Gino D’Acampo has admitted some of his bedroom antics come from a £2 charity shop book.
The Italian chef and broadcaster, 48, has been loved up with wife Jessica Stellina ever since they first got together when they were 18. Since then, the couple have been together for more than three decades, bringing three children into the world.
However, as the years go by, they continue to find new ways to spice up their sex lives. The I’m A Celebrity winner revealed that one way the pair keep the flame alive is to take inspiration from an intimacy book the couple found in a charity shop.

Gino explained in an interview with The Sun: “There are many tricks to use to change things up and make it fun as well – I literally found a book from 1930. Now this book is like the Kama Sutra, it’s a sex position book, but is done in a funny way.

“I got it in a charity shop, it was a couple of pounds,” he added. “I flicked through it and I was thinking, ‘This is funny.’ What I did, after a couple of days I went home and I flicked it through there.”
He admitted that his doting wife Jessica stumbled across Gino as he was checking the book out and it was obvious that she was on board with the idea. “Jess got very interested in some of the positions because they were funny,” he explained. “We wanted to see if we could actually do it and this is how it happens.”
Jess and Gino have been head over heels for each other ever since they first met in Marbella on the south Spanish coast in 1986. Aged just 18, Gino was working in Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone’s Mambo King restaurant in the area, when he met Jessica – who was working as a waitress.

The couple immediately hit it off and went on to get hitched in 2002, after years of dating and romance. The journey to their marriage was not without its hiccups, however, as the pair split for about a year before reconnecting.
Since then, the couple have welcomed three children into the world, with Gino playing the role of a doting father. He has also said that his career has helped play a part in their marriage lasting so long, as he admitted that not seeing each other too much means they have a lot to catch up on when they see each other again.

“We have a lot of dinners and lunches with our friends,” he explained in an interview with the Mirror. “It’s important to have your own life. You can’t be part of a couple’s life if you don’t have your own.
“I can be away for a month and I will talk to my wife once a week for about 20 minutes. Then, when I come back, we can talk about it all.”
