This Morning viewers shocked at Gino D’Acampo’s X-rated comment as Phillip Schofield is forced to interrupt

THIS Morning viewers were taken aback watching today’s episode, during Gino D’Acampo’s segment.

It came as Gino delved into his latest Italian adventure on the show, as viewers and Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield watched along.

But Phillip was forced to interrupt as the 46-year-old Italian chef made an X-rated mistake.

As Gino discussed wine with an expert, he said: “What I really want to know is why Sardinian cork is so special. And how many corks do you produce a day?”

To which the sommelier replied: “More or less, we produce two million corks.”

Before they could get any further however, 60-year-old Phillip jumped in as Gino mistakenly pronounced Cork as c***.

Phillip said: “No, no, no, stop! He’s at a cork factory,” as he put a stress on the word cork.

Adding: “It’s cork! A wine cork factory in Sardinia. There’s more from Gino and his questionable pronunciation.”

Fans were quick to pick up the hilarious faux-pas too, with one person writing: “Honestly who let Gino do a feature on cork.”

Another added: “Lots of innuendos this morning,” and a third said: “What on earth is Gino saying?”

Gino is famed for his hilarious innuendos on This Morning, and his recent Cork mistake is one of many.

After shooting to fame on This Morning, the Italian’s been swearing and dropping innuendos on a string of hit shows on the pretence he doesn’t understand British culture.

But instead of being axed from daytime telly, the TV chef stars in a string of prime time ITV shows.

Opening up on his blunders, Gino has previously said: “There is a fine line on television and I think I walk the line. I’ve been walking that fine line for the last ten to 15 years.

"Have I ever crossed the line? I don’t think so because otherwise, I would’ve got fired.

“It’s a very dangerous way the way I do it.

"But I can get away with the accent and because I’m Gino and everybody knows me for a long time, I can get away with many things that someone else could not get away with it.

“There is this cancel culture, which everybody’s freaking out about.

"What they should do is instead of fighting the cancel culture is the way I do it: ‘I don’t care what you’ve got to say. That’s what I think. That’s the way I live my life.’”
