Gino D'Acampo 'to start new life abroad' following sexual misconduct allegations

Gino D'Acampo 'to start new life abroad' following sexual misconduct allegations

Metro11-07-2025
Gino D'Acampo is reportedly set to begin a new life in Australia following accusations of sexual misconduct.
Late last year, the Italian celebrity chef, 48, faced accusations of misconduct involving his former colleagues.
His alleged behaviour was described as 'unacceptable' and 'distressing', and is said to have included sexualised comments and aggressive language on sets.
D'Acampo has always 'firmly denied' the allegations and said they are 'deeply upsetting'.
The Sun reports that the television presenter has listed his £4.2 million Hertfordshire mansion for sale and is set to make a new life Down Under, launching 'multiple projects' after being sacked from ITV.
These new projects allegedly include two new restaurants and a culinary tech platform.
A representative for D'Acampo told the publication: 'He loves Australia a lot — the people, culture, cleanliness and environment.'
A separate source continued: 'Gino has had a fantastic career over here — and still has an incredibly loyal fanbase.
'But it's been made clear to him that TV opportunities over here are few and far between in the wake of recent allegations, and that's frustrating.
'While Gino has always denied any wrongdoing, he's a pragmatist and knows it's time for new adventures.'
They added that he had been 'inundated' with work offers following a 'really successful' tour through the country.
'He spent some time in Australia a few years ago, and loved it. He still has a large social media following and plans to capitalise on that in the next stage of his career.'
The Sun continued that Gino will maintain a base in the UK, but will spend a large amount of time in Australia and is looking at properties in Melbourne.
It comes after D'Acampo shared his latest TV series following the controversies.
He told The Mirror: 'We have a TV project on for later this year in September, I want to go all around Malta, it's a show called An Italian In Malta.
'The idea is to show everyone all over the world a bit about the country—I want to find the perfect restaurant, the perfect recipe, the perfect spot.
'I will speak to the local people [about] what they cook and how they cooked 200 years ago.' More Trending
But that's not all, as D'Acampo is embarking on a career change with a mystery series that will see him act for the first time.
He revealed: 'I am playing a part in a series; my part is this Italian-American mechanic that is always in trouble with the police or always in trouble with the law, and then he became a mechanic, and he's helping the main character in the show.
'This is acting now; I'm not becoming a real mechanic. I'm useless at stuff like that.'

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SKY insider has shared some of his little-known tricks to get the best out of your TV. Sky Glass and Sky Stream hide a number of handy hacks, including ways to instantly skip ads faster than ever and a secret "night mode" that may come in very useful. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Sky's Matt Rye reveals his top tips 2 Never lose your remote again Credit: Sky Faster ad skipping So let's start with the ads first of all. If you pay for ad skip, you can bypass any breaks but some viewers go through the long process of manually fast forwarding. "Don't fancy watching the ads?" Matt Rye, Sky's Director of Product Management told The Sun. "Upgrade to the ad skip feature for the option to skip through them all using the 'skip ads' button that pops up on screen as soon as the break begins." This button will take you straight to the show content with needing to work out when to hit stop after fast fowarding. Night Mode Night Mode is a special feature that prevents you from waking up the entire household. This can come in especially useful for loud booms during a movie. "If you're a late-night TV watcher like I am, especially when watching movies until the early hours of the morning, you might not want to disturb everyone's sleep with loud volume," Matt says. "For this, we have night mode. "An optional setting, which reduces the volume level of dramatic sounds. "Press the three dots button on your remote to bring up the menu and select." Discover new features on Sky TV that make it even easier to find favourite shows Lost your remote? Losing your remote can be a right pain, leading to endless searches around the house or down the side of the sofa. Fortunately, there's an easy way people forget to use to instantly retrieve their controller. "If you've lost your remote down the back of the sofa, or the kids have hidden it somewhere, you can ask Glass to find it for you," Matt explains. "Say 'Hello Sky, Find my remote' and the remote will start beeping until you find it and pick it up."

Love Island's India Reynolds reveals she's found love after All Stars with new boyfriend she met on Hinge

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island star India Reynolds has revealed she's found love after after meeting her new man on dating app Hinge. India, 34, took part on All Stars in January but was dumped from the villa after Tina Stinnes stole Scott Thomas from her in the recoupling. 4 India Reynolds has revealed she's found love after All Stars Credit: Instagram 4 The reality star said she met her new man on dating app Hinge Credit: Instagram 4 India was the first Islander to be dumped from the villa on the All Stars series this year Credit: ITV But it looks like her luck is changing after the brunette beauty decided to jump back into the dating pool after the show. India said: "I was in a long-term relationship and then single for three years, I think I got the fear of dating. "You know when you go on those dates on the show, you feel so awkward. "It just put the first date fear of god into me and I didn't date for ages." Appearing on Olivia Attwood's So Wrong It's Right podcast, the host was keen to find out if she was dating again. India shared that she had initially been blocked from the dating app after it was thought her profile was fake. But after the hiccup, India was back on the site and ready to find love. India revealed: "After I came out of this series, the All Stars in January, I was like 'I need to get my act together' because I haven't dated anyone properly in ages, I'm getting older, I want to have kids... get a move on. "I downloaded Hinge and thought this is going to be great for me and then they deleted my profile for impersonation, they thought it was a fake account. "I had to redownload it and I had to send my passport and go through this whole palaver just to go on a first date with someone." Love Island viewers after star makes VERY rude comment about rival's family member She then shared her excitement of her blossoming new romance, saying: "But I finally got it back, went on a first date and the first guy I went on a date with was really nice. Olivia then asked if she was still dating the mystery man and a smitten India confirmed they were an item. It February India posted a dig at show partner Scott Thomas on her page. The model was dumped from the island alongside Marcel Somerville, but had spent the first week getting closer to Scott. However, their potential romance ground to a halt after a brutal game of Truth or Dare. After India declared him the 'most calculated in the villa', shortly after he saw his head turn towards bombshell Tina Stinnes, Scott didn't look too happy. It prompted him to declare: "That's just given me the ick mate. Big." But the swipe against her doesn't seem to have phased India, and in a TikTok in her car she is seen lipsyncing to a trend saying: "Did I say that? Did I? Do you know what, I don't remember saying that." She wrote across the clip: "Scott after calling me an ick." India was previously hailed the "most beautiful" Love Island contestant - before her beauty secrets were revealed. After leaving the villa, India admitted she had her eye on someone else on the show – but didn't make a move because of their age. "I think if Luca was a bit older then maybe Luca," India exclusively told The Sun. India previously took part on Love Island in 2019, during series five. She entered the villa as a bombshell and reached the final with Ovie Soko, finishing in third place, but the pair split four months after.
