TV chef Gino D'Acampo denies dozens of allegations of inappropriate behaviour
TV chef Gino D'Acampo has denied dozens of allegations of inappropriate and intimidating behaviour on the sets of TV shows he has appeared on.
D'Acampo actions were described as being "unacceptable", "distressing" and "horrendous", according to an ITV News investigation.
Anonymous women who spoke to the news broadcaster also accused D'Acampo of aggressive behaviour and making highly sexualised remarks.
In a statement to ITV News, D'Acampo has said he "firmly" denies the allegations and "would not do anything that I thought would upset or distress anyone".
He adds: "I am a father, husband... the suggestion that I have acted in an improper way against is deeply upsetting."
Sky News has contacted D'Acampo for comment.
ITV also reported that bosses at Objective Media Group, the production company behind Gordon, Gino And Fred's Roadtrip in 2018, appear to have been aware of concerns about D'Acampo's behaviour.
Objective Media Group said: "We have robust protocols and procedures in place for all cast and crew, including on-screen talent, that we review regularly whilst also ensuring that we take into account developments regarding industry wide 'Duty of Care' guidelines."
The production company continued: "Across all productions we encourage people to raise any concerns at the earliest opportunity... If there are incidents or complaints reported, we implement our Escalation Procedure and ensure that a full and thorough process is followed in close collaboration with the broadcaster."

Other production companies that have worked with D'Acampo have also issued statements following the allegations.
Studio Ramsay said: "Whilst we do not disclose or discuss personnel matters publicly, Studio Ramsay is committed, in conjunction with our broadcast partners, to a safe and professional work environment. We take all allegations of inappropriate behaviour and workplace misconduct seriously, promptly investigate, and take appropriate remedial action when warranted."
MultiStory Media said: "It would be inappropriate to go into the detail of individual concerns but we give our assurance that we are reviewing the concerns which have been raised, what was known at the time and what action was taken. We will also look at any new concerns that have come to light."

A Mumsnet user said she and her best friend hit a road bump on their trip planning in regard to a fairly common expense 'When I asked about getting there she said she'd drive but asked for some gas money,' the woman explained Now, she's wondering if she's wrong for feeling annoyedMoney talk is fueling a disagreement between best friends. A woman turned to the community forum Mumsnet to share that she's feeling 'irked' after her best friend, whom she's known 'for over half of our lives,' requested they split the cost of gas for their upcoming girls' trip. 'We're going away for the night a couple of hours away,' she wrote. 'We both decided on the venue and both are paying equally for the stay.' 'When I asked about getting there, she said she'd drive but asked for some gas money,' she continued, adding that the request annoyed her. 'She's going there anyway, and we're best friends, I wouldn't charge her if it were me. And no, I can't drive there myself because my husband needs our car.' The woman then admitted that she's 'not the best with money' and that her husband has always 'scoffed' at this particular friendship. 'Of course I'll still pay,' the woman clarified, before asking other Mumsnet users, 'Am I being unreasonable to feel this way?'

A third Mumsnet user agreed, writing, 'Your friend now has the additional stress of driving, the least you can do is give some gas money.' Another chimed in, saying, "You should definitely pay half of the petrol, and buy the coffee if you stop halfway! "Your friend is not only paying for the petrol, but also doing the driving, taking the wear on her car, and risking her car being damaged/accident/breakdown etc. during the journey. You either take it in turns or you pay your way," the commenter concluded. Read the original article on People

This Vintage Clip of Kate Middleton Apologizing to Prince William After Beating Him in a Boat Race Is Going Viral on TikTok
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Getting ready for a royal family flashback courtesy of a vintage clip of Kate Middleton and Prince William from the couple's 2014 trip to Aukland, New Zealand that's currently going viral on TikTok. In the clip, Kate can be seen playfully (and adorably) apologizing to her husband after beating him not just once, but twice when the two faced off in a yacht race on the trip. The clip, which has more than 21K likes and close to 515K views as of this writing, features Kate (looking nautical AF in a blue and white striped top) saying, "I am sorry," while holding Will's hands after her back-to-back victories. Will and Kate both stepped up during the April 2014 trip and took the helm of an Emirates Team New Zealand Americas Cup yacht for the race, which was held at the Viaduct Basin, in Auckland. According to a report from Sky News at the time, "Kate left William in her wake as she took the helm of one of the Team New Zealand America's Cup yachts for almost the whole 90 minutes spent on the water." Kate's victory was made even sweeter by the fact that, according to Sky News, Will had previously told New Zealand Prime Minister John Key that he would be the one to win the race (which was apparently seen by some as a kind of "revenge match" for a dragon boat competition that Will actually won during the royal couple's 2011 tour of Canada). "We were sabotaged," Will joked after losing the Aukland race, and, when someone told him that Kate looked pleased to have won, he added, "I bet she is. Selfless husband. I wanted a quiet night." Eric Haagh, who was the skipper of William's boat, recapped the race and explained that, even though "William was a good sailor," Kate ultimately won because she "pushed us around into a bad position" and "did very well." Haagh also confirmed that the couple's reputation for being competitive is well-earned, revealing William had a slightly salty reaction when his wife won both races. "William was very competitive right from the start—he didn't want to lose," Haagh added. "When Kate won both the races he just said: 'At least she'll be happy.'"

Police prepare for ‘No Kings' protests
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Thousands of protests against the Trump administration are scheduled to take place around the country this weekend, including in the St. Louis area. The No Kings protests have been planned for more than a month to coincide with the U.S. military parade planned for this weekend. But with anti-ICE protests sparking violence in Los Angeles recently, this movement is getting extra attention. 'I think a lot of people are rightly concerned. They see Gov. Kehoe announcing that we are in a state of emergency. That's alarming but people see what's happening in LA. They're seeing what's happening to immigrants in the country and they're worried,' said Indivisible St. Louis co-lead Laura Gordon. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now Protests are scheduled all over the area, including ones at Kiener Plaza, Manchester Road & South Weidman Road, Mid Rivers Mall Dr. and Sue Mandy Dr. in St. Peters. Gordon helped organize one demonstration in Ballwin, where she says thousands are likely to attend. 'From our end, we've already coordinated with police, we have medics on the scene, we have lawyers on the scene. We're also telling people, ''this is peaceful,'' she said. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD) is preparing, too. 'The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department will utilize all means necessary to protect our community. The safety of everyone—demonstrators, residents and visitors—remains our top priority,' the department said in its release. Brothers charged in Webster Groves and Eureka car break-ins Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe also activated the Missouri National Guard in anticipation of civil unrest. FOX 2 reached out to the guard for more information on how they will be invloved but has not heard back. 'I absolutely trust the governor here to keep Missourians safe. It's the first duty of government to keep law-abiding citizens safer. I support him and I support law enforcement. We have terrific law enforcement in Missouri,' Senator Josh Hawley said. Gordon said if the guard does show up, she hopes it'll also serve as extra protection for peaceful protesters. 'It's easy to see this as an escalation of violence but at the end of the day, I support our military. I want our veterans to have rights and care,' she said. The Ballwin protest starts at 11:30 a.m. tomorrow. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
