GINO D’Acampo has been spotted downing a £600 bottle of wine while reuniting with pal Fred Siriex, amid claims of inappropriate behaviour.
TV chef Gino has been accused of “sexually inappropriate”; and “intimidating”; behaviour as dozens came forward with complaints.
There were multiple claims of “unacceptable,” “distressing” and “horrendous” treatment while working with the TV star over more than 12 years, an ITV found.
Gino, 48, has “firmly denied” all the allegations, which he called “deeply upsetting”.
Amid the claims, Gino’s friend and co-star Fred, 53,
, who had remained silent about the investigation into his friend's behaviour, liked a short video of the Italian star meeting fans recently.
And the French maître d'hôtel's move is an indicator that he still considers Gino as his friend following their time together on ITV show Gordon, Gino and Fred's Road Trip.
Now, reuniting for a spot of wine, the TV stars looked in great spirits as they held up glasses of red to the camera.
“Fred’s Wednesday Wine Club,”; penned Gino to his followers, and they showed off the bottle they were enjoying.
It was a La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion 2010, which retails at a whopping £600 a botte.
And the pals certainly looked as though they were enjoying both the wine and each other’s company.
Fans in the comments said how lovely it was to see the pair together, as one person penned: “Very nice to see you both together.”;
A second added: “Nice one for supporting your mate, Fred,”; and a third echoed: “THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN! Looks like a lovely drop of wine there.”;
Fred and Gino enjoyed the wine alongside a plate of fish, with Fred joking that Gino liked a bottle of French wine, while thinking it was initially Italian.
The pair’s friendship is best seen while on Gordon, Gino and Fred's Road Trip.
The programme saw Fred and Gino travelling around various countries alongside as they sampled local cuisine and culture.
However, in 2023,
It was believed relations between the trio had cooled as a result, with Gino citing “contract complications” as his reason for throwing the towel in.
The Italian chef said at the time: “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.”
Now, is ploughing ahead with a brand new show Stateside.
He has signed up to host Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service for the Fox network in the US.
The programme will see Gordon go undercover at some of America's filthiest and dirtiest .
When it was revealed that ITV had cut all ties with , reports emerged that Gordon had raised concerns about his fellow TV chef two weeks prior.
It has since been reported that Gordon’s ‘concerns’ about Gino’s behaviour has led to a ‘fractured’ relationship.
A source said: “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 felt it was disgusting. He wanted to change those ways but then it led to difficulties between them.”;
They continued to tell MailOnline: “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.”;
And the source has continued to say that after Gordon ‘threw Gino under the bus,’ they are no longer on speaking terms.
They’ve also alleged that Team Ramsay said: “We wanted to get him as far away as possible.”;
