Gino D’Acampo caused complete chaos during his TV interview on Wednesday’s Loose Women.
The celebrity chef, 47, was embroiled in a heated discussion with panelists Christine Lampard, Myleene Klass, Denise Welch and Kelle Bryan when he admitted he ‘hated children’.
Gino shares two sons Luciano, 22, Rocco, 19, and daugher Mia, 12, with his beloved wife Jessica, whom have been married since 2002.
Despite the Italian cook having three children of his own, Gino still shared his strong dislike for youngsters – and even had the audience applaud him.
He said: ‘I don’t really like children, is it okay to say that? I’m one of those parents that when I say I don’t like children, don’t think I see a child and then kick it.

‘I mean I don’t like to do children’s stuff. My daughter she is 12 today. I don’t like the glitter stuff and the finger painting. There’s stuff everywhere and I’m thinking “I don’t really want to do this”. I was not born to do this!
‘The only difference is I actually say it. I say to my wife, “I don’t want to do this, it’s boring, I’ve got nothing to say to this child”.’
He added: ‘I like to go shopping, I take them to buy things, the fun stuff. Who the hell likes glitter, plus everything they produce is rubbish. It’s not like I can say “what a beautiful painting.” No, I’ll say what the hell is that, It’s c**p. Tell them the truth!’
As the audience applauded Gino and merely agreed with everything he was saying, the panelists hilariously told the audience to stop agreeing with him.
Gino added: ‘No! It’s because they know the truth! Tell them the truth!’
My wife puts every picture in her office and I go in and say “that is rubbish, what is that?’

Previous accounts said that 49 creditors were not paid. £4.8million is owed to trade creditors, £113,975 to HMRC and £53,304 to staff, the Mirror reports.
In a final account to creditors and members, the company said: ‘Overall, I can confirm that the realisations in the liquidation are insufficient to declare a dividend to the unsecured creditors after defraying the expenses of the proceedings.’
It comes two years after Gino’s My Pasta Bar chain, which opened in 2012, went under when it lost hundreds of thousands year on year until it reached breaking point.
