Previously unpublished footage of Gino D’Acampo jokingly asking a woman and her boyfriend for a threesome has been released following allegations being made against the TV chef.

The This Morning star, 48, is currently facing allegations of “sexually inappropriate behaviour” following claims from numerous individuals spanning more than a decade. His actions have been slammed as “unacceptable, distressing and horrendous”, leading ITV to promptly axe his shows from their line-up.

These serious accusations came to light during an investigation by ITV News from people claiming to have worked alongside Gino. He has staunchly “firmly denied” these troubling allegations, expressing how “deeply upsetting” they are. Gino strongly denies all the allegations made against him.

Amid the reports, Gino’s past TV appearances have been re-examined by many. In footage now available online, Gino, alongside co-host Fred Sirieix, can be seen asking a woman for a threesome on the set of his now cancelled ITV show Gino and Fred: Emission Impossible in October 2023.

The footage, obtained by The Sun, shows Gino and Fred in Innsbruck, Austria, watching an Austrian dance troupe perform, which includes the female dancer, her partner, and another man. Throughout this time, Gino boasts about his ability to “get” the female dancers effortlessly and makes comments to one of the boyfriends, hinting at a rather risqué perspective on his part, even going so far as to label him a “pervert”

Additionally, the famous chef, who seems to be enjoying a pint, suggests he and Fred give the traditional dance a go, wondering aloud if it’s possible to perform it while inebriated.

The duo hit the stage, swapping out with two Austrian performers in a humorous attempt to mimic them. Gino is seen hoisting Fred onto his shoulders and mockingly aims for his groin area. After the act, Gino suggests to the female dancer stood between him and Fred, “Why don’t you just have a threesome? ” Her response is a crisp, “Uh, no.”

Looking for approval, the TV chef questions the crowd, “Everybody happy? ” only to receive from the dancer, “Not me.” It’s emerged that the family-oriented dance troupe expressed their displeasure to Betty, the production house behind the show. A production insider disclosed to The Sun that there were several grievances lodged by participants and crew which were “escalated to ITV” after the shoot in Austria was abruptly ceased within a week – ostensibly due to Gino’s health issues.

The production company reportedly conducted a review of their duty of care protocols following the show’s creation in June last year, with its broadcast finally taking place in December after initial postponements. The segment featuring Gino, Fred, and some dancers was ultimately excluded from the aired content.

Addressing allegations of inappropriate behaviour, Gino told ITV News last week: “I have been told by ITN news that allegations have been made about me acting inappropriately, some dating back over ten years ago. 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.”

He continued, “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.”
