Former Coronation Street actress Vicky Entwistle has spoken out against ITV amid the allegations against TV chef Gino D'Acampo, who is accused of "distressing" and "sexually inappropriate" behaviour by numerous individuals over a 12-year period.

While Gino has "firmly denied" the claims, ITV is investigating the matter. Vicky, who left the cobbles 13 years ago, recently posted a photo of the chef on social media, stating: "I don't know this man personally, therefore have no reason to stick my neck out in his defence." She continued: "BUT! ! !

ITV played that man for all he was worth... cheeky, naughty, foreign, hilarious! ! ! It all fitted in 10 years ago... now with a new WOKE agenda they crucify him?!?!" Meanwhile, Gino's friend and co-star Fred Sirieix appeared to downplay the controversy surrounding the chef over the weekend.

Gino recently uploaded a video on his Instagram during a fan meet and greet, garnering support from Fred, who liked the post.This move came despite Fred's silence over the swirling allegations against the Italian TV star.
