Renowned TV chef Gordon Ramsay was reportedly less than pleased when he learned that his daughter,
Tilly Ramsay, had been romantically linked to Luciano D’Acampo, the son of fellow celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo.
The revelation came directly from Gino himself during a past appearance on This Morning, where he playfully admitted that he enjoyed knowing the relationship irritated Ramsay.
Gino D’Acampo Delights in Teasing Gordon Ramsay
During his chat with then-hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, Gino revealed that he had no issue with his son’s love life, stating, “It’s none of my business.”
However, he couldn’t resist adding, “It’s a great pleasure to know that my son is dating Gordon’s daughter. Just to annoy him, just to really annoy him.”
Rumors about Tilly and Luciano dating first surfaced in 2019 after the pair reportedly met on the set of Gordon, Gino & Fred: Road Trip, an ITV travel and cooking series featuring Ramsay, D’Acampo, and First Dates maître d’ Fred Sirieix.
Although neither Tilly nor Luciano publicly confirmed the romance, their connection sparked widespread media interest, with fans curious about how Ramsay truly felt about the relationship. Given his famously fiery personality, it’s easy to imagine why Gino found the situation amusing.
Tilly Ramsay’s Flourishing Career
Much like her father, Tilly Ramsay has carved out a name for herself in the culinary and entertainment industries. She has been a regular face on television, fronting her CBBC show Matilda and The Ramsay Bunch since 2015, which follows her family’s adventures while she showcases her cooking skills.
Beyond television, she also ventured into publishing, releasing Tilly’s Kitchen Takeover, a cookbook that introduces young food enthusiasts to fun and easy recipes. Her passion for cooking and entertaining mirrors that of her father, but she has established her own identity rather than simply riding on the coattails of the Ramsay legacy.
Gino and Gordon’s Reported Tensions on Set
Aside from their children’s rumored romance, Gordon Ramsay and Gino D’Acampo’s professional relationship has also made headlines.
D’Acampo’s unexpected departure from Gordon, Gino & Fred: Road Trip led to speculation about tensions behind the scenes. Addressing these rumors, Gino later clarified that scheduling conflicts were a major factor in his decision to step away.
Speaking on Heart Radio, he explained, “We were supposed to film next month in May, and at the end of January, they told us we’re no longer filming in May—it’s probably going to be October and November.”
He went on to say, “This is the second time it’s happened in a year. So I said, ‘We can’t do that because everybody has a block of dates, we need to work, we need to support our family.’”
Gino further revealed that the demands of the show had become increasingly overwhelming, and he preferred to walk away rather than risk damaging his close friendship with Ramsay and Sirieix. “The contract was also getting bigger and more stressful, so I thought, let me get out of this before the friendship is going to suffer. I’d rather have the friendship and not have the show,” he stated.
Gino D’Acampo Faces Serious Allegations
Despite his lighthearted banter about annoying Ramsay, Gino D’Acampo is currently facing serious allegations of sexual misconduct spanning over two decades. Multiple individuals have reportedly come forward with claims, which the Italian chef has firmly denied, calling them “deeply upsetting.”
Studio Ramsay, the production company behind Gino’s Italian Family Adventure and Gordon, Gino & Fred: Road Trip, has also addressed the situation in a statement:
“Studio Ramsay have not worked on a series with Gino D’Acampo since 2022. We take all allegations of inappropriate behavior and workplace misconduct seriously, promptly investigate, and take appropriate remedial action when warranted.”
What’s Next for Gordon, Gino, and Their Families?
While Gino D’Acampo’s future in television remains uncertain amid the allegations, Gordon Ramsay continues to expand his culinary empire and television career. Meanwhile, Tilly Ramsay is thriving as an independent media personality, continuing to make a name for herself in the entertainment world.
As for whether Ramsay has truly come to terms with the idea of his daughter dating Gino’s son? That remains a mystery—but if the past is any indication, Gino will likely continue to enjoy winding him up about it.
