D’Acampo has been dropped by ITV – but the source said he “feels hard done by” due to claims the channel encouraged him to cultivate a “cheeky chappy” persona on shows, including daytime series This Morning.
The TV chef has found himself at the centre of a firestorm after ITV News reported dozens of allegations against him, describing “unacceptable”, “distressing” and “horrendous” behaviour over a 12-year period.
D’Acampo has denied claims that he made sexualised comments and gestures to female employees behind the scenes of his popular programmes.
Gino D’Acampo is reportedly furious with Gordon Ramsay for “orchestrating a smear campaign” against him.
He said earlier this week: “I have never been made aware of these matters previously and the allegations are firmly denied.
