ITV's Gino D'Acampo snaps at This Morning stars as he's 'allowed' back in studio

Gino D'Acampo snapped at both Dermot O'Leary and Holly Willoughby on Tuesday's This Morning as the TV chef was 'allowed' to return to the studio for the first time in months.

Family Fortunes host Gino has been a regular on This Morning for years now, fronting his own travel and cookery mini series from his homeland of Italy, as well as appearing live in the studio for demonstrations in the ITV daytime programme's kitchen. Having been absent for a while, due to being back in Italy for an extended spell, Dermot joked that Gino was finally 'allowed' back in the studio as she and Dermot presented their second show of the week together.

Viewers at home were informed that Gino would be joining the presenters to demonstrate how to make the perfect tiramisu, before returning for a summer cocktail masterclass. And when it came to his first appearance, Gino was in no mood for messing around as he took up position in the kitchen, with Dermot and Holly tucking into desserts he'd made earlier beside him.

While Holly has worked alongside Gino on many occasions and knows how to wind him up, Dermot has had much less airtime with and got the sharp side of Gino's tongue when he dared to question him on something mid-demonstration. Gino snapped back: Who is the cook on the show?" As Dermot replied: "I don't know," Gino snapped: "Who is the cook?! Do I tell you how present the show? No."

As Gino then continued with his demo, he then took aim at Holly, after she couldn't remember the name of a dish he gave her the recipe for, becoming more and more irate as she failed to give the right answer.

Gino also left Holly and Dermot squirming when he made light of the scandal surrounding the show and its former host Phillip Schofield, by quipping: " “I’ve been in Italy for a month, any news I need to know about?”
