A popular TV chef was allegedly caught with cannabis upon arrival at a Hampshire Airport last year, according to The Sun. 

Gino D'Acampo, who mostly is known for his antics on This Morning, was reportedly returning to the UK after filming in Spain with Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix in November 2022. 

According to The Sun, sniffer dogs began circling around Gino as he exited a private jet at Farnborough Airport.

The tabloid claims that cannabis was discovered in a small box inside his luggage, causing his colleagues and himself to be held for some time by Border Force.

However, The Sun says that Gino was reportedly given a warning after assuring officers that the cannabis was for his own medicinal use and not intended for anyone else.

A Farnborough Airport spokesperson told The MailOnline: "Farnborough Airport takes a zero tolerance approach to any illegal activity relating to flights arriving into or departing from the Airport. 

"We work closely with UK Border Force, who are based on-site at Farnborough Airport, to ensure we maintain the safety and welfare of all passengers, crew, visitors and staff at all times."

Gino D'Acampo representatives have been approached for comment. 

This comes after Mr D’Acampo announced he would be quitting his popular road trip show with Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix amid “stressful” contract discussions.

The Italian celebrity chef, 46, said he would rather step back from the ITV show, Gordon, Gino And Fred: Road Trip, than affect his friendship with his co-stars as he values it “so much”.

The food show sees the trio cook and try local cuisines as they travel through various countries including Italy, France, Scotland, the US and Greece.

A fourth series, titled Gordon, Gino & Fred’s Road Trip in Spain, is still due to air on ITV and ITVX later this year as it has already been filmed, the broadcaster has said.
