Gino D'Acampo's horror crash
Production on the ITV show has been halted after the 47-year-old chef was injured when a stunt went horribly wrong.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "One stunt saw Gino have to go down a 200ft slide on a toboggan, clutching a cocktail glass. He raised concerns at the top of the slide about the glass.
“He was still filming a piece to camera when a mother and her two kids came hurtling down at 30mph and crashed.
“There was blood everywhere and one of the boys had blood pouring from his mouth,
“The mum and her other child had concussion and an ambulance was immediately called as Gino was treated on-site.
“Crew were understandably shaken and the shoot was immediately halted.
“ITV had real duty of care concerns and immediately offered counselling to anyone who may have been upset by what they saw.
“There were echoes of the Freddie Flintoff crash and ITV were adamant that they look after their staff.
“The following day both Fred [Sirieix] and Gino got ill, and Gino’s temperature shot up to 40.3 degrees. Two doctors were called.
“He was prescribed antibiotics, and had to remain holed-up in Vienna until he was well enough to fly home.
"Gino was livid after the crash, and vented his frustrations at the bottom of the slide."
Gino told The Sun: “It was the worst shoot of our life.
“I am shocked I have not had a phone call from ITV to see how I am and I cannot wait to talk to them about all of this.
“After 22 years of working with them, I am in an accident and I get ill, and yet I don’t get a phone call; I smell a fish. I think ITV have no idea what happened.”
