Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix have broken their social media silence in the wake of serious allegations surrounding their former co-star, Gino D’Acampo.
The 48-year-old Italian chef, known for his cheeky persona on television, is currently facing accusations from multiple people
who describe his conduct over the past 12 years as “distressing,” “unacceptable,” and even “horrendous.”
While D’Acampo denies these claims, the controversy has drawn significant attention.
Despite the media frenzy, Gordon and Fred chose not to directly address the allegations against Gino.
Instead, both stars took to their Instagram stories to share snapshots of their daily lives.
Gordon Ramsay posted a picture from his dinner at Pizzeria Bianco, where he smiled broadly alongside the restaurant’s chefs. Fred Sirieix, on the other hand, re-shared an image from his work with The Right Course, a charity he founded that helps offenders reintegrate into society by training them in the hospitality industry.
The duo’s decision to remain silent about the allegations and focus on their personal and professional activities may come as a surprise to some, given the close relationship they once shared with Gino, especially during the filming of Gordon, Gino, and Fred’s Road Trip. However, the situation has become more complicated since Gino’s departure from the show in 2023.
The End of “Gordon, Gino, and Fred’s Road Trip”
Gordon, Gino, and Fred’s Road Trip had been a hit show on ITV, with the trio traveling across Europe, the United States, and beyond, sharing their culinary adventures with fans. However, in March 2023, Gino announced that he would be stepping away from the show, citing “contract complications.” He stated that his decision had nothing to do with his relationship with Gordon or Fred but was instead a result of the stress caused by contractual issues.
In his social media post at the time, Gino emphasized his strong friendship with his co-stars and expressed his preference for maintaining their personal bonds rather than dealing with the complexities of production contracts. “I decided not to film any more Gordon, Gino, and Fred’s Road Trips… because contracts start to become very complicated and very stressful,” Gino wrote. “I personally value the friendship with Gordon and Fred so much that I would rather the friendship than arguments with the contract.”
Behind the scenes, however, an ITV insider suggested that Gino’s departure may have been influenced by his demands surrounding his work schedule. Allegedly, he requested significant changes to his contract, including limiting his working hours and ensuring later starts to his filming days. Gino reportedly wanted to work no more than six months a year, which was deemed impractical given the tight schedules of the other hosts.
Allegations Against Gino D’Acampo
As Gino stepped away from the show, the controversy surrounding him only deepened. New claims from multiple individuals have surfaced, accusing him of inappropriate and intimidating behavior. These allegations span over a period of more than a decade and involve incidents both on and off set.
One of the women, identified by the pseudonym Hannah, recalled a disturbing incident during a magazine shoot in 2011, where Gino allegedly made an explicit and demeaning comment in front of an entire crew. She stated that his comment left her feeling humiliated, though others in the crew reportedly did not intervene.
Another woman, given the pseudonym Natalie, described an unsettling encounter with Gino during a location shoot. She recalled that Gino answered his door in nothing but boxer shorts and made crude jokes about his body. She claimed that his behavior made her feel “disgusted.”
Additionally, former colleagues have alleged that Gino’s behavior became increasingly aggressive and inappropriate on set. One report claimed that in 2019, he confronted a young crew member over something as trivial as an ice cream, making an obscene remark that was said to have haunted the witness for years.
Gino’s Denial
In response to the growing number of allegations, Gino D’Acampo has firmly denied all claims, calling them “deeply upsetting.” His legal team has also stated that many of the allegations had never been brought up until recently and that Gino does not recall or accept the events as described. He has also denied an incident involving an ice cream and strongly refuted any suggestion of misconduct on set.
Despite his denials, the ongoing allegations have placed a significant strain on Gino’s public image and raised questions about his conduct in the workplace. His relationships with former colleagues, including Gordon and Fred, seem to have cooled, especially after his departure from the show.
Gordon and Fred’s Reaction
While Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix have yet to address the allegations directly, their recent social media posts reflect their focus on other aspects of their careers. Gordon continues to work on his numerous restaurant ventures, while Fred remains dedicated to his charitable work with The Right Course. However, their silence on the matter of Gino’s alleged misconduct suggests a careful approach, likely in light of the ongoing legal situation and the sensitivity surrounding the accusations.
As the story develops, fans of Gordon, Gino, and Fred’s Road Trip will no doubt be keeping a close eye on how the three chefs navigate this challenging time. Whether their friendships can survive the allegations against Gino remains to be seen.
