Gino causes an awkward moment with Phillip Schofield ‘dig’
It seems like Gino couldn’t himself but make a comment that appeared to be about the recent drama as he returned to the kitchen. Introducing Gino’s orange and pistachio tiramisu twist, Dermot said: “It’s been a while but Gino is finally allowed back in the This Morning kitchen.”
Gino replied: “I was in Italy for a month and I can’t wait to cook for all of you.” He then joked: “Everything is under control, I’m back. Any news? Anything in the last month that I should know of?”
Dermot sat silently with a pen in his mouth looking uncomfortable while Holly giggled next to him. Holly finally replied: “No news,” as Gino jumped in and said: “No news?” Gino then said: “Okay, so I can go straight into the cooking.” Dermot then joked: “Just need to re-phrase – he’s back for one-time only!”
