ITV Drops Gino D'Acampo Amid Inappropriate Behaviour Allegations

Gino D’Acampo faces serious allegations of inappropriate and intimidating behavior spanning more than 12 years, as reported by ITV News, which has interviewed over 40 individuals claiming to have witnessed or experienced misconduct. The allegations include sexualized comments and aggressive language, leading ITV to pull all of his shows from future schedules and cancel the new series of Family Fortunes, which was set for early 2025. D'Acampo has firmly denied the claims, describing them as deeply upsetting, and has stated he was previously unaware of any such allegations. Insiders suggest that ITV's swift action follows recent scandals involving other TV personalities, indicating a heightened sensitivity to misconduct claims. Many of the alleged victims expressed disappointment over D'Acampo's response and noted the fear they felt in coming forward due to their self-employed status. The situation has raised questions about the culture of silence surrounding inappropriate behavior in the television industry.
