The One Show viewers shocked as Gino D’Acampo admits to being ‘high as a kite’ while filming with Gordon Ramsay

GINO D’Acampo caused a stir when he admitted to being “high as a kite” while filming his TV show with Gordon Ramsay.

The Italian presenter was live on The One Show when he shocked hosts Alex Jones and Gethin Jones with his drug use confession pre-watershed.

But he was referring to a hilarious moment on Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip while in San Francisco where cannabis is legal.

The city leads the way for creating food and drink containing CBD or THC and after trying out local dishes, Gino was as “high as a kite”.

He ended up dressed in lycra and wearing sunglasses on set during the show which aired in April.

Asked what was behind his choice of outfit on The One Show tonight, Gino said: “This is when I was in San Francisco with Gordon [Ramsay] and Fred [Sirieix] when we did the Road Trip and I was doing Goat Yoga.

“And I can also tell you that, this is why I was dressed like that. I had sunglasses because I was high as a kite.”

Stunned presenter Gethin fell silent before saying: “OK…”

Alex jumped in to move the conversation on, adding: “I did see that episode and know why. It was very entertaining”, but didn’t add context for viewers.

The hilarious moment tickled viewers at home, with one saying: “Gino saying he was high as a kite on #TheOneShow has made my day.”

Someone else added: “Gino saying he was high as a kite on #TheOneShow has made my day.”

Gino is known for his hilarious gaffes on This Morning – usually making pal Holly Willoughby cry with laughter.
