He was secretly dropped from Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip after refusing to sign a morality clause in his contract. the sun reported.

The duo embarked on an eco-friendly tour of Europe in a bid to “go greener” on the new travel show.
Concerned executives have also reportedly put the TV star through a language and behavior course.
A source told the publication: ‘Although Gino is well-liked by some, he has fallen out with many.
He loves to party and, in the end, refused to sign the morality clause in his contract that would keep him on the straight and narrow. This was the final straw and the decision was made to separate us.’
The insider added: “He was quite moody on the set of Emission Impossible and, after an accident on set, the crew offered him therapy because they found the resulting consequences very harsh.”
They claimed that filming stopped after the incident and that Gino was placed on a training course.
The source alleged that Gino has a sporran (the pocket of a kilt) which he calls ‘Justin Beaver’ and which he shows off regularly.
An ITV spokesperson told The Sun: “We made our position clear following the outcome of our KC review last year, following which we said: “We are fully committed to creating an environment where everyone is treated with respect and feels capable of giving what they have. better”.
“Our promise to those we work with is that when a complaint is made or serious concerns are raised, we will always investigate and if we discover that something inappropriate has happened, we will take action.”

They added: ‘We will continue to develop our efforts to give young colleagues the confidence to speak up if they have something to raise.
‘Following the review, we reiterated our expectations and introduced conduct guidelines and standards for on-screen personalities that outline our expectations in terms of behaviour, and we have also previously offered language and behavior training, either directly or through our third-party producers, when applicable. ‘
Last November, Gino was caught with cannabis in his luggage by sniffer dogs while flying to the UK after filming with Gordon and Fred.
Gino was allegedly given a warning and a source reported that he called Gordon and Fred the next day to explain that he had been smoking to relieve his back pain, adding that he was released by the police “without problems.”
It is claimed that Gordon and Fred were angry about the situation, particularly because Gordon has always been vocal about his anti-drug stance.
In March 2023, Gino found himself at the center of complaints from staff who felt “uncomfortable” about his behavior towards them.
The Mail on Sunday understands that employees working on Gordon, Gino & Fred: Road Trip had made their concerns known to producers.
A source said that “some people” who work with him don’t like how he operates both on set and at extracurricular events like farewell parties.
The news followed Gino admitting that he decided to leave the show, saying he doesn’t want “stressful” contract talks to ruin his friendship with his castmates.
Although the complaints are not believed to be a contributing factor in his decision to leave after four series, they have been noted by bosses at Studio Ramsay, the company founded by Gordon Ramsay that produces the show.
