TV chef Gino D’Acampo once made a very crude remark about co-star Fearne Cotton’s “oral skills” judging by her nostrils while filming for an episode of Celebrity Juice
Gino D’Acampo’s filthy oral quip to Fearne Cotton has resurfaced. In the uncovered scene filmed for Celebrity Juice, Fearne was left in disbelief after co-star Gino D’Acampo made the jaw-dropping remark. During the segment, Gino compared her face to a pizza with olive eyes, pineapple as a nose and a pepper for a mouth.
The show’s host Keith Lemon joked about the “likeness” between the pizza and Fearne, to which Gino responded: “I have a theory and I’m sorry, you know how much I like you, right, but I think when you have big nostrils, actually you can suck like f***.”
Cotton was clearly taken aback by D’Acampo’s X-rated remark as the telly chef continued: “It’s because you can breathe easier.” Fearne tried to stop his tirade as she quipped he “didn’t need to elaborate,” but Gino kept on: “It’s just a theory I have. It’s the old Italian wisdom.”
He closed off his joke by saying: “It was a compliment!” The resurfaced Celebrity Juice clip has come to light after recent accusations against Gino, which he “firmly denies” – Fearne Cotton has not stepped forward to make any claims.
The allegations, spanning over 14 years, were reported to the public after ITV News carried out an investigation into Gino’s behaviour. One woman has alleged that Gino said he would “like to turn me over and f*** me up the a*** against the kitchen counter” back in 2011.
Someone else alleged that he told a young member of staff: “When are we all going to get drunk and have sex together.”
Gino has responded to the recent allegations and issued a statement: “I have been told by ITN [producer of ITV News] News that allegations have been made about me acting inappropriately, some dating back over ten years ago.
“I have never been made aware of these matters previously and the allegations are firmly denied. I would not do anything that I thought would upset or distress anyone. This is simply not in my nature. I do not recognise the version of events being put to me.”
D’Acampo went on to say that he “has been repeatedly supported by executives at the highest level” and he was “commissioned on prime time programmes during the period in which it is now suggested he was acting inappropriately”.
He closed off by stating that he is a “father, husband and has worked with well over 1500 people on around 80 productions throughout his career.” The TV chef is “proud” of his work and “takes such matters extremely seriously”.
“The suggestion that I have acted in an improper way against is deeply upsetting.”
