Gino D’Acampo has hinted that he could be set to return to screen – after months of controversy following ‘inappropriate behaviour’ allegations.

In a post on social media, the Italian celebrity chef, 48, has teased that he is set to return to screen.

The images showed the TV personality dressed in a navy boiler suit in what appeared to be a car garage.

The TV chef had dark oil patches and dirt across his face was seen taking a drag on a cigarette and looking at a car engine in the shots.

He was also seen looking at the camera screen and discussing scripts in some of the shots.

‘What a fantastic experience in Ireland working on a new series… I can’t wait for you guys to see it… 😎 p.s Happy St Patrick’s Day,’ read the caption of the post on Instagram.

The post was supported by some of his former colleagues including Josie Gibson, who worked with him on This Morning and liked the post.

Celebrity Juice star Leigh Francis aka Keith Lemon, also liked the post, as did John Barrowman who was vocal about his support for the star.

This comes just months after the chef faced controversy as reports emerged that he had made inappropriate comments about his former colleagues.

He has ‘firmly denied’ the allegations, and said they are ‘deeply upsetting’.

In December 2024, D’Acampo was accused of inappropriate behaviour towards a This Morning colleague.

The unnamed woman lodged a complaint to ITV over D’Acampo’s alleged behaviour towards her while she worked with him on the set of This Morning from 2006 to 2011, according to The Sun.

It was then claimed that he ‘thrust his crotch’ at a female staffer while filming on a show with Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix, which D’Acampo denied emphatically.

D’Acampo told MailOnline: ‘I have been completely shocked by, and deny utterly, these awful accusations of sexual harassment and misconduct against me, which are alleged to have taken place years ago during the shooting of Gordon, Gino & Fred.

‘Let me be clear: This did not happen. I take such matters extremely seriously and in particular the suggestion that I have deliberately acted in this improper way against any female employees is deeply upsetting.’

In February, Gino’s former I’m A Celebrity co-star, Kim Woodburn, called him a ‘full-of-himself little pig’ who made vile comments about this penis while they appeared in a TV show together.

The chef has been supported by celebrities including Jeremy Clarkson and Gordon Ramsay, who recently revealed he had reached out to his former co-star.

It has been reported that D’Acampo’s ITV shows have been ‘pulled from schedules’ following the allegations.

It is unclear at this time what this project in Ireland is set to be, but this isn’t the first time the star has worked with cars on screen after appearing on Emission Impossible.

The series was a car-related show starring D’Acampo and Sirieix on an eco-friendly adventure across Austria and Croatia to learn the cost of going green.

The series was axed after two episodes were released in 2024.
