Gino D’Acampo left Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby speechless with a vile X-rated joke in a resurfaced clip as he faces allegations of sexually inappropriate behaviour.
The TV chef, 48, has been rocked by ‘over 40’ allegations of sexually inappropriate and intimidating behaviour over a 12-year period – claims which he denies.
Amid the ITV News investigation, a clip from Celebrity Juice has reemerged, of him making a lewd comment about rival team captain Fearne’s looks.
In the segment from 2010, Ferne’s face had been recreated on a pizza, with host Keith Lemon – played by comedian Leigh Francis – joking: ‘Look at the likeness!’.
Gino, who was sat next to his captain Holly said: ‘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***’.
Fearne, 43, was left stunned as her mouth fell open while Holly, also 43, raised her hands to her face while the audience chanted the chef’s name.

Gino continued: ‘It’s because you can breathe easier’, to which Fearne replied: ‘Alright, you don’t need to elaborate!’.
He went on: ‘It’s just a theory I have. It’s the old Italian wisdom. It was a compliment’.
It comes after another clip from This Morning in November 2021, Gino joked about Holly‘s genitals, which outraged viewers at the time.
The host was left red-faced as Gino made a crude reference to her intimate areas while he used her body to illustrate a map of Italy.
Gino first joked that her bellybutton was Rome before Phillip Schofield jumped in and remarked: ‘I’m very concerned if he’s going to talk about Sicily here.’
But Gino continued: ‘No, Sicily is all the way down here. But if your bellybutton is Rome, I was born in Naples, which is on your side.
‘But I went to school where Vesuvius is. It’s more inland so I can technically say I spent my youth training and playing around… your vagina.’
Holly was left shocked by the crude remark and shrieked: ‘Oh my God!’

But Gino insisted: ‘There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just a word that everybody knows.’
At the time, the comments garnered an outraged response from viewers, who branded the segment ‘crude’, while others chastised him for ‘humiliating’ Holly.
The comments included: ‘Gino starts his innuendo by saying vagina at 11am and starts them all off over again. Getting a bit boring now’;
‘My late mum loved This Morning but now it’s all dirty talk every chance they get…’;
‘Why is Gino so disgusting he’s not funny! Get him off TV’; ‘Gino is a total pig! It isn’t what he said it’s the fact it was deemed ok to say it to Holly live on the TV.’
ITV News said it has now spoken to ‘over 40 people’ during its investigation, all of whom had either witnessed or experienced alleged inappropriate or intimidating behaviour by the celebrity chef.
His TV shows have been removed from the ITV schedule because of the claims, Gin has denied all allegations against him, saying he finds them deeply distressing.
One woman involved, known as ‘Hannah’, told ITV News: ‘It is all very disappointing, he could have come out and said he was really sorry, that he was going to take some time out and reflect on what had happened and what he’s been accused of. But what he should have said initially that he was sorry that he has hurt all these people. It is classic bully behaviour.’
In response to all allegations, D’Acampo said: ‘I have been told by ITN 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.

ITV News said it has now spoken to ‘over 40 people’ during its investigation, all of whom had either witnessed or experienced alleged inappropriate or intimidating behaviour by the celebrity chef
‘This is simply not in my nature. I do not recognise the version of events being put to me.’
He added: ‘Not only have these allegations never been raised with me before, I have been repeatedly supported by executives at the highest level and was commissioned on prime-time programmes during the period in which it is now suggested I was acting inappropriately.’
Dozens of people described their experience of working with the chef as ‘unacceptable,’ ‘distressing’ and even ‘horrendous’, according to the investigation.
Among the allegations are that D’Acampo described a young woman’s breasts as ‘perfect’ and ‘like a mouthful’, and that he threatened to have sex with a colleague’s girlfriend if she did not bring him an ice cream.
At least one production company was reportedly aware of complaints about the Italian star’s behaviour – yet continued to work with him on further TV projects.
