As ITV investigates multiple allegations of sexual misconduct against celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo, 

his co-stars Dermot O’Leary and Rochelle Humes have chosen to remain silent about the claims. 

The accusations, which date back more than a decade, involve numerous individuals who have come forward to describe Gino’s actions as “unacceptable,” “distressing,” and “horrendous.” 

Despite the growing controversy, both O’Leary and Humes did not address the situation during their hosting on This Morning, leading to significant public speculation about their silence.

On social media, fans quickly took notice of the lack of comment, 

with many expressing their disbelief and frustration. 

One user on X (formerly Twitter) remarked, “They aren’t gonna talk about Gino..” while another asked, “Are you lot really surprised they didn’t talk about Gino?” Others shared similar sentiments, calling attention to how the situation was being avoided. “It’s funny how they are avoiding to talk about Gino,” one user wrote, with another questioning, “So no talking about Gino then?”

The allegations against Gino D’Acampo first came to light through an ITV investigation and involve claims of inappropriate behavior spanning over 12 years. While some individuals are said to have feared retaliation or repercussions at the time, others have described their experiences as deeply troubling. In response, Gino has strongly denied the accusations, insisting that he has never engaged in behavior that would upset or harm anyone.

In a public statement, Gino addressed the claims, expressing his shock and confusion over the allegations. “I have been told by ITN news that allegations have been made about me acting inappropriately, some dating back over ten years ago. I have never been made aware of these matters previously and the allegations are firmly denied,” he said. He went on to assert, “I would not do anything that I thought would upset or distress anyone. This is simply not in my nature. I do not recognise the version of events being put to me.”

The popular chef also emphasized his longstanding career, explaining that throughout his time in television, he had been supported by senior ITV executives and continued to be commissioned for prime-time programs during the period in question. He further expressed his distress over the accusations, stating, “I am a father, husband and have worked with well over 1,500 people on around 80 productions in my career, which I have been so proud of. I take such matters extremely seriously and the suggestion that I have acted in an improper way is deeply upsetting.”

As the investigation continues, ITV has provided an update on its safeguarding processes and the steps being taken to follow up on the allegations. In an official statement, ITV outlined that it had issued clear Conduct and Standards Guidelines for on-screen personalities in 2024, which reinforced expectations of appropriate behavior. The broadcaster acknowledged the seriousness of the claims, noting that many of them had not been reported at the time they occurred. However, ITV has promised to take action and follow up on those that were not previously raised.

“We can only act where we know that concerns have been raised, and will now be following up on those that had not previously been reported to us. If anyone has experienced or witnessed inappropriate behavior while working on an ITV show, we encourage them to raise their concerns with us either directly or through our confidential speaking-up hotline Safecall,” the statement read.

Despite the ongoing investigation, it remains unclear why Dermot O’Leary and Rochelle Humes have refrained from publicly addressing the allegations during their This Morning broadcasts. The silence has raised questions among viewers, who were expecting some form of comment or discussion, particularly given the gravity of the situation. As high-profile figures on the same network, many have wondered whether their reluctance to speak out stems from the ongoing investigation or other personal and professional factors.

As the investigation into Gino D’Acampo’s alleged behavior continues, the public’s reaction to the lack of comment from O’Leary and Humes will likely persist. The broader conversation surrounding accountability in the entertainment industry, especially when it comes to safeguarding those who work behind the scenes, is far from over. Whether ITV will make further statements or take additional action remains to be seen, but the allegations against D’Acampo continue to stir debate among fans and industry insiders alike.

For now, the silence of Dermot O’Leary and Rochelle Humes adds an extra layer of intrigue to a case that has already drawn significant attention. It will be interesting to see whether they address the situation in the future or whether the investigation will lead to more revelations in the weeks to come.
