NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Does anyone else, parent or not, feel incredibly sorry for Gino D’Acampo’s wife, Jessica, right now? And his children Luciano, 20, Rocco, 16, and Mia, nine? I certainly do.
Because in an interview with Giovanna Fletcher this week, the TV chef has described, in surprising detail, just how disinterested he is in being a dad.
‘I don’t want to say I don’t like children, because it’s not true. […] I don’t like the children when they’re children,’ he said, on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast.
‘I don’t want to do children things – colouring, all that crap, glittering, not interested, never been interested, never, ever, ever… I don’t have patience for kids. For me, they can come to me and start to talk to me sensibly after about 13 – they need to be teenagers. I’m more present now for my boys than I was before.’
