Gino D’Acampo has returned to social media amid the allegations of sexually inappropriate behaviour against him.
The Italian chef was reportedly discreetly fired from Gordon, Gino, and Fred: Road Trip because he refused to sign a contract that included a morals clause.
In the show, Chefs Gordon Ramsay, Gino D’Acampo, and maître d’hôtel Fred Sirieix travel to several nations and towns to learn about the local way of life and food.
A morality clause, sometimes referred to as a morals clause, is a condition in a contract that compels a party or individual to follow particular behavioural guidelines.
If one of the parties acts in a way that harms the other party’s reputation or image, the other party has the right to end the contract.
Gino “firmly” denied the “over 40” accusations and stated he “would not do anything that I thought would upset or distress anyone” in a statement to ITV News.
He added: “I am a father, husband… the suggestion that I have acted in an improper way against is deeply upsetting.”
Now, Gino has made his return to Instagram to promote his latest cookbook.
Sharing a video of a recipe, the chef is in his kitchen making honey-glazed cod with lemon and garlic.
The former ITV star shared the steps to make the dish.
The post was captioned: “Perfect recipe for Valentine’s Day… Super Easy & Super Tasty.”
Last week, a source has told the MailOnline Gino has “instructed his legal team to fight the allegations with ‘whatever it takes’ as he gears up for a fight to clear his name.”
The TV presenter has reportedly continued to insist to his friends and family that the allegations are untrue – further claiming he will still have a career.
The source continued to claim Gino has vowed to “never work with ITV again,” following reports the broadcaster has pulled his shows from the schedule.
The insider added the celebrity chef is set to “jet to the US later next week to work on a TV project.”
