For years, Gordon Ramsay and Gino D’Acampo appeared to be the ultimate on-screen duo – chefs with big personalities, a sense of humour and a knack for entertaining audiences. But, behind the scenes, it seems their relationship was far from perfect.
Now, as Gino faces allegations of inappropriate behaviour, sources claim that Gordon distanced himself from his former friend years ago, after raising concerns about his behaviour.

Gordon Ramsay ‘horrified’ by Gino D’Acampo’s behaviour
A source close to Gordon claims the 58-year-old TV chef was appalled by what he witnessed during filming of Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip, which also starred Fred Sirieix.
“Gordon was horrified with what had gone on and felt it was time to step in and stop it. He has three daughters and a wife, Tana, who he absolutely adores, and he felt it was disgusting,” the source alleged to MailOnline.
The source added that Gordon tried to change Gino‘s behaviour. However, when that proved difficult, their friendship ultimately collapsed.
He saw things he didn’t think were okay, so he spoke up. That was that – friendship over.
“Gordon found there was a lot of unacceptable behaviour going on, he saw things he didn’t think were okay, so he spoke up. That was that – friendship over.”
Two years after their friendship broke down, sources now claim Gordon wants nothing to do with Gino.
“We wanted to get him as far away as possible,” one insider claimed.
Reports suggest that even Gordon’s production company, Studio Ramsay, had issues with D’Acampo.
Employees allegedly complained about his behaviour – including claims that he exposed himself on set and made crude comments.
This led ITV to hold a meeting about his conduct in 2021.
