Gino D'Acampo in 'horror crash with blood everywhere' during filming for new ITV show with Fred Siri
Gino D’Acampo was reportedly in a horror crash with 'blood everywhere' as he filmed for a new ITV show with Fred Sirieix.
The chef, 47, has been in Vienna with the French maître d'hôtel, 51, for the new travel show titled Emission Impossible, as they visit some of Europe's most stunning locations.
Production has now come to a grinding halt, with Gino describing it as 'the worst shoot of my life,' before slamming ITV for not checking up on him, according to The Sun.
The incident which took place on October 18, saw him attempt to go down a '200ft slide on a toboggan, clutching a cocktail glass.'
Gino told the publication: '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.'

An insider added: '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.'
An ambulance was called for the children while Gino was treated onsite with the broadcaster offering counselling and support to those involved.
Both presenters had flagged safety concerns ahead of filming, with the presenter left 'livid' after also getting ill the next day after working '14-hour days in freezing conditions.'
MailOnline has contacted representatives of Gino and ITV for comment.
A representatives from ITV told MailOnline: 'Contrary to reports the shoot for Emission Impossible, which was produced for ITV by an independent production company, was postponed owing to illness.
'We have robust and comprehensive policies which we implement contractually with our suppliers and partners.
'The independent production companies who make shows for us have primary responsibility for the duty of care of everyone they work with, both on and off screen.
'This includes establishing appropriate health and safety arrangements. We are speaking with Betty TV, the production company who make Emission Impossible to clarify their position.'

Gino and Fred Sirieix have reunited for a the ITV travel series as they attempt to go green in the show titled Emission Impossible.
It sees them eat, sleep and travel as sustainably as they can while seeking out some of Europe's most stunning locations.
In March, Gino announced that he was departing his Road Trip show with Gordon Ramsay and Fred, with the final series featuring the trio set to air next month.
Inspired by his children, Fred has genuinely become more eco-conscious and his concerns were accelerated by watching his beloved Europe burn in 40 degree temperatures this summer.
Therefore, he's determined to re-educate, re-cycle and re-engineer his eco-sceptic sidekick in their own backyard

Gino and Fred will visit Austria, whose capital was ranked as the greenest city in the world in 2020, but which is suffering from melting glaciers.
They'll also travel to Croatian islands that are at risk of rising sea levels, all the while tracking down sustainable produce and immersing themselves in environmentally-friendly lifestyles, that we could all learn from.
Gino and Fred said: 'We're thrilled to be upcycled by ITV for another action-packed adventure and can't wait to cook up some fantastic sustainable dishes whilst hopefully stirring up debate around these important issues.
'We might not come up with the recipe to save the planet but we hope to entertain, inform and inspire the audience to think about making changes in their own lives.'
