ITV is under pressure to break the ties with Gino d'Acampo after the TV presenter was accused of 'sexually inappropriate' behavior that lasts 12 years.
Female groups have beaten 48-year-old in the midst of claims that he used sexualized and aggressive language on sets, including Gino's Italian Express, Gordon, Gino and Fred's Road trip and emission.
An ITV News study found 'dozens' accusations of misconduct against the chef during filming, with his behavior described as 'unacceptable' and 'painful' by its accusers.
Despite the fact that he changed the upcoming schedules on Friday to ensure that d'acampo will not appear on TV screens in the coming ten days, ITV had not removed shows on his streaming platform ITVX last night.

Dr. Charlotte Proudman, the founder of Right to Equality, said: 'It is particularly worrying that ITV continues with the shows of Platform d'acampo on ITVX – including those where complaints were reportedly submitted.
This sends a harmful message to the victims and the wider industry: those commercial interests weigh on the accountability of potential sexual predators.
'ITV must answer how this could happen and why women were rejected and ignored, so that sexual misconduct can continue with impunity.
Jemima Olchawski, CEO of the Fawcett Society, said that the allegations were “shocking and should not have a place in our society.”
“We need all employers to ensure that their workplace culture does not support this toxic behavior,” she added.

Victims of the alleged mean behavior of d'acampo have accused ITV and other production companies of 'furiously protecting' the presenter for fear of losing financial investments.
D'Acampo has 'firmly denied' the allegations and said that they were 'just not in my nature' and they describe as 'deeply disturbing'.
A statement from ITV said: 'All worries and complaints that have been raised by those who spoke with ITN [the producer of ITV News] Describe behavior that is inappropriate and unacceptable.
“Most were not reported to ITV at the time. Where problems with ITV promotion have been discussed. '
