Dermot O'Leary has very publicly laughed off any talk of tension between himself and This Morning co-star Gino D'Acampo after the chef snapped at him on Tuesday's show, before 'replacing' him as host.
Favourite to be the full time successor for Phillip Schofield on the ITV daytime programme, Dermot is coming to the end of an extended stint at the helm of This Morning, having fronted the show, alongside Phillip's former co-host Holly Willoughby, for two consecutive weeks. Dermot was bookies' immediate tip to step into Phillip's job, as soon as he announced he was leaving his This Morning role after 21 years, before then quitting ITV altogether after admitting to an affair with a much younger colleague.
Gino joined Dermot and Holly in the This Morning studio, as he made his return to the show after a few months away. Introducing him in the kitchen, Dermot quipped that Gino was finally being "allowed" back in, before Gino then fired back at Dermot for daring him to question during a cooking demo.
