  • Melanie Sykes has claimed Gino D'Acampo was sent to etiquette and media training, but his Italian background was used as an 'excuse'. This Morning star D'Acampo 48, is facing allegations from dozens of people who have worked with him over a 12-year period, with complaints of alleged bullying and sexually inappropriate comments.

The article from Metro discusses the controversy surrounding Gino D'Acampo, an Italian chef known for his appearances on ITV shows like "This Morning" and "Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip." His co-star, Fred Sirieix, has come to his defense, claiming that Gino's behavior, which some might find inappropriate or offensive, is often excused because he is Italian. This cultural stereotype, according to Sirieix, allows Gino to get away with actions or comments that might not be tolerated from others. The article highlights instances where Gino's on-screen antics, like his playful yet sometimes risqué interactions, have sparked debate about cultural perceptions and the boundaries of acceptable behavior in television. Sirieix argues that while Gino's behavior might be seen as part of his charm, it also raises questions about double standards and cultural excuses in the entertainment industry.
