The couple soaked up the sun in the throwback snap as she teasing her jaw-dropping figure in a plunging blue swimsuit.

The First Dates maître d’ then hit the shops and posed for silly snaps while picking up his ingredients for their romantic night in.

He wrote: ‘Thought I’d jump on this fun trend… Love at first bite! This Valentine’s, make your dishes extra special with Knorr’s Red Wine Stockpot. Because a great spaghetti Bolognese starts with the perfect base!’.

It comes after Fred’s scandal plagued co-star Gino D’Acampo left a dancer humiliated by suggesting she join both men in a threesome while filming their latest ITV series Emission Impossible.

It comes after Fred’s scandal plagued co-star Gino D’Acampo (R) left a dancer humiliated by suggesting she join both men in a threesome while filming their latest ITV series 

The TV chef, 48, has been rocked by ‘over 40’ allegations of Sєxually inappropriate and intimidating behaviour over a 12-year period – claims which he denies, saying he finds them deeply distressing.

In the new clip, obtained by The Sun, which was filmed in October 2023 but did not air, Italian Gino and Frenchman Fred ventured to Austria where they were taught traditional dancing.

According to the publication the married chef repeatedly quizzed the female dancer if she ‘prefers Italian or French’ men, despite her insisting she had a boyfriend. 

Later Gino allegedly pretended to slap his co-star’s genitals while they performed the routine before asking the dancer: ‘Why don’t you just have a threesome.’

‘No’ she replied firmly, before asking the audience: ‘Everybody happy?’.

To which the dancer once again hit back: ‘Not me’, the exchange reportedly led to the family dance troupe complaining to the series’ production company. 

A source said: ‘The show was subject to a number of complaints from contributors and crew. These were escalated to ITV when filming was halted after a week on location in Austria.

‘This was supposedly due to Gino’s ill health. But there were already concerns about his behaviour when the shoot was pulled’.

‘You can see in the video that the dancers are visibly uncomfortable during filming and Gino made a number of Sєxually inappropriate comments to them.’ 

MailOnline have contacted Gino’s reps, ITV for comment.

On Sunday, Fred reportedly made a public show of support for Gino amid allegations of ‘inappropriate behaviour’ and liked his pals latest, according to The Mirror – which no longer appears on the post.

Gino posted a video of his meet and greet with fans at an Asda store where he flogged his cook book.

MailOnline have contacted Fred’s representatives for a comment. 

Carefree Gino enjoyed a night out with wife Jessica Stellina Morrison and co-star Fred just 24-hours before his axe from ITV over allegations of Sєxually inappropriate and intimidating behaviour.

But before the news broke Gino, 48, and Jessica, who share sons Luciano, 22, Rocco, 19, and 12-year-old Mia, were enjoying a rollicking outing with co-star Fred, 53.

In the clip shared to Instagram all three beamed and giggled as they entered the event with Gino joking his wife had ‘chosen the wrong foreigner’ as she held hands with French man Fred.

It is understood the Italian chef was secretly ditched from Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip after refusing to sign a morality clause in his contract that would have allowed ITV to sack him if his behaviour on set was problematic.

While Fred continues to show support for his pal Gino, Gordon Ramsay has stayed silent amid the furore. 

Hints that their relationship was not all that it seemed date back to 2019 when Gordon made no secret of his fury that his then-teenage daughter Tilly was dating his co-star’s son Luciano. 

Both 17 at the time, the young lovebirds made headlines after meeting on the set of their fathers’ joint ITV food show, Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip, with the foul mouthed British chef branding the relationship a ‘nightmare’.

His reservations are now thrown into a whole new light after the treasured friendship between the two men soured in recent months, with Gordon even accused of ‘throwing Gino under the bus’ as he battles to save his reputation.
