Gino D'Acampo Eyes Aussie Life After ITV Exit & Mansion Sale – Is He Making a Permanent Move?
Italian chef Gino D'Acampo is reportedly considering a move to Australia after a series of events including his departure from ITV and the sale of his lavish £4.2 million Cheshire mansion. The news comes amidst ongoing allegations of misconduct levelled against the popular TV personality.
What Happened?
D'Acampo, known for his appearances on shows like 'This Morning' and 'Family Fortunes,' has faced a wave of accusations from former colleagues spanning over a decade. These claims allege sexually inappropriate and “distressing” behaviour. While D'Acampo vehemently denies all allegations, ITV recently confirmed that he will not be returning to their programming. The investigations are ongoing, and the full details remain confidential.
Mansion Sale Fuels Speculation
Adding further fuel to the speculation surrounding his future, D'Acampo recently sold his impressive Cheshire home for a significant sum. The property, boasting multiple bedrooms, a swimming pool, and extensive gardens, was a testament to his success in the UK television industry. The sale has prompted many to wonder if it signals a permanent departure from the country.
Australia Beckons?
Sources close to the chef suggest that Australia is a strong contender for his next chapter. Australia’s vibrant food scene and relaxed lifestyle have long appealed to D'Acampo, and the prospect of a fresh start away from the recent controversies is undoubtedly attractive.
“Gino is exploring his options and Australia is definitely on the table,” a source told The Sun. “He’s always loved the country and the thought of starting anew there is appealing.”
A Career Re-Evaluation
The situation has undoubtedly forced D'Acampo to re-evaluate his career path. While he maintains his innocence, the allegations have had a tangible impact on his professional standing. A move to Australia could offer him a chance to rebuild his brand and reconnect with fans in a new market.
What's Next?
For now, D'Acampo’s plans remain somewhat uncertain. However, the combination of his ITV exit, the sale of his mansion, and the reported interest in Australia paints a picture of a man poised for a significant life change. The ongoing investigations will, of course, play a crucial role in shaping his future prospects.
