Fred Sirieix has opened up about Gino D'Acampo and Gordon Ramsay's testy relationship after Gino quit their hit show Gordon, Gino and Fred's Road Trip.
Both Gino and Gordon are big characters, though they have seemed to have always got along while on camera.
Yes, they do have their bickering moments, but as viewers, it all looks like nothing too serious.

But it appears as though the pair would often lock horns 'both on and off camera' while they were filming.
Earlier this week, Gino confirmed that he would be leaving the show due to scheduling conflicts and issues with his contract.
The star stressed that he is still pals with his co-stars Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix, but said he felt he had no option but to quit.
In the clip, Gino told his followers: “Last week I decided not to film any more Gordon, Gino and Fred Road Trips. The reason is very simple - nothing to do with Gordon or Fred, the friendship is very strong.
"It’s just because we can’t get the dates together and sometimes when we do get the dates together sometimes they get changed and it causes a lot of problems for me because I have other stuff that I have to do.
"Personal problems as well because when I have to change things with my family it is very complicated and also because contracts."
But while Gino said that he is still good mates with Gordon, Fred has claimed that the pair are always at loggerheads with each other.
Speaking to the Daily Star, he said: "Well the problem is Gordon is always right and Gino is never wrong, and that includes everything...
"So, when they get at loggerheads, I'm just right in the middle.
"I'm definitely the peacemaker, both on camera and off camera, and in the group chat it's just insane."
But while Fred was seemingly in the middle of the arguments, The First Dates star said that the trio have had a lot of fun making the show.
"Look, we have a lot of fun, that’s for sure. And that’s why it’s great to do it," he continued.
"And I think that’s what shows on camera, because we have genuine fun.
"Even if Gordon is just going crazy because we’re having too much fun, that in itself is funny, because you’re like, ‘why are you such a killjoy? Just enjoy life for God’s sake’."
