- Gino D'Acampo's five remaining restaurants, previously facing closure due to mounting debt, have been saved.
- Upmarket Leisure Ltd, the restaurant's owner, was bought out of administration in a £5m deal, securing over 400 jobs.
- This comes after allegations of inappropriate behaviour by D'Acampo towards women on the set of his ITV cooking show, claims he denies.
- Restaurant staff had reported delayed wage payments, but a spokesperson confirmed all employees were paid upon completion of the deal.
- D'Acampo recently announced his return to television with a new series filmed in Ireland, despite ITV previously stating it had no plans to rehire him after the allegations surfaced.
