ITV is reportedly slowly dropping Gino D’Acampo amid a series of allegations of inappropriate behaviour.

A morality clause, also known as a morality clause, is a provision within a contract that requires an individual or party to meet certain standards of behavior. The clause gives the other party the right to terminate the contract if the first party behaves in a way that negatively affects the reputation or image of the other party.
The TV star, 48, was also given a language and behavior course by concerned executives. the sun has revealed.
Gino has been accused of being playful, and crew members from his show Emission Impossible with Fred Sirieix were reportedly offered counseling.
A source told the publication: ‘Although Gino is well-liked by some, he has fallen out with many. He loves to party and ultimately refused to sign the morality clause in his contract that would keep him on the straight and narrow. This was the last straw and the decision was made to separate.

The Italian chef is understood to have been secretly dumped by Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip (pictured) after refusing to sign a morality clause in his contract.

MailOnline has contacted representatives from Gino’s and ITV for comment.
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.
‘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.
Meanwhile, the star found himself at the center of complaints from staff who felt “uncomfortable” about his behavior towards them in March 2023.
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.
An insider from the show said: ‘Television teams, collaborators and executives see how Gino behaves. There is a lot of discussion in the industry, which is not ideal.”
While D’Acampo, a father of three, did not respond yesterday to the opportunity to comment on the complaints, a source on set admitted that the allegations could be a “generational issue” and that the 46-year-old considers himself himself as a ‘warm, cheeky Italian’.
They said: ‘Gino has an old school attitude and often thinks he is being funny, when perhaps those who are a little younger than him would have a different opinion.
“There are times where it’s made people uncomfortable, but there’s the whole millennial versus older generation thing going on on TV right now.”
