Gino D'Acampo has said he will not return to ITV's Road Trip
Others commented on the episode, with one writing: "I'm loving watching this it's just brilliant," and a third adding: "I love the show. Can't wait for tonight's episode."
Gino announced that he was leaving Road Trip earlier this week in a video shared on his Tik Tok. The TV personality and chef explained that due to challenging issues surrounding his contracts, he made the decision to step away.
"Last week I decided not to film any more Gordon, Gino and Fred Road trips," he began, adding: "The reason is very simple – nothing to do with Gordon or Fred, the friendship is very strong."

He continued: "It's just because we can't get the dates together and sometimes when we do get the dates together sometimes, they get changed and it causes a lot of problems for me because I have other stuff that I have to do."
Fans of the ITV programme were quick to react to Gino's exit and while many were disappointed, they praised the chef's honesty. One said: "Respect Gino, completely appreciate the personal video to fans. Hope the friendship remains very strong and happy you did what you wanted."
Another echoed this, commenting: "That's a good decision. Money breaks friendships and families so better keep your amazing friendship you have with the boys and good luck."
