Gino D'Acampo 'ordered off' ITV Loose Women before being 'cut off' in chaotic appearance on show

Things don't always go smoothly when Gino D'Acampo's around, as This Morning viewers well know. But on Wednesday (September 21), the Italian chef was back in the UK and rather than being on the ITV daytime show, he paid a visit to the Loose Women.

Gino was live on the lunchtime show's panel to chat about his new cookbook. But he caused havoc for today's anchor Jane Moore when he wandered onto the set unannounced way before he was due to sit alongside Jane, Linda Robson, Denise Welch and Brenda Edwards.

The foursome had been chatting about whether they approved of friends and family calling round unannounced when Jane revealed a poll of Loose Women viewers showed that the majority of them were against 'popper-inners'. But as they were about to finish up that part of the show, Gino made a surprise appearance walking on set as the 'uninvited guest'.

Waving her arm at him, Jane shouted: "No, not yet." Gino then asked: "How long do I need to wait?" with Jane firing back: "After the break. Go on! Back out." Returning to address viewers, Jane said into the camera: "Goodness me. Well, as you now know, everyone's favourite TV chef Gino D'Acampo will be here."

Then, during his actual appearance on the programme, the panel and their guest kept talking over each other and as he kept trying to promote his new book, Jane was seemingly shutting him down.

And before the credits on today's show were due to roll, Gino tried to make a special 'announcement' but Jane wasn't having any of it and pointed out the show had to end. So she ended cutting him off while he was speaking. "Lovely to see you and as Gino might have mentioned, his cookbook is out now," Jane said before Gino interrupted to say: "You don't need to say that really, they've got it, Gino's Italy..."

He then went to try and make his 'announcement', adding: "One second, one second I've just got to make an announcement!" but Jane cut in and said: "That is it," before segueing into what viewers of the show could expect on tomorrow's episode of Loose Women.

"But I was just in the middle of the announcement," Gino continued as Linda pretended to hold her hand over his mouth. He then managed to add: "So I'm here and you plug someone else's book," as Jane waved goodbye to the viewers.

And Loose Women viewers appeared to pick up on the problem too. @brownsugarify tweeted: "Why bring Gino out and speak over him… that’s not good #LooseWomen." @Holts97172875 commented: "Wish gino had a longer segment #LooseWomen." Others, however, weren't as impressed about his appearance.

@AntMelia94 wrote: "Gino advertising his book feels like a Drag Race challenge, he’s mentioning it EVERY sentence. #LooseWomen." @DavidMackayy posted: "Christ alive Gino, attention seeker much #loosewomen."
