ITV Family Fortunes Gino D'Acampo fumes as Phillip Schofield 'awkwardly' addressed on show

Gino D'ACampo was fuming as Phillip Schofield was "awkwardly" referenced in last night's Family Fortunes.

The 46-year-old chef returned on Sunday evening to front another edition of the popular ITV game show. The Karunwi family from Dumfries went up against the Keeler family from Great Yarmouth in a bid to win the £30,000 jackpot.

ITV has been rocked with drama as Phillip quit his role as presenter on This Morning over the weekend. The broadcaster released a statement to announce he had already fronted his last show after a "difficult week" where rumours of a feud between him and Holly Willoughby reached fever pitch.

Viewers following Family Fortunes last night were shocked when one of the questions the families had to answer was "name someone who appears on the TV show". The Keelers went up first and answered Gino, who was in 4th place from the survey of 100 people.

However, the host was taken aback that he was so low. He said: "I should be there otherwise I'm never doing This Morning again."

He added: "It annoys me that I'm number four. Who's gonna be above me?"

Phil, Holly and Alison Hammond filled up the top three spots and Eamonn Holmes was in fifth position. The episode was a repeat that had been previously broadcast but fans on Twitter were surprised the show aired featuring this question after This Morning has been hit with drama over the past week.

Traylor said: "Well this is an awkwardly timed question: Name someone who appears on This Morning"

Matt added: "PHIL - Look away"

Neil posted: "family fortunes asking "presenters that appears on this morning" the day after Phil leaves"

Scott tweeted: "Oh god #FamilyFortunes on ITV just had the question “name somebody who regularly appears on the TV show This Morning.” The top answers were Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield."
