Gordon Ramsay finally has his say on Gino D’Acampo after he quits show

Gordon Ramsay has shared his thoughts on Gino D’Acampo in the wake of his departure from their show, and let's just say, he didn't hold back.

It's not like Ramsay is known for his mild manners and child-friendly language, so it's no surprise that he dropped f-bombs and insults when given the chance to speak about his co-stars recently on the Big Fish podcast with host Spencer Matthews.

The interview came after D’Acampo announced his departure from the ITV show Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip last month, explaining to fans that the trio had struggled to 'get the dates together' to go on their next adventure.

"Because contracts start to become very complicated and very stressful, I personally value the friendship with Gordon and Fred so much that I would rather the friendship than arguments with the contract," D'Acampo said.

"So I have decided not to do it anymore because I want to be friends with the boys for many, many years ahead."

Fans were left gutted over the news that they'd no longer get to see Gino, Gordon and Fred Sirieix attempt to cope with each other as well as whatever challenges they faced on their trip, but now Ramsay has offered an insight into what it's really like when they're out on the road together.

He described D'Acampo and Sirieix as 'incredible pain in the a**es' - but made one thing clear: he still loves them.

"They are great, they are wonderful, fantastic, incredible pain in the a**es. They're so f***ing lazy, they make me look good," he said.

Ramsay went on to indicate that both D'Acampo and Sirieix are pretty high maintenance out on the road, telling Matthews: "An hour in Gino wants an espresso, or he wants his eyebrows plucked, ninety minutes in, Fred's missing his croissant and his eyeliner.

"So we do get on, but three or four days in it's like, "Move over, I want more room in the bed", or, "Can we have a break?" They don't work hard."

Ramsay didn't stop there, as he went on to double down on his insults towards his fellow chef as he branded D'Acampo's pizzas as 'sh*t', and accused him of wearing platform shoes to make himself look taller.

"He knows that my pizzas are better than his pizzas. My dough is fresh, it's proven. He knows when he bites into my pizza that it's better than his," Ramsay said.

"He'll never admit it, but any guy that wears f***ing platforms in his shoes, and every year he gets taller, is never, ever going to decide that his pizzas are better than mine.

"I was in Spain recently with him and Fred and I said, 'Jesus, look'. And we did a selfie and he's like taller than Fred. Like dude, you're 5ft 4. So I went back to the caravan, the RV, and got his shoes out and tipped them out.

"Four platforms in his shoes. Four! It's like a pair of stilettos inside his Gucci loafers. I mean seriously, what a kn*b."
