Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were back on tenterhooks as Gino D'Acampo was at risk of causing more havoc on This Morning. The Italian chef was back on the ITV daytime show on Tuesday (November 8) but he wasn't just back in the kitchen.
After previous appearances in the same role, Gino was back for a fresh 'agony uncle' segment. And it didn't appear to get off to the best of starts as the 46-year-old misunderstood the title and thought Holly and Phillip were calling him 'ugly'.
After getting that cleared up, it was time to move on with some of the viewers' queries but it didn't take long for things to take a turn. One woman called Gemma phoned in for some advice as she explained that her wedding day was coming up in two weeks, but she was experiencing nerves in the lead-up to the big occasion.
She said: "I’m just a little bit nervous, a little bit stressed. I’m just wondering how you would cope with it." Gino was quite sympathetic towards Gemma and told her nerves were completely normal.
"Do what you want to do, stop listening to people around you, and relax," he went on to advise. "Find something that makes you relax. Anything will do. I’ve got an idea…" While Gino pondered whether he could say what he wanted to say, Holly, 41, interjected to ask: "A long walk?"
"I was thinking something different, but if you want to go for a long walk, you go for a long walk,’ Gino replied leaving Holly and Phillip wondering what it was he was going to say. But instead of leaving it there, Gino leaned towards and attempted to ask quietly: "Can you say the word masturbate?"
Phillip, 60, shook his head with a disapproving look on his face at the side while Gino took their reaction and asked again: "No, you can’t say that?" Phillip replied: "No, don’t say that," before Gino returned to the call and took Holly's advice and said: "Go for a long walk Gemma! Long walk will do the trick."
The phone-in came after Gino appeared to upset viewers with a comment about the latest dish he was whipping up in the kitchen. As well as taking calls, the chef was in the studio to make an "Italian chicken cordon bleu."
"I'm going to be honest with you, apart from my Fred Sirieix I don't like French people," he jokingly said. The comment caught Phillip off guard as he coughed back his food, covering his mouth with his hand. But the comment didn't appear to go down well with viewers who shared their thoughts on social media.
