TV chef has addressed subject for first time
Gordon Ramsay has addressed claims that he orchestrated a smear campaign against his former co-star Gino D’Acampo, who has been accused of unacceptable behavior. D’Acampo, who quit the ITV series *Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip* in 2023, has denied the allegations, stating he was unaware of the claims and has been supported by executives during the period in question. D’Acampo claims ITV encouraged him to adopt a "cheeky chappie" persona on shows, including *This Morning*. ITV has dropped D’Acampo, and sources say he feels "hard done by." ITV and Ramsay have not yet responded to requests for comment.
