Similar to Gregggggggg Wallace, I could never stand this creep, without actually knowing why. Couldn't watch anything he was on.

Considering he was a criminal before his TV career, this doesn't surprise me. Give a criminal the opportunities he has been given to earn a handsome living, no wonder he gained a power trip and ego.
His food on tv always looked rubbish to me. He was also trying too hard to play to Italian stereotypes
They might as well take every man off the TV at this rate 
I was wondering this too. Glad he’s been exposed, but I wasn’t expecting it to be ITV themselves doing it.
Maybe deflecting from an even bigger scandal?
Guessing ITV want to make it look like they're cleaning up their act. Cuts are being made there left, right and centre. It's probably similar to 'doing the weeding.' Always felt he was a sleazy little oik. The best that can be said is that AFAIK much of what he's said and done in relation to the sexual shenanigans has been in public view.
He also brought cannabis back from Spain when he arrived on Gordon Ramsay's private plane, Gordon wasn't impressed but once again that was brushed under the carpet. He was cautioned and fined for possession.
It's normally the same old rit. Itv do this a lot. How many travel shows do we need, exploring the same places, notably Italy. Italy is a fantastic country, but they constantly churn out travel shows to Italy with different presenters.
It's either Gino, then Gino with Gordon & Fred, then that Italian dancer from Strictly, then Rylan and Judge Rinder, the list goes on. Half the time they aren't even particularly good shows. We'll probably see the same shows once again when the next ITV darling comes along.
Oh please, it doesn't matter when someone comes forward. Some people may never speak out because of fear or shame and because it takes them X amount of years they are lying? No wonder victims stay quiet when people say ridiculous tit like that.
No I certainly do not think that is acceptable. I think I was a bit quick off the mark to defend him. I had only seen a couple of clips with tame comments so I take it all back. It's bloody disgusting that men like him get away with this behaviour.
I don’t want to derail the thread but I have to ask what Derek got up to?
A taster..
So, despite the serial shagging, the coke-snorting and being the man who put the party into Party politics
Interview: Derek Draper - Spin cycle
KATE GARRAWAY rolls her eyes in despair – not for the first time in the past hour – as her husband, Derek Draper, Labour spin doctor-turned-psychoanalyst, suggests that it's time she was at home in bed – preferably with him and indulging in wild sex.

Good, I hope we never see this creep again, he always gave me bad vibes, he’s finished 
Because they've always known and brushed it under the carpet. Now someone's threatening to expose the truth so they're putting it out there first.

I would expect the number to eventually reach triple figures.
I really would not be surprised if it came out his Italian heritage was distant at best. He really went hard on the Italian stereotypes, especially comparing him to someone like Antonio Carluccio or Gennaro Contaldo.
Kim Woodburn has just given him a right tongue lashing in The Sun. She said she can say what she likes, the truth, as she has nothing to lose as her working life is over unlike younger women. You really can't believe what he got away with in I'm a Celeb. it is disgusting and because of ITV not taking him out of there he went on to win it. She and others were furious. I can’t link it but worth a read.
And she told KP straight in the same series .. I love her
bet she’s bloody hard to live with though 
I too always felt a visceral ick whenever he was on tv, just knew he was a fake and a wrongun. I want to know how put on his accent is
