Fred Siriex has broken his silence and failed to acknowledge Gino D'Acampo quitting ITV series Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip. First Dates star Fred took to Instagram to promote his reality show, Fred's Last Resort, on rival channel E4.
Breaking his silence after Gino quit the popular TV series, Fred, 51, took to social media to promote his new TV show as he penned: "#FredsLastResort tonight 9pm @e4grams Enjoy."
Meanwhile, TV chef Gordon made no reference to the news that Gino was departing their show as he shared snaps of his Lucy Cat Pan-Asian restaurant in London's Mayfair - seemingly skirting over the drama.
Gino broke the news that he won't be returning to Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip but insisted that his friendship with Gordan and Fred remains 'very strong'.
The much-loved chef, 46, said it is impossible to continue the ITV travel and food show, which saw them visit various countries including USA, Greece and France.
"Last week I decided not to film any more Gordon, Gino and Fred Road trips. The reason is very simple – nothing to do with Gordon or Fred, the friendship is very strong," he told his followers.
"It’s just because we can’t get the dates together and sometimes when we do get the dates together sometimes they get changed and it causes a lot of problems for me because I have other stuff that I have to do.
"Personal problems as well because when I have to change things with my family it is very complicated and also because contracts.
"Because contracts start to become very complicated and very stressful, I personally value the friendship with Gordon and Fred so much that I would rather the friendship than arguments with the contract.
"So I have decided not to do it anymore because I want to be friends with the boys for many, many years ahead."
The popular series first aired in 2018 which saw Gino, Gordon and Fred travel to Italy and France.
Two years later, they headed to America and in 2021 they were in Greece.
Viewers watched as they navigated new cities and food, as well as learning to live alongside each other in their campervan.
The trio have also produced three Christmas Specials.
A spokesperson for ITV said: "A brand new series of Gordon, Gino & Fred's Road Trip in Spain will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX later this year."
