Gino D’Acampo - I’m A Celebrity 2009
Sunday, 15th November 2009
Chef to the stars Gino D’Acampo admits he is used to taking charge in every area of life and hopes his fellow celebs will see him as the natural leader of the group.
The 43 year-old says: “I am a bit of a control freak. I have always been a leader. Everything I do, in my business, my restaurant, my family, with friends, I have always, always been the leader.
“I don’t bully people to put me in charge. I like to put people in a situation where they think, ‘We should let him do it.’ I let them choose. That is my rule in life.
“If something goes wrong, I can always say, ‘You wanted me to be the leader, you didn’t have the balls to do it yourself, what do you want now?’”
Switching off
But although Gino loves nothing more than being in control he hopes that a stint in the jungle might help him overcome another problem he has – not being able to switch off.
He says: “I need to learn how to relax, that is problem I have, that I can’t relax, sit down and just think about nothing.”

Gino reckons he will get along with his camp-mates - as long as they understand his sense of humour.
“I’m the kind of guy who gets on with everyone. The problem I have is that I’ve got a very weird sense of humour, I’m very sarcastic.
“Sometimes I talk too fast without actually thinking about what I’m saying just because I think it’s funny. In fact, one of my worries is that I’m going to say some kind of remark that’s not going to go down well …but most of the time I am joking.
“Seriously, I just try to wind people up, nothing more than that.”
Here’s hoping there are plenty of jungle jokes going on to keep us all entertained!
