Last week has the chef was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women who came forward to ITV News.\n\n\n\n
But Kelle has spoken out in defence of Gino, insisting he\u2019s a \u201creal pleasure\u201d to be around.\n\n\n\n
Speaking exclusively to The Sun at the TV Choice awards, Hollyoaks star Kelle said of the his chaotic appearance: \u201cTo be honest, Gino\u2019s always been funny and a big character.\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve never experienced any issues with him \u2013 it\u2019s always been a real pleasure.\u201d\n\n\n\n
Their investigation into Gino found there were multiple claims of \u201cunacceptable,\u201d \u201cdistressing\u201d and \u201chorrendous\u201d treatment while working with the TV star over more than 12 years.\n\n\n\n
And someone who doesn\u2019t share Kelle\u2019s opinion of Gino is Kim Woodburn, who did I\u2019m a Celebrity with him in 2009.\n\n\n\n
Speaking to us this week, she branded him \u201cvile\u201d.\n\n\n\n
Kim claimed: \u201cHis language to the crew was disgusting. He cheated, called this producer a \u2018f***ing bastard\u2019 and \u2018c***\u2019, then refused to leave the set.\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe had to stop filming while two men took him by the arm and forced him off the set back to the camp. They should have thrown him off the show. Ghastly it was.\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe treated crew like garbage, he didn\u2019t care. He\u2019s reduced many people to tears over the years.\u201d\n\n\n\n
