Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix Cut Ties with Gino D’Acampo Amid Explosive Scandal – Issue Silent Social Media ‘Punishment’
The world of celebrity chefs has been rocked by controversy as Gino D’Acampo faces multiple disturbing allegations spanning over a decade. While the Italian TV star, known for his cheeky persona, vehemently denies the claims, his former co-stars and longtime friends—Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix—have taken a telling step back, issuing what many see as a silent but firm social media punishment.
The Fall of a Trio: What Happened to Gordon, Gino & Fred?
For years, the dynamic trio of Gordon, Gino, and Fred entertained audiences with their globetrotting adventures on the hit ITV show Gordon, Gino & Fred’s Road Trip. Their infectious chemistry, unfiltered banter, and love for food made them one of the most popular on-screen partnerships in recent memory.

However, cracks began to show in 2023 when Gino abruptly quit the show, citing contract disputes. At the time, he reassured fans that the decision had “nothing to do” with Gordon or Fred, emphasizing that their friendship remained intact.
“Contracts start to become very complicated and very stressful,” Gino stated in his departure video. “I personally value my friendship with Gordon and Fred so much that I would rather the friendship than arguments over contracts.”
But now, with serious allegations surfacing against Gino, the silence from his former co-stars speaks volumes—was there more to the fallout than just contracts?
Gordon & Fred Break Their Silence – But Not on Gino
While neither Gordon nor Fred has directly addressed the scandal, both suddenly re-emerged on social media after weeks of silence, carefully curating their posts to focus on their own endeavors while making no mention of Gino.
📌 Fred Sirieix, meanwhile, re-shared a post about his work as a founder and trustee of The Right Course, a charity that trains offenders in hospitality to help reduce reoffending rates.
The fact that both men returned to social media at the same time—without a single reference to Gino—has led many fans to interpret this as a deliberate move to distance themselves from their former co-star.
Did Gordon & Fred Know More Than They Let On?
While Gordon and Fred have remained publicly silent on the allegations, their past comments about working with Gino have resurfaced in a new light.
In an interview following Gino’s 2023 departure, Ramsay didn’t hold back about the difficulties of working with him.
“They are great, they are wonderful, fantastic—also incredible pains in the a**es,” Gordon said. “They’re so f**ing lazy, they make me look good!”*
He added that Gino frequently demanded breaks, late starts, and extra luxuries, painting a picture of someone who didn’t take the job seriously.
“An hour in, Gino wants an espresso, or he wants his eyebrows plucked. Ninety minutes in, Fred’s missing his croissant. They don’t work hard.”
At the time, these remarks were taken as friendly ribbing, but in hindsight, could they have been a subtle warning about Gino’s behavior behind the scenes?
The Allegations Against Gino – A Reputation in Ruins?
The accusations against Gino are far from minor. Dozens of individuals have come forward, describing his conduct over the past 12 years as disturbing, inappropriate, and even horrifying.
🚨 One woman, speaking under the pseudonym Hannah, claimed that during a 2011 magazine shoot, Gino made a vulgar and explicit sexual remark in front of an entire crew, leaving her feeling humiliated and horrified.
🚨 Another, identified as Natalie, recalled an unsettling moment when Gino allegedly greeted her at his hotel room door wearing only boxer shorts, before making a crude joke about his private parts.
🚨 A third person, a former crew member, alleged that in 2019, Gino aggressively confronted a young production assistant over an ice cream and threatened him with a graphic comment.
“I was there when Gino said to the runner, ‘If you don’t get me a Cornetto, I will f** your girlfriend,’”* the witness revealed.
These allegations, coupled with claims that at least one production company was aware of multiple complaints yet continued working with Gino, paint a disturbing picture of a toxic workplace environment.
Gino’s Response – Denial & Damage Control
Gino has strongly denied all allegations, calling them “deeply upsetting.”
His legal team has disputed the validity of these claims, arguing that no formal complaints were made at the time and that the accusations are either exaggerated or fabricated.
“This allegation from almost 15 years ago has never, until now, been raised with Mr. D’Acampo,” his lawyers stated. “He does not recall it, nor accept that it happened.”
Despite his firm denials, the scandal has already begun tarnishing his once-flourishing career, with fans questioning whether they will ever see him return to mainstream television.
What’s Next for Gordon, Fred & Gino?
The silent but telling response from Gordon and Fred suggests that their relationship with Gino is over for good. While they may never publicly address the allegations, their social media distancing speaks volumes.

As for Gino, his future remains uncertain. With more alleged victims potentially coming forward, this scandal could become one of the biggest celebrity chef controversies in recent history.
‘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.

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