Gino D'Acampo is reportedly facing allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards a female employee on the set of This Morning. The Italian TV chef and personality reportedly worked with the employee, who is said to have complained to ITV, for five years between 2006 and 2011.

According to sources, the woman decided to speak out following the controversy surrounding Gregg Wallace, who is being accused of inappropriate behaviour by 13 people. "She worked [with Gino] for five years. She has come forward after being spurred on by the Gregg Wallace scandal and the comment he made about his accusers being middle-class women of a certain age,” a source told The Sun.

“Her view is she is the middle-aged woman who believes young women shouldn’t have to put up with this kind of behaviour any more," they explained, adding: "Gino was younger and not as well-known then. He used to say he didn’t want to become famous as he would have to curtail his behaviour."

While ITV told The Mirror: “We can’t really comment on anything specific as we have duty of care to any complainant that comes forward”. OK! has reached out to Gino's representatives and ITV for further comment.

Dozens of survivors and dead pulled from abandoned South African mine as hundreds remain underground
Months after South African authorities initially cut off supplies to miners working illegally in an abandoned gold mine, rescuers brought dozens of bodies and emaciated survivors to the surface Tuesday with hundreds more still believed to be underground, many of them dead and others too weak to come out on their own. At least 60 bodies and 92 survivors had been pulled from one of South Africa's deepest mines since Monday in a red cagelike device lowered thousands of feet underground, police said. The mine has been the scene of a tense standoff between police, miners and members of the local community since authorities launched an operation in November to force the miners out by cutting off food and water from the surface for a period of time.

Audio of the 999 call released by the Metropolitan Police revealed how call handler Pippa Harvey led the woman through a series of yes or no questions to determine that she was afraid of someone in the property. Ms Harvey kept up the ruse as she dispatched officers to the property, asking the woman if she or her children had been threatened.
