Gino D’Acampo has revealed that he is leaving ITV's popular This Morning show. He appeared on the programme today, Tuesday, March 29, declaring that "I am a little bit sad today". Hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby introduced the TV chef, saying "Back for some more chaos in the kitchen..." but then Gino dropped the bombshell.
The 45 year old Italian chef, nervously wandered about the studio, then said: “I was just walking around because I am a little bit sad today... because I am going to go to Italy very soon, in the next couple of days, so this is my last This Morning." Looking genuinely surprised, Holly and Phillip both asked: "Until when?" Gino came back, "until probably autumn or winter.” To which, Schofield quickly added: “Oh, thank god for that”.
Gino then turned to the camera, changing the subject, he said: "Do not panic, because I have really got so many beautiful things for you guys.” and went to to explain which dish he would be making on the show.
