Gino D'Acampo accused of intimidating and inappropriate sexual behaviour
Celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo has been accused of inappropriate and intimidating behaviour by multiple people.
An ITV News investigation into the This Morning star reported dozens of people came forward with allegations against D'Acampo, describing his behaviour while working with him as "unacceptable", "distressing" and "horrendous".
D'Acampo responded to the ITV News investigation, stating that he "firmly denied" the allegations, additionally adding that they were "deeply upsetting".
One individual recalled a comment from 2011, when she was working on a magazine shoot with D'Acampo, who she claims told her he wanted to perform a sexual act on her.
Another woman who came forward shared an incident from a location shoot with the celebrity chef who "opened the door in his boxer shorts" and made references to the size of his genitals, before "flicking it" while in the presence of others.
In a statement issued by Gino D'Acampo's legal team, they said: "Mr D'Acampo categorically denies these allegations of inappropriate sexual behaviour."
"To his knowledge no such allegations have been made against him in relation to his time on Gino's Italian Express and this is the first time, six years later, he has been informed of these alleged incidents, and he does not accept them, not least because some of this is considered by Mr D'Acampo to be a fabricated work of fiction."
Allegations against the star span over a decade, with ITV News reporting that one unidentified production company was aware of multiple concerns raised by crew members - but continued to work with D'Acampo on further TV projects.
Four production companies have since issued statements in light of the investigation, outlining their duty of care practices.
Multistory Media stated that they ceased working with D'Acampo six years ago, while Studio Ramsay has not worked on a series with the star since 2022.

‘Bridgerton' Actress Says 'He Messed With Wrong Girl' After Fighting Off Attacker Who Stole Her Phone
Bridgerton actress Genevieve Chenneour has described how she fought off a thief attempting to snatch her mobile phone in a central London cafe. The Daily Mail newspaper has published footage of the actress – who plays Miss Clara Livingston in the hit Netflix period drama – sitting with her dog in a cafe in West London, being approached by a man who picked up her phone from next to her on the counter. More from Deadline 'Bridgerton' Season 4: Everything We Know So Far 'Bridgerton' Renewed For Seasons 5 & 6; Season 4 2026 Premiere Confirmed, Sneak Peek Released 'Bridgerton' Star Nicola Coughlan Trashes UK Supreme Court Ruling On Definition Of A Woman Unfortunately for him, he didn't have the information that, prior to her acting career taking off, Chenneour was a former Amateur Boxing Association qualified boxer and former professional athlete who had represented Team GB in international artistic swimming events. The footage of the incident – which took place in February – shows Chenneour realising what had happened and accosting her thief with several blows before she got her phone back. She later recounted the whole incident lasted about five minutes, with her attacker pinned to the floor for most of the time. Chenneour also had the help of another customer in the cafe. The actress said on TikToktold that the thief had 'messed with the wrong girl' and she ITV morning show This Morning: 'I had a bit of a sixth sense that something wasn't quite right, as woman you have that kind of intuition. 'I don't know if I would advise anybody else to do it. 'I think I have very quick reactions, thanks to having three brothers growing up and I'm an aviated carded boxer. I think it just was an instinct, I also do a lot of fight training for work and acting… 'I thought that was a normal reaction and I read all the comments [online] and realised, actually, a lot of people would just let them take the phone.' 'It kind of went round the corner and it turned into a full-on scrap with two people [Boulares and his accomplice]. 'And I was threatened with being stabbed so it became a real matter, in my mind, of life and death. 'So, I did things like, I remember kicking him back with my leg to create space in case he had a weapon on him… It was just a life-changing, crazy moment.' The thief – who has been named as Zacariah Boulares – previously attacked TV host Aled Jones for his Rolex watch in 2023, and was given a youth detention, serving 14 months. He has since turned 18, hence he is now able to be named.

Stellar Blade is already the third top-selling game on Steam more than a week before launch, and just its demo has reviews and players most full games would kill for
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The PS5's biggest winner through a lot of 2024 was Stellar Blade. The game did so well that its developers were given a PS5 Pro and a massive bonus, and now Sony is finally porting the game to PC – where it looks like it's going to be even bigger than ever. While the Stellar Blade PC port isn't releasing until June 11, the game is already sitting at number three in the Steam Top Sellers list just behind the ever-unstoppable Counter Strike 2 and Elden Ring Nightreign (which is doing super well, despite its mixed Steam reviews). However, that's not the only impressive feat Stellar Blade has managed to pull off on Steam ahead of its official release. Last week, Shift Up published a Stellar Blade Demo on Steam, with SteamDB showing the peak player count at 26,443 (for comparisons sake, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League – which released around the same time as the game on PS5 – peaked at 13,459). Not only that, but also, the Stellar Blade Demo already has just under 3,000 user reviews on Steam, with a Very Positive rating made up of 91% positive reviews. The reviews seem especially keen on how well the game is performing on PC, with numerous users praising the optimization of the game – with one user even claiming 120fps on max settings with a RTX 3070 from five years ago. Even though I didn't vibe with Stellar Blade on PS5 as much as I'd hoped to, it's refreshing to see what seems to be a great PC port in the era of Monster Hunter Wilds, Rise of the Ronin, and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered all having struggled on PC in their own ways. Stellar Blade 2 is in the works and will likely launch before 2027, developer Shift Up reveals.

Sony is "really thoughtful" about bringing PlayStation franchises like God of War and The Last of Us off console, and PS5 games going to PC is a matter of "if", not when
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. During Sony's game and network services segment fireside chat – it's going to need to work on that name – Sony Interactive Entertainment studio business group CEO Hermen Hulst says PS5 exclusives coming to PC isn't a matter of when, but if. And he really emphasized the if. "We're continuously exploring new ways for players to interact with their franchises," Hulst says during the talk. "It's important to realize that we're really thoughtful about bringing our franchises off console to reach new audiences, and that we're taking a very measured, very deliberate approach in doing that." So if you thought Sony was just seeing dollar signs and throwing Stellar Blade on PC without a plan, Hulst says otherwise. Sony will be seeing dollar signs now though, because Stellar Blade is the best single-player PlayStation launch on Steam. Former Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida previously said porting PlayStation games to PC is "almost like printing money" and was pushing the company to do it before it was popular internally. He cited reaching players in regions where consoles weren't popular as one reason to do it. "Particularly on the single-player side, our tentpole titles, they're such a point of differentiation for the PlayStation console," Hulst continues in the latest fireside chat, citing PlayStation's long legacy as the home of top-tier exclusives. "They're real showcases of the performance, of the quality of the hardware, so we want to ensure that players get the best experience from these titles. We're very thoughtful about how and if we bring these titles to other platforms." A lot of PlayStation's prestige games like Ghost of Tsushima or God of War launch on PC with ultra widescreen support, supporting what Hulst is saying about wanting to be able to give PC players a strong impression of PlayStation's games. One thing gamers are praising so heavily with Stellar Blade is just how well optimized it is. So, don't expect the next big PS5 game to launch on PC just because it's popular on console. But don't count it out entirely, either. In the meantime, check out our list of the best PS5 games you can play today.
