Sykes previously criticised the TV industry for failing to stamp out poor behaviour by high-profile stars in December, stating: “I know that people think, ‘Oh well, you know we can’t get rid of him really because it’s such a successful show’, and it’s sort of fear about changing the format in case viewers don’t watch.”.
Highlighting the apparent power she alleges D’Acampo thought he had, Sykes said on her YouTube channel: “I remember once when Gino said to me he can just go up to the powers that be and knock on the door and go in, he doesn’t need a meeting.
‘The industry creates monsters,’ Sykes, who worked with TV chef for four years, said.
Writing in Illuminated, Sykes, who has been on screens since the 1990s, said that Wallace told her appearing on Celebrity MasterChef would help her career.
Melanie Sykes has shared her view on her former ITV daytime co-host Gino D’Acampo in the wake of allegations against the star.
