Gino D'Acampo ordered off Loose Women set before appearance on ITV show

Gino D'Acampo was ordered off the Loose Women set on Wednesday after he made an earlier than expected arrival on the show.

TV chef Gino, who is back on This Morning after a lengthy break in Italy, was due to be on the lunchtime programme as a guest to talk about his new ITV series and book of family recipes. Former I'm A Celebrity winner Gino was due to join the panel in the final part of the episode but wandered on set unannounced way before his cue to enter.

Jane Moore was hosting Loose Women as she and colleagues Denise Welch, Brenda Edwards and Linda Robson talked about a range of subjects including what constitutes cheating in a relationship and whether they approved of friends and family calling round unannounced. Denise admitted that she and husband Lincoln have resorted to crawling along the floor to avoid being spotted by guests who've arrived at their house without prior warning, while Jane shared a tactic used by her auntie of putting a coat on so it looked like she was on her way out should someone she wasn't keen to see paid a visit.

Jane revealed a poll of Loose Women viewers showed that the majority of them were against 'popper-inners' and it was then that Gino made a surprise appearance walking on set as the 'uninvited guest'. And, rather than giving him a warm welcome, presenter Jane gave him short shrift.

She was in the middle of reading a link into an ad break when a door bell sounded and Gino walked in from behind the scenes, but shooting him a stern expression, and waving her arm at him, she shouted: "No, not yet."

Gino then asked: "How long do I need to wait?" with Jane firing back: "After the break. Go on! Back out."

Looking down the lens, the host added: "Goodness me. Well, as you now know, everyone's favourite TV chef Gino D'Acampo will be here."
