
But now, Clarkson has asked if the Italian cook “really deserves to be cancelled” as he pointed out that he had not done anything illegal. Writing in his column for the Sun, the Clarkson’s Farm star said: “Others to have become pariahs in recent times are Gino D’Acampo, that man from the Go Compare adverts, Philip Schofield and Gregg Wallace.
“It’s getting to the point where, soon, only Monty Don will be left.”
He wrote that none of the men had done anything illegal as he added: “They just said something or did something which someone found offensive. And that’s that. It doesn’t even have to be a current misdemeanour.”
Jeremy continued: “The money’s rolling in. They’re best friends with Marcus Rashford. They have a speedboat and personal plates on their car, and then, bang — a lip-reader is brought in, studies some social media footage taken at a party in 2005, and they’re done.

“There’s no trial. No chance to mount a defence. They’re just out. On the scrapheap.”
Gino has “firmly denied” all allegations which include the usage of sexualised and hostile language on set with his alleged behaviour being described as “unacceptable, distressing and horrendous”.
He issued a statement to ITV News on Februry 7 denying the allegations: “I have been told by ITN news that allegations have been made about me acting inappropriately, some dating back over 10 years ago,” he said.

“I have never been made aware of these matters previously and the allegations are firmly denied. 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.
“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.
“I am a father, husband and have worked with well over 1,500 people on around 80 productions in my career, which I have been so proud of. I take such matters extremely seriously and the suggestion that I have acted in an improper way against is deeply upsetting.”
