59:01|Joining us today is a man working in rarefied TV air - a presenter, chef, author and personality who captures the public’s attention like few else. It’s the legendary Gino D’Acampo!Gino dials in for a chat about living life to its absolute fullest, from his years wowing diners and entertaining the public from behind stovetops across the world, to inadvertently stumbling in on orgies and changing his middle name to “Sheffield” as part of a chaotic stint on Celebrity Juice.But it’s fair to say that Gino is a more layered, thoughtful man than the public’s perception of him might suggest. Because behind the outlandish court jester everyone has come to love is a savvy businessman, a nurturing father and a philosophical thinker who doesn’t care what show you’re offering or how big the paycheque is - if it encroaches on his principles (or his Sardinian holiday), he’s not interested.Get yourself a copy of Gino's new air fryer cookbook right here!
