GINO D’Acampo has broken his silence after being caught with cannabis in his luggage.

The Sun revealed he was given a warning when sniffer dogs alerted Border Force after leaving Gordon Ramsay’s private jet following filming in Spain.

Ignoring the scandal, Gino shared a shocking video of a couple working out.

"Oh he's working on his abs, very nice," said Gino.

The Italian telly chef then gasped as he watched the woman be grabbed in her private parts as she was lifted into the air.

"I'm going to guess that's his wife," Gino laughed.

"Look he's smiling, the dirty..."

The video then cuts out.

He captioned the post: "This reminds me, I must go back to the gym… GDx."

Gino’s airport drug bust came just weeks before he quit his telly road show with Gordon and Fred.

Border Force pulled over the Italian chef after he touched down in Britain on Ramsay’s private jet following filming in Spain.

Sniffer dogs are said to have started circling him as he arrived with Gordon and Fred at the airport, a regular stop-off for the rich and famous.

Cannabis was then found in a small box inside the Family Fortunes presenter’s luggage.

Officers accepted it was for his own medicinal use — not intended for anybody else — and issued him with a warning.

Gino was stopped, cautioned and fined for possession of a prohibitive substance, namely cannabis.

But he was not arrested.

The 46-year-old had been in Spain filming Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip. A source said last night: “Fred and Gordon were pretty cross.”

The news comes after the dad of three blindsided ITV bosses last month by quitting Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip amid “stressful” contract talks.

Three years ago on Gordon, Gino and Fred: American Road Trip, viewers watched Italian Gino get high after he had cannabis-infused tea in California — where it is legal.

Gino also put cannabis droplets on his salmon mousse, saying: “In for a penny, in for a pound.”

Fellow chef Gordon turned down the cannabis and advised him: “Slow down, you’ll be like a hot air balloon in a minute.”

Gino then started to slur his speech and struggled to put on a bandana before being helped down the stairs by his sober colleagues.

News of the TV star’s airport bust on November 29 last year comes two weeks after he announced he was quitting Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip after four series.

Gino said he did not want “stressful” ­contract talks to ruin his friendship with co-stars Gordon, 56, and Frenchman Fred, 51,

He wrote on Instagram: “The ­reason is simple — nothing to do with Gordon and Fred, the friendship is very strong. It’s just because we can’t get the dates together. When contracts start to get very complicated, then it becomes very stressful.”

Last week The Sun revealed another issue was Gino’s desire to sleep in.

The star, described as a “party boy”, wanted to start filming later in the day so he could stay up at night.

It was also reported last weekend that some staff were left feeling “uncomfortable” by his behaviour towards them.

In 2002 Gino married Jessica ­Stellina Morrison — who he met working at Sylvester Stallone’s Mambo King restaurant in Marbella when he was just 18.

The couple have three children, Luciano, Rocci and Mia.
