Gino D’Acampo has denied there is any tension between him and his Road Trip co-stars Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix.
The This Morning chef, 46, announced his departure from the travel show due to schedule difficulties, reportedly ‘blindsiding’ Gordon, 56, and the First Dates actress, 51.
Since the departure of the Italian chef, reports have circulated that the trio have been ‘feuding,’ with Fred earlier claiming Gino and Gordon are frequently ‘at loggerheads.’
However, when Susanna Reid and Ed Balls questioned Gino on Tuesday’s Good Morning Britain about the cause for his departure, he assured that everything was OK amongst the three.
Ed gently inquired whether the contractual concerns might be handled, and Gino admitted that there had been several ‘rumours’ about his leaving.
Gino replied: ‘I love the boys. We have a great friendship. So that is not a problem. The problem is contracts. Sometimes they get very overcomplicated.
‘The main [complication] was about the dates, trying to get the dates together. We tried and then we got the date and then they got cancelled.’
Gino continued: ‘And then I thought, “I don’t want to do this any more.” It got too stressful.’
Susanna then questioned Gino if the feud claims were real, implying that Gordon ‘winds you up.’
Gino instantly dismissed the gossip, stating without a moment’s hesitation: ‘No. He’s a good guy.’
Gino also teased supporters that Road Trip wasn’t definitely ‘100% over’ if schedule issues could be worked out.
Announcing his departure from Road Trip on Instagram, Gino previously said: ‘I’ve got a bit of news for you, and the reason I want to tell you is because I don’t want you to read any crap or any wrong information.
‘Last week I decided not to film any more Gordon, Gino and Fred Road Trip, the reason is simple, nothing to do with Gordon and Fred – the friendship is very strong.
‘It’s just because we can’t get the dates together
