Overview
- ITV News published new accounts from former staff, including producer Sue Fowler, alleging bullying and intimidating behavior by D’Acampo during a 2022 shoot for Gino’s Italy.
- Fowler says a crew member collapsed on set in Naples and alleges D’Acampo made callous remarks, prompting her to file a complaint that she believes led to no meaningful consequences.
- Anonymous crew members described feeling belittled and too fearful to report incidents at the time, with one citing an encounter dating back to 2010.
- Betty TV and Objective Media Group say they investigated the 2022 incident, formally addressed D’Acampo’s conduct, and provided him with bespoke anti-bullying and harassment training.
- ITV states it strengthened conduct policies, set up a Complaints Handling Unit in 2024, will review any new reports, and is directing workers to report via Safecall, while D’Acampo denies the allegations and has not issued a statement.
