Gino D'Acampo is said to have 'blindsided' ITV bosses with his very public announcement that he'd quit hit show Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip.
Gino and his co-stars have been pulling in millions of viewers for the travel and cookery series since 2018 but, on Sunday evening, former I'm A Celebrity winner and This Morning regular Gino posted a video on Instagram, in which he told fans that he'd decided to walk away to 'save' his friendship with Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix, after arguments over contracts.
Gino said his bond with his two co-stars was 'more important' than problematic negotiations, saying: "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."
