Gino D’Acampo caused chaos during his TV interview on Wednesday’s Loose Women.
The 47-year-old celebrity chef had a lively discussion with panelists Christine Lampard, Myleene Klass, Denise Welch and Kelle Bryan when he admitted he “hated kids.”
Gino shares two sons Luciano, 22, Rocco, 19, and daughter Mia, 12, with his beloved wife Jessica, married since 2002.
Although the Italian cook had three children of his own, Gino still shared his dislike of young people – and was even applauded by the audience.
He said: “I don’t really like children, can I say that? I’m one of those parents who, when I say I don’t like children, don’t think I see a child and then hit them.
Gino D’Acampo, 47, caused chaos during his TV interview on Loose Women on Wednesday.
The celebrity chef was involved in a heated discussion with panellists Christine Lampard, Myleene Klass, Denise Welch and Kelle Bryan when he admitted he “hates kids”.
“I mean, I don’t like doing kid stuff. My daughter is 12 years old today. I don’t like glitter and finger paint. There’s stuff everywhere and I’m like, “I don’t really want to do that.” I wasn’t born to do this!
“The only difference is that I actually say it. I said to my wife: “I don’t want to do this, it’s boring, I have nothing to say to this child.”
He added: “I like shopping, I take them to buy things, fun things. Who the hell likes glitter, and all it produces is rubbish. It’s not like I can say “what a beautiful painting.” No, I’m going to say what the hell is that, it’s bullshit. Tell them the truth!
While the audience applauded Gino and simply agreed with everything he said, the panelists hilariously told the audience to stop agreeing with him.
Gino added: “No! It’s because they know the truth! Tell them the truth!
My wife puts all the pictures in her office and I come in and say “this is rubbish, what is this?”
His TV appearance comes after news broke that he was unable to pay his former staff £5 million in taxes after his pasta chain was liquidated.13217749

Previous accounts showed 49 creditors had not been paid. £4.8 million is owed to trade creditors, £113,975 to HMRC and £53,304 to staff, the Mirror reports.
In a final account to creditors and shareholders, the company said: “Overall, I can confirm that the liquidation achievements are insufficient to declare a dividend to unsecured creditors after meeting the costs of the proceedings.
