Uncomfortable exchange between Kim Woodburn and Gino D’Acampo resurfaces after she slammed the chef’s conduct on I’m A Celebrity amid claims of ‘sexually inappropriate behaviour’

An uncomfortable moment between Kim Woodburn and Gino D’Acampo has resurfaced after she slammed the chef amid a string of allegations against him.

Gino, 48, has been rocked by allegations of sexually inappropriate and intimidating behaviour over a 12-year period – claims which he denies.

After the allegations emerged, Kim, 82, slammed under-fire Gino D’Acampo over his ‘disgusting’ behaviour during their time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.

Following her claims that Gino ‘rubbed his penis through his shorts’ as he struggled being away from his wife, an awkward video from their time on the ITV show has resurfaced.

During the clip, Gino was in charge of reading out a list while the group all tried to solve a tricky word game.

But after an amusing gaffe that read ‘Kim on the razor’, the Loose Women star was quick to point out she has ‘never used a razor in her entire life’.

‘I told you to behave yourself,’ Gino then replied but at that point, Kim seemed to be uncomfortable with the chef ‘touching his genitals’.

However, the former This Morning star rolled his eyes before mumbling: ‘Then tell me where should I put my hand.’

Kim then awkwardly hit back with: ‘Well not on your d****y. Stick it in your pocket!’

Gino had a ready answer as he replied: ‘If I put it in my pocket then you are going to say that I play with myself.’

‘Just put it out,’ Kim replied stiffly as she appeared unimpressed by his behaviour.

Gino was crowned King of the Jungle after his time on the series, while Kim came in as a runner-up.

Gino is now at the centre of a string of allegations of sexually inappropriate and intimidating behaviour, which the chef has denied.

In response to all allegations, Gino said: ‘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.

‘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. 

‘Not only have these allegations never been raised with me before, I have been repeatedly supported by executives at the highest level and was commissioned on prime-time programmes during the period in which it is now suggested I was acting inappropriately.’

However on Friday night, Kim claimed the cookery star ‘rubbed his penis through his shorts’ as he struggled being away from his wife as she reflected on their time on I’m A Celebrity together.

She also alleged that his foul-mouthed outbursts forced producers to march him out of the set, before ITV’s ‘good edit’ which led to his win.  

She told The Sun: ‘He used to stand over a log and stroke his penis area over his shorts. 

‘He’d talk to his penis saying, ”I know you haven’t had any sex, but when you get out of here, you will get so much”.

‘He would say his penis was being deprived and neglected, and his wife would give him a good seeing to when he got home. We would all just turn away. 

‘It made me uncomfortable because it was vile and crude. It’s not appropriate to do that in front of women. But Gino thinks he can do what he wants.’

Kim claimed the chef treated the crew ‘like garbage’ and after calling one crew member a ‘f***ing bastard’ and ‘c***’ refused to leave the set. 

She said: ‘We had to stop filming while two men took him by the arm and forced him off the set back to the camp. They should have thrown him off the show. Ghastly it was’.

MailOnline have contacted Gino’s reps for comment. ITV declined to comment.  

Gino’s TV shows have been removed from the ITV schedule because of the claims.

One woman involved, known as ‘Hannah’, told ITV News: ‘It is all very disappointing, he could have come out and said he was really sorry, that he was going to take some time out and reflect on what had happened and what he’s been accused of. 

‘But what he should have said initially that he was sorry that he has hurt all these people. It is classic bully behaviour.’

Dozens of people described their experience of working with the chef as ‘unacceptable,’ ‘distressing’ and even ‘horrendous’, according to the investigation.

She said ‘He used to stand over a log and stroke his penis area over his shorts. He’d talk to his penis saying, ‘I know you haven’t had any sex, but when you get out of here, you will get so much’

Among the allegations are that Gino described a young woman’s breasts as ‘perfect’ and ‘like a mouthful’, and that he threatened to have sex with a colleague’s girlfriend if she did not bring him an ice cream. 

At least one production company was reportedly aware of complaints about the Italian star’s behaviour – yet continued to work with him on further TV projects.

The chef has appeared on shows including ITV’s Family Fortunes and recently Gino and Fred: Emission Impossible with Fred Sirieix.

On Saturday, Fred posted on social media for the first time since the allegations against Gino were revealed, uploading a video about his new kitchen, however he remained silent on the accusations against his co-star.

Gordon Ramsay – who has starred alongside both Gino and Fred in a string of ITV shows – has also returned to social media but remained silent on the claims.

One woman told the investigation that Gino made a vulgar sexual comment towards her during a magazine shoot in 2011.

She claims the celebrity chef said he would like ‘like to turn me over and f*** me up the a*** against the kitchen counter’ in front of the entire crew.

The woman said there were laughs from other employees when he made the comment and she was left feeling humiliated.

ITV News said it has spoken to ‘over 40 people’ during its investigation, all of whom had either witnessed or experienced alleged inappropriate or intimidating behaviour by the celebrity chef

‘I remember a ripple of laughter,’ she recalled, while others ‘looked nervously into their cups of tea’.

She said the incident left her feeling ‘horror’ and ‘shock’ but admitted she was not surprised nobody intervened.

She said the comment was ‘aggressive’ and she saw it as ‘some kind of powerplay’.

Gino’s legal team firmly denied the allegation.

They said: ‘This allegation from almost 15 years ago has never, until now via a media request, been raised or put to Mr D’Acampo.

‘He does not recall it, nor accept that it happened.’
