Scroll down to read ITV’s response to the woman’s claims
SCANDAL-HIT telly chef Gino D’Acampo made “vile” sexual remarks about Holly Willoughby to a horrified woman — but her complaints to ITV were ignored.
She said there was no probe into her 2018 claims about “vulgar cretin” Gino. 
The telly chef is said to have told the woman that he was often asked which of Holly and Fearne Cotton he would most like to sleep with.
He told her: “If I could put the face of one on the body of the other then maybe, but I’d probably choose Holly because I’d have more fun with her.”
The woman said: “I was disgusted by what he said and how he behaved. He was crude and vile. He’s a vulgar cretin.”
She warned ITV about him as long ago as 2018.
In an email to chief executive Carolyn McCall, she wrote: “He is certainly not a man reflecting integrity or honesty or family values.
“One day he will be outed by many, many more and his associations will be running for the hills to disassociate themselves with him.”
The woman added: “I have a voice and if I can help stop this happening to others, I will.”
She also contacted This Morning, Channel 5, the BBC and other production companies involved with him.
The woman, who asked not to be identified, said: “Both ITV and the BBC came back sharply, essentially telling me to go away. It hadn’t happened during the production of any show, therefore it didn’t matter.
“ITV were specifically horrid and even cast doubt on what I was saying. They were cowardly.

“I haven’t watched TV since the pandemic because I didn’t want to see his face on TV.
“He was given a platform by TV executives who knew and were warned about his behaviour towards women.”
Investigations have now uncovered dozens of allegations against the married dad of three.
ITV has pulled all of his shows but is under growing pressure to explain what they knew, when they knew it and why no action was taken sooner.
Gino, 48, has “firmly denied” the allegations.
Channel 5 said it had been contacted in 2018 about an allegation “that did not relate to conduct on a Channel 5 production or programme”.
The BBC said it could not locate the woman’s complaint.
ITV declined to comment.
Holly appeared on ITV1 last night, hosting Dancing on Ice alongside Stephen Mulhern.

GINO D’Acampo is willing to meet ITV bosses and claims he is “100 per cent innocent”.
A source close to the star, whose career is hanging by a thread, said he had no intention of stepping back from showbiz.
They said: “He’s told family, friends and people he works with he’s done nothing to be ashamed of or worried about.”
Meanwhile, we can reveal Gino is likely to ditch plans to fly to the Caribbean for filming this month while in “crisis mode”.
