The 48-year-old is launching 'multiple work projects' in Australia — five months after ITV cut ties with with the former This Morning favourite, following allegations of inappropriate behaviour while making shows. 6 Gino D'Acampo is relaunching his brand in Australia amid his UK woes Credit: ITV 6 It was claimed the star was 'inappropriate' towards colleagues, which included sexist comments made towards Holly Willoughby in 2018 Credit: GINO D'ACAMPO / INSTAGRAM 6 Gino has put his £4.2million Hertfordshire mansion up for sale Credit: Ray Collins The Italian cook is launching projects including two new restaurants and a culinary tech platform, 11,000 miles from his Hertfordshire mansion — now on the market for £4.2million. Last night, Gino's representative said: 'He loves Australia a lot — the people, culture, cleanliness and environment.'

'But it's been made clear to him that TV opportunities over here are few and far between in the wake of recent allegations, and that's frustrating. 'While Gino has always denied any wrongdoing, he's a pragmatist and knows it's time for new adventures. 'He's been inundated with offers Down Under following a really successful tour there. 'He spent some time in Australia a few years ago, and loved it. He still has a large social media following and plans to capitalise on that in the next stage of his career.'

Last year, The Sun revealed Gino had been put on a language and behavioural course by concerned ITV bosses. And earlier this year an ITV investigation found there were multiple claims of 'unacceptable', 'distressing' and 'horrendous' behaviour against him, dating back 12 years. It was also claimed ITV ignored complaints over the star's 'inappropriate' treatment of colleagues, which included sexist comments made towards former This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby in 2018.

With Nadine Dorries
Nadine Dorries is one of the most recognisable Conservative politicians from the past two decades. Elected as the MP for Mid Bedfordshire in 2005, she notably clashed with David Cameron and George Osborne (who she called 'two arrogant posh boys') and lost the whip in 2012 when she took part in the reality show I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here. Loyal to Boris Johnson, she served in his government and rose to be Culture Secretary. She stood down in 2023 and went on to write about politics in the bestselling books The Plot and Downfall. On the podcast, Nadine tells the Spectator's executive editor Lara Prendergast about her memories of tinned burgers and Sunday lunches as a child, working long shifts as a nurse in Warrington and what it was like spending a year in Zambia. She also explains the 'relentless' but 'collegiate' atmosphere of Parliament and how she once saw a mouse at the Commons' salad bar. Nadine explains what it is like to have recently used the weight-loss jab Mounjaro and why, in her family, she is still the 'queen of the Sunday roast'. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Dragon's Den star reveals biggest regret after investing millions on BBC show
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DRAGONS' Den legend Duncan Bannatyne wishes he had quit the telly hit sooner – so he could concentrate on his own endeavours. The gym chain boss, 76, forked out over £2 million on 36 investments during his ten-year reign on the BBC show. 4 Duncan doesn't miss Dragons' Den. Credit: BBC 4 Duncan with wife Nigora in Portugal. However, after bowing out in 2015, followed by his last major TV appearance in I'm A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here in the same year, he revealed that he regrets not declaring 'I'm out' years earlier. Duncan said: 'I left the show ten years ago. I regret not leaving earlier, actually, as it's a huge commitment and takes up 26 days of the year to film. I spent a lot of time away from my family. 'When you invest in someone, you then need to take responsibility for that person and make hard decisions, sometimes it's not nice. 'I just didn't want to be involved in it any more, I have my own businesses.' Duncan also revealed he doesn't regularly keep in touch with his fellow Dragons. He added: 'We all lead very different lives, but I did bump into Theo recently.' And reflecting on his TV career, Duncan says he's unlikely to return to the small screen. He says: 'I don't think I'll do any more television — it doesn't appeal to me. I've done everything I wanted to.' Away from television, Clydebank-born Duncan leads a busy and fulfilling personal and professional life. He began his career in the Royal Navy in the 1960s, but received a dishonourable discharge after threatening to throw an abusive officer off a boat landing jetty. His entrepreneurial journey began at age 30 when he bought an ice-cream van for £450. From there he built the largest chain of independent health clubs in the UK and expanded into hotels and property. I was on Dragons' Den - here's which Dragon is the most intimidating and which one is totally different off camera Today, Duncan oversees 68 gyms, takes pride in being a devoted husband and enjoys spending time with his seven grandchildren. He's also involved in charity work, including Operation Smile, a global organisation dedicated to helping children with cleft conditions. He says: 'I went to a black tie dinner and one of the auction prizes was a trip to Mexico with Operation Smile. I bid for it and won. 'On that trip, I was absolutely amazed at how the charity transforms lives. Children with cleft conditions are often ridiculed, called 'demons' and suffer from malnourishment due to difficulties eating. 'In the UK these issues are resolved quickly but in many parts of the world there aren't enough trained medics to address them.' Duncan is currently on a charity mission in Morocco with Uzbekistan-born wife Nigora Whitehorn, 45. The multi-millionaire tied the knot in 2017 with the stunning brunette, who is 31 years his junior. They at an intimate ceremony before family and friends on a Portuguese beach, close to where they live. The entrepreneur has five daughters and one son from his previous marriages, while Nigora has one daughter who Duncan calls his own. They met shortly after his divorce in 2011 from his second wife, Joanna McCue, which is said to have cost £345 million. Nigora was working as a dentist's receptionist in London's Harley Street when the pair first met. Duncan admitted that the connection on his side was instantaneous. 4 He's much happier doing charity work now. Credit: Supplied 4 Duncan enjoys working closely with his wife after quitting telly. Credit: instagram The smitten husband said: 'It's great that I get to do charity work alongside my wife, we're a good team. But it's not just my wife, I've got my son and daughter here with me as well as my wife's daughter, who I call my own. 'It's like a family operation, I get to spend time with my loved ones while doing work for a great cause.' Duncan told how he keeps in touch with families and feels a sense of attachment after hearing of their horrific ordeals. And he is happy to pull on a surgical gown and watch doctors at work in the operating theatre. He added: 'Handing a baby back to their mother after the procedure is an amazing feeling. "There are about 400 children at one time and sometimes you get attached to a certain child. You want to see them through the full process. I've kept in touch with a few families. "One story that sticks out was a young girl with six fingers. She had no nose and was coming in for her cleft lip and the surgeon used her extra finger to create a nose.' Duncan also loves spending quality time with his seven grandchildren. He said: 'I get to see them quite a bit, most of them spend summer with me in my house in Portugal. 'A few of them are out here with me now, my oldest grandson came over too. My granddaughter works for one of my clubs — she's loving it.' Duncan shows no signs of slowing down after dancing the night away in February at a Miami nightclub for his star-studded 76th birthday bash. Nigora declared her devotion to the Scots entrepreneur online, saying: 'I love you to the moon and back . . . Happy birthday to someone who never fails to brighten my day.' A source said at the time: 'Duncan had an absolute ball. There might be a few sore heads in the morning, but it was worth it.' The Scot has also swapped the boardroom for board games. He adds: 'During my downtime here in Morocco, I like to relax — by thrashing my son at backgammon.'
