Gino D’Acampo gets asked to watch fans have sex

Gino D’Acampo gets asked by fans to watch them having sex.

The 44-year-old TV chef has revealed that as well as being asked to sign "dirty" underwear, he’s also been invited more than once to "be present" during love-making sessions.

Gino told The Sun newspaper: "We do get a lot of things through the post off people, all sorts of weird and wonderful things.

"I don’t know about wonderful. The weirdest? I get asked a lot to sign personal things, like knickers, bras.

"I get dirty ones as well. But I get asked really weird things, which I don’t understand why you would ask me. I got asked once – not once, a few times – to be present as the ­couple were making love."

However, he would never take up the offer.

Asked if it’s something he’d ever agree to, Gino – who is happily married to wife Jessica Morrison – revolted: "No, man. No, no, no. No absolutely not. Flipping weird people out there, I can tell you that."

Meanwhile, Gino – who has sons Luciano, 18, Rocco, 15, and seven-year-old daughter Mia with his spouse – says when he’s working away he tries not to call his family because it makes him miss one another more.

He explained: "When we do ‘Gordon, Gino and Fred’s Road Trip’, we are away for six to eight weeks. I think the secret is not to call the family often.

"My point is always, ‘OK guys, you can call me and I can call you whenever you want, but only if there is something important. Let’s not start to get to this thing where we call each other for the sake of it.’

"The more you call, the more you miss them. If you don’t call the ­family, the time flies. All of a sudden, you turn around and say, ‘Oh wow, five days have gone?’

"Then you’ve got something to say. So that’s always been my secret, but everybody has a different way of doing it."

The ‘Family Fortunes’ host insisted the key to a successful marriage is allowing each other to live their own lives.

He added: "I’ve been married now for 19 years. We’ve been together for 26 years. The secret is everybody should also live their own life. You can’t expect, just because you’re a couple, that you have to do everything together.

"You know, we have loads of ­holidays together, we spend a long time together throughout the ­summers, Christmas holidays, but then there are also times when we don’t see each other for weeks, and I think that’s the cool thing.

"Then, when you meet again, you’ve got loads of things to talk about, loads of things that happened and that’s how you keep everything fresh. That is my secret."
