Gino D'Acampo has revealed he's decided to quit Gordon, Gino and Fred's Road Trip after contracts for the ITV got "very complicated".

The celebrity chef, 46, took to Instagram to share the sad news with fans on Sunday evening and explained how finding the right dates for the ITV show had became difficult.

However, Gino did clarify that his friendship with fellow chef Gordon Ramsay, 56, and First Dates star Fred Sirieix, 51, is still "very strong".

He started off his video by saying: "I’ve got a bit of news for you, and the reason I want to tell you is because I don’t want you to read any crap or any wrong information." Gino then announced: "Last week I decided not to film any more Gordon, Gino and Fred Road Trip, the reason is simple, nothing to do with Gordon and Fred – the friendship is very strong. "It’s just because we can’t get the dates together." He continued: "And when we do get the dates together sometimes they get changed and it causes a lot of problems for me." Explaining more about his decision to step away from the ITV show, Gino went on to admit that contracts got "very complicated" and he values his friendship with Gordon and Fred more than the TV show.
