Biography
Italian-born chef with a bee in his bonnet about not putting onion and garlic together. Turned up on all sorts of cookery shows in the mid-2000s but his career exploded in 2009 after winning I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, and he is probably best known as a panelist on Celebrity Juice.
Was the subject of allegations in February 2025, following which ITV canned a series of Family Fortunes he had presented and axed its repeats.
Trivia
Spent two years in jail after burgling singer Paul Young's house.
His legal name is Gennaro Sheffield D'Acampo, following a game on Celebrity Juice.
Was very nearly a mentor on the American version of Next Level Chef, until a family commitment meant he couldn't fly out.
