Gino D’Acampo throws a ‘diva strop’ on This Morning after his slot is moved back because they thought he’d be late

GINO D'Acampo threw quite the strop on This Morning when Holly and Phillip told him he had the last slot of the show.

The TV chef was left unimpressed when he found out he wouldn't be showing off his latest recipe for over an hour.

After they did the round-up of what to expect on the show, Gino said: "Why so late? Why 12.15? I've been here since nine o'clock this morning."

Holly laughed and said: "It's lunch time" while Phil added: "We didn't think you would be here at nine o'clock in the morning. We put you on late just in case you were late."

Gino was still unimpressed and said: "What am I going to do until 12.15?";

Phillip and Holly couldn't help but laugh as they said: "We made him leave at seven o'clock this morning".

Gino corrected them as he said: "I left at quarter to seven this morning!"

Showing it was all in good jest, Gino smiled as Holly told him to "go and take a snooze".

Beforehand, Holly and Phil had been teasing Gino about how he's always late as they discussed how today is known as 'National Sickie Day'.

Holly said: "He's promised to be here on time this week!"

After they read out people's excuses for skipping work, Gino said: "I think you should name and shame all those people who say they're sick and don't go to work."

Gino then proclaimed he's "never pulled a sickie in all my life" before adding: "I'd rather say I'm not bothered to come to work today".

Phil then joked: "Never pulls a sickie but quite often late".
