Peter Andre sets record straight on ‘rift’ with Gino D’Acampo after criticism

Peter Andre has confirmed there is no bad blood between himself and Gino D’Acampo after the pair had a disagreement over how to cook pasta. The Mysterious Girl singer admitted Gino is like ‘family’ despite the Italian chef mocking his culinary skills. Peter told OK Magazine: “There was a funny story in the press last week that there’s a ‘rift’ between me and Gino D’Acampo, but obviously that couldn’t be further from the truth! ‘Basically he wants to admit that he loves my cooking, but he can’t bring himself to do it. “Gino and his family are like family to me. He’s like my brother – but as I always say, Greeks do it better. Admittedly not pasta,’ he finished. Peter Andre has confirmed there is no bad blood between himself and Gino D’ Acampo.
