I feel so sorry for this guy. He and his family must be going through hell after spending years providing humour and good cooking tips to the public. What a sad, humourless world we now inhabit.

This is how I feel.

My one big hope is that at some point common sense will prevail again 🙏

I'd like to see names and faces of the ones making the allegations, released to the public. Let's investigate their past from 10 years ago up to the present time. Are they sqeaky clean and lily white? Money hunters? ITV should be ashamed of what they're doing to Gino....yet Gordon Ramsey can f n blind, shout and screaming, bully and belittle!

SUCH a good point, they all hide behind anonymity and we never know their true motivations.

Everyone knows that is how Gordon Ramsey is and no one says a dicky bird. Everyone knows what Gino is like and they accepted that for all these years, now all of a sudden they turn on him. My guess is that someone made a play for him and he turned them down. Let’s have the names of the complainants and the proof, I mean REAK proof not speculation, heresy or fabricated evidence. I bet they won’t be able to provide anything. In this day and age an accusers word is just not good enough, concrete and undisputable proof is what is needed. I also don’t believe that people should be cancelled and their lives destroyed by the woke brigade!

As a woman, this is what I don't get with the "me too" brigade. If you feel that a man has made you feel uncomfortable with some inappropriate sexual behaviour, why keep it quiet till many years later.....when recollections may vary - to use the late Queen's expression?

It’s called the “tyranny of the present”. How they look back with today’s moral views and judge past attitudes in today’s light! Not sure today’s morals are superior to those in the past.

This is becoming far too common, people are being cancelled for words. I definitely feel Gino was encouraged by ITV and also celebrity Juice it was how we were meant to see him. As the good looking chef with a cheeky smile and face. It’s good to see Dan ,that because you were put through similar circumstances you do not condemn before facts and evidence. ITV are the biggest culprits in this story for promoting it not Gino.

Exactly! Itv have double standards.

I remember Schofield & Willoughby killing themselves laughing regularly at Gino's innuendos.

Unfortunately I think this will happen more and more all due to woke/snowflakes agendas! After he’s been fully cancelled no doubt they will have someone else in their sights!

Expand full comment

Oh totally. Who do they want to cancel next. It's just a game to them.

Imagine if Benny Hill was still alive...

He was complained about years ago and no did a thing about it.... The organisers at the festival tried everything possible to calm him down, his management tried to push everything under the carpet

I agree the MSMis dying. I just turned my TV off because there’s nothing on that interests me. I’m about to watch an old Billy Connolly show on You Tube that would make one of the women’s toes curl.

I know I shouldn't be shocked by this, but I am ! ITV should be ashamed of themselves for what they are doing to this poor man and his family! Gino has been used for years by ITV , and now suddenly they are treating him as something dirty on their shoe !!!!

Absolutely disgraceful, Gino has done nothing wrong ! Just because someone may be offended by a joke, doesn't mean that there is something wrong with the joke! We are all offended by different things and should just respect that we all have a different view on life! I really don't understand the world now!!! I don't watch MSM as it's mostly lies !

If someone like Gino had made the comment to me I'd just laughed in his face and said thanks but no thanks!

Offence archaeology is the right term. If it wasn’t worth reporting years ago so-called victims are just taking advantage of the current woke climate. There’s this silliness and there’s the grooming gangs. Hmmm is this MSM using Gino d’Acampo to take the heat off the gangs which are once again being swept under the carpet 😡

I absolutely loved Gino back in the day when TV was worth watching. He used make cooking sexy and interesting, especially Italian cusine. What Itv are doing to him and his family is absolutely disgusting and I hope he sues them for defamation.

I’m the same as you Dan smutty jokes that’s all I am no fan of gino but he doesn’t deserve this I actually think Stephen Mulhern is more smutty but he is best buddies with Ant and Dec ,I will say I don’t think anyone should be cancelled for telling smutty jokes would they go after Ricky Gervais,don’t think so.

This must have been how it was in Cromwell’s republic with ruthless, fanatical puritans tearing up the churches, burning “witches” and everyone terrified of being thought a heretic.

These evil people are born again and back to make life hell because of their own personal beliefs and, dare I say it, perversions. It’s usually something sexual that “offends” them so they can excite themselves with how pure and righteous their own sexual selves are. Frankly, I think it’s sick. They should clean up their own minds and get some innocence back.

Nobody these days can carry on with the other sex especially if you’re a man, Gino was the best laugh he was fun to watch I hope he fights this and gets them sued. Good luck Gino.

Completly agree with your comments, Dan. Woke ITV executives are the only guilty party here, if there is anyone guilty And to those, who pretend that wete "offended" a decade ago and never bothered to raise it until now...just give me a break.
