Celebrity chef, Gino D'Acampo, was allegedly caught with cannabis by police sniffer dogs as he flew into the UK.
The 46 year old was reportedly given a warning when he arrived back in Britain with notorious chef, Gordon Ramsey, 56, and Fred Sirieix, 51, at Farnborough Airport, Hampshire.
The group had been in Spain filming Gordon, Gino and Fred: Road Trip.
According to a source, ‚Fred and Gordon were pretty cross at the situation that took place on November 29.
The source said:
Gino and the gang had been filming in Spain, and flew back home on Gordon's private jet. When they landed, out of nowhere sniffer dogs suddenly started circling Gino.
Gordon, Fred and Gino were all held for some time by Border Force, as Gino initially tried to laugh it off.‚
‚Eventually, it was clear who the dogs were after, and Gino went away with uniformed police for questioning. It was Gino's bags that were stopped and searched, and a small box with some weed inside was found.
Neither Fred nor Gordon, nor anyone else on the jet, had a single trace of anything suspicious.‚
The source added that Gino called Gordon and Fred the following day to explain he had been smoking it to help his bad back.
It is reported that Gordon and Fred were both angry about the situation, especially as Gordon has always been vocal about his anti-drugs stance.
The incident came just weeks before Gino quit the group's travel show, with claims he was leaving due to a disagreement over complicated contracts.
