Naples is a shit hole. My parents stopped there on a cruise for a trip to Pompeii and they wont let you get off the bus and lock all the doors until your out of the city because it’s so rough and the crime rate is so high. The Maffia pretty much run it, there is rubbish everywhere and it’s covered in graffiti.

Top story on ITV tonight - been going on for years it seems. Yes the New Greg Wallace.

 

[ChastityDingle]

Was celebrity juice itv as well? ITV definitely encouraged the double entendres, flirting and crudeness in an apparently daytime family show… I can’t believe everyone found it hilarious he showed his arse at that time of the morning, and when philth and holly turned up still drunk fuck the lot of them. Don’t get me started on loose women either that’s a cess pit and always has been (and full of has beens and lecherous old women)

On a similar note, Stephen Mulhern on Dancing on Ice, at the weekend, made reference to golden showers apparently.
I fast forward through everything he and the equally painful Holly Willoughby say. But I unfortunately did catch one moment of their 'banter' later on when she was talking about one of the upcoming routines and said time to get your pom-poms out, he said oh it's a bit cold for that. And the two of them sniggered. Gobshites, the pair of them. It's supposed to be a family show, given that it's broadcast at 6.30 pm.

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?

 

[MrsBsDayOff]

His food on tv always looked rubbish to me. He was also trying too hard to play to Italian stereotypes

 

[Deb788]

So glad this isn't a rave thread!

I has the misfortune of being forced to watch an episode of Celebrity Juice once and I was embarrassed at just how immature he is.

Ok they were all immature and Keith Lemon was just as bad but, I dunno, in my national prejudice I expected him to have some degree of dignity and sophistication about him, being an Italian.

No one has ever made me as inexplicably mad as this prick . I have no idea how people don't see through him and his fake "mispronunciation" of thing to make them sexual or crude . He's just an awful person and loves himself . About as Italian as an Eccles cake aswell. I'm even more mad that Gordon and Fred are friends with him as I love them.

His family are all crooks aren’t they? I haven’t actually looked into it but my mum’s friend is Italian and said his family were pretty dodgy and well known for the wrong reasons in Italy.

 

[Okivia2020]

I think ITV is a sinking ship to be honest. The only thing I really watch is Corrie and that has been awful lately and so many people leaving seems a bit suspect

 

[femmegirly]

I remember watching a program called ' grumpy old men ' on BBC 2 years ago. Different men talking all things from stuff that annoyed them to things they like . He was on he said, he had seen a girl in her school uniform at a bus stop and ' I would have done time for her ' . Since then I could watch him at all I've told anyone who mentioned him .

It was Grouchy Young Men - watched it recently on Apple TV and his comments haven’t been edited out. They will be soon though!

 

[lilyannrose]

Not a surprise, he's such a fake to me and I always thought he got away with his criminal past too easily. Not that I don't believe in rehabilitation but in his case what he did had a very swept under the rug feel about it.

 

[Fluctuate]

Sadly I’m totally unsurprised by these dreadful revelations. I’ve never been able to stand him. He gives me the ick and has always come across as a slimey, cocky, arrogant little tosser.

Another ITV wrong ‘un - bet his bosses have been covering up for him for years.

Same. He used to say the similar things on camera, it's no surprise he amped it up off camera.

 

[rivermonster]

Remember when he cooked on This Morning nude? Vile

We went into a hotel in Leeds that had his restaurant inside and I said to my friend that he cooked on TM just wearing just a pinny with his bum showing and she laughed and said I was telling porkies. I had to find an internet pic before she would believe me. Just sent her the link to ITV and see what she has to say about that as she thinks he is wonderful. I couldn't believe how many women of a certain age were queing up to see him at a cookery show we went to.

 

[Willow9999]

Did he ever apologise? I believe Paul Young had some really personal / important items stolen, as well as valuables. I think - in connection to his late wife?
It’s a despicable thing to do to others. I have never had my home broken in to, but I know from others how devastating it is.

It was a recording of some music he made that had her voice on. Truly irreplaceable.
I remember Paul Young saying he can forward and apologied for the burglary years later out of the blue. A short while later it was announced he was doing I’m a Celebrity and the cynical nature of his so called remorse became clear. Utter wanker.

 

[rivermonster]

I hate Loose Women too. If fellas had a show like that it would likely be called out!

Gino’s behaviour was probly encouraged at ITV and now it’s no longer acceptable behaviour he is ousted and it’s all his fault.

Sunetra called them out yesterday for something one of them said and said that if it was a man who said that there would be hell to pay (or similar) I was impressed with her saying that.
She was on the panel.

 

[superhanscrack]

Not just you. And another exaggerated accent. Total fake.

Me too
Very insincere … whereas I don’t mind the barman on first dates… women’s intuition maybe

 

[Gym&Tonic]

I agree ITV have always encouraged and protected him, but for some reason he’s now been chucked under a bus. There’s either something far worse they’re hiding or its a deflection tactic.

 

[Eirawen]

His accent is so false and OTT, years ago there was a comedy called Allo Allo that featured an Italian army officer with an OTT accent and who played it as a typical Italian stereotype Gino reminds me off him, he is am insult to the Italian people.

 

[Pulltheotherone]

He’s such a wanker.

 

[shellie]

I saw lots of YouTube comments saying it’s “snowflakes” who cant take a joke, it’s banter etc
There’s no hope for some people. One even said he’s a real life joey tribianni ffs

Not just on YT and, unsurprisingly, mostly by men, but there are women defending him as well, saying that's all it is—banter. One woman even claimed to have worked in a factory for years and heard the ass thing more than once and insinuated as she was fine with it; everyone should be, and if you aren't, then you are the one with the problem.

Brave of Fred to back him in public.

That will massively backfire on Fred.
There was an article in the DM this morning about Gordon Ramsay having complained about Gino a couple of years back.
Apparently the pair fell out because Gordon flagged Gino’s behaviour.
That may be true, but the whole article read like a PR piece placed by Gordon’s team to put as much distance between him and Gino as possible.
