Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix break social media cover amid Gino D’Acampo allegations after refusing to join the chef on ITV show after five-year partnership

Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix broke their social media cover amid the allegations against their former co-star Gino D’Acampo.

The Italian TV star, 48, known for his cheeky on-screen persona, is now at the centre of claims from dozens of people who describe his alleged conduct over the past 12 years as ‘distressing,’ ‘unacceptable,’ and even ‘horrendous’ – which he denies.

And on Friday, Gordon and Fred returned to Instagram to share a slew of snaps, but continue to stay silence in addressing any allegations surrounding Gino.

Taking to their respective Stories, Gordon documented his dinner out at Pizzeria Bianco while Fred posted about his recent work.

Gordon showed his support for the Italian joint as he shared a picture of himself broadly smiling alongside the delighted chefs.

Fred re-shared a pH๏τograph of himself working as a founder and trustee of The Right Course – which trains offenders in hospitality in a bid to reduce reoffending.

For a time, celebrity chefs Gordan, Fred and Gino appeared to be the best of friends, travelling around Europe together for their hit ITV show Gordon, Gino and Fred’s Road Trip.

Gino walked away from the show in 2023 over what he claimed were ‘contract complications’ and the relationship appears to have cooled dramatically since. 

Posting on Instagram at the time, he said: ‘I decided not to film any more Gordon, Gino and Fred Road trips. The reason is very simple – nothing to do with Gordon or Fred, the friendship is very strong’.

He added: ‘Because contracts start to become very complicated and very stressful, I personally value the friendship with Gordon and Fred so much that I would rather the friendship than arguments with the contract.

‘So I have decided not to do it anymore because I want to be friends with the boys for many, many years ahead.’

Gordon, Gino and Fred’s Road Trip began in 2018, and the first season saw the trio exploring their native homelands of Italy, France and Scotland. 

In 2020, they headed to America followed by a trip to Greece in 2021 and then Spain in 2023 – as well as finding time for three Christmas specials. 

However, The Sun reported that an ‘ITV insider’ said that the split actually came due to a series of demands made by Gino to the production company Studio Ramsay, of which Gordon Ramsay is the co-founder and CEO.

The insider reportedly said: ‘Contrary to popular belief, the row wasn’t over money — all three men get paid exactly the same.

‘Instead, Gino, who loves a party, wanted all sorts of caveats put into his contract around working hours so that he could effectively stay up late and have a bit of a lie-in before filming. He doesn’t like early starts — and made that clear.

‘He also didn’t want to work more than six months of the year which, given the тιԍнт schedules they all have, was never going to be practical.’

In the immediate aftermath of Gino’s departure, Gordon voiced his frustrations with his co-stars, telling Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews’ podcast Big Fish that they made him ‘look good’ with their nonchalant atтιтudes.

The Hell’s Kitchen star said: ‘They are great, they are wonderful, fantastic, incredible pain in the ar**s. They’re so f***ing lazy, they make me look good.

‘An hour in Gino wants an espresso, or he wants his eyebrows plucked, ninety minutes in, Fred’s missing his croissant and his eyeliner.

He added: ‘So we do get on, but three or four days in it’s like, “Move over, I want more room in the bed”, or, “Can we have a break?” They don’t work hard.”‘

The original Road Trip show was made by Gordon’s production company Studio Ramsay – but the 2024 spin-off show Gino & Fred: Emission Impossible was made by Betty TV, part of the Objective Media Group.

In an interview with The Sun in October 2024, Fred sought to downplay any talk of a ‘rift’ between Gordon and the remaining duo.  

He said: ‘Gordon is extremely busy. I don’t know if you’ve seen his Instagram and social media but he’s opening restaurant after restaurant after restaurant. 

‘He also has two very young children. There’s Oscar who is five-years-old, and Jesse who is ten months. So he really has his hands full, you know?’

He added: ‘In terms of travelling, he’s already got so many shows in America.

‘He just couldn’t make the time. And we love travelling and we said to him “Well, look, we’re going and when you want to join us, join us, and we’ll go around and we’ll have some fun.”‘

The show received a barrage of unimpressed reviews on social media from viewers who lambasted the eco framing of the show and pined for Gordon’s on-screen charisma. 

Many fans of the show took to social media to express their irritation with the duo’s foul-mouthed conversations and some fans of the original show lamented that Gordon had decided not to take part.

Fans took to X to complain about the show, writing: ‘#EmissionImpossible what a load of b******s. Sold their souls.

Another user said: ‘No wonder Gordon swerved this one. Did Bill Gates fund the making of it? #EmissionImpossible #ginoandfred

While a third added: ‘No wonder @GordonRamsay didn’t join gino and fred I switched it off once the word methane and cows were mentioned. Total bullsнιт.’

The new array of allegations against Gino range over a 12-year period.  

The Italian TV star, known for his cheeky on-screen persona, is now at the centre of claims from dozens of people who describe his alleged conduct over the past 12 years as ‘distressing,’ ‘unacceptable,’ and even ‘horrendous.’

According to ITV News, at least one production company was aware of repeated complaints from staff members about Gino’s behaviour – yet continued to work with him on further TV projects.

One woman, given the pseudonym Hannah, told ITV News Correspondent Sejal Karia about a disturbing moment during a magazine shoot in 2011.

She alleges that, in front of an entire crew, Gino made an explicit Sєxual comment, telling her he would ‘like to turn me over and f*** me up the a*** against the kitchen counter,’ leaving her feeling humiliated.

The ITV programme returned to screens on December 2024 with another instalment and followed the chef and celebrity maître d' as they embarked on an eco-friendly road trip to explore the cuisine and cooking habits of Austria and Croatia - but minus Gordon Ramsay

‘I remember a ripple of laughter,’ she recalled, while others ‘looked nervously into their cups of tea.’

Hannah said the incident left her feeling ‘horror’ and ‘shock’ but admitted she was not surprised no one intervened.

Gino has firmly denied all allegations, calling them ‘deeply upsetting.’ 

His legal team said: ‘This allegation from almost 15 years ago has never, until now via a media request, been raised or put to Mr D’Acampo. He does not recall it, nor accept that it happened.’

Another woman, given the pseudonym Natalie, recounted an unsettling experience while briefing Gino for a location shoot.

‘He opened the door in his boxer shorts, nothing else,’ she claimed.

‘Then he jumped on the bed, put his leg up and made a crude reference to his private parts, joking about their size.’

Natalie described feeling ‘disgusted’ and accused the TV chef of using his position to behave inappropriately.

Gino’s legal team strongly refuted this version of events, stating: ‘To his knowledge, no such allegations have been made against him in relation to ‘Gino’s Italian Express’.

‘This is the first time – six years later – that he has been informed of these alleged incidents, which he categorically denies.’

In yet another claim, a former colleague alleged that in 2019, Gino aggressively confronted a young crew member over an ice cream.

‘I was present when Gino said to the runner, ‘If you don’t get me a Cornetto, I will f*** your girlfriend,’ the woman told ITV News.

Another crew member who witnessed the incident said the remark had ‘stuck in my head for years.’

Gordon Ramsay’s representatives did not respond to a request for a comment.
