Earlier this year, Gino shocked fans with his decision "not to film any more" road trips for the popular ITV travel and food show, but insisted it was "nothing to do with Gordon or Fred", noting their "friendship is very strong".

He said in an Instagram video at the time: "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.

"Personal problems as well because when I have to change things with my family it is very complicated and also because [of] contracts."

Gino explained that he made the decision to preserve his friendships.

He continued: "Because contracts start to become very complicated and very stressful, I personally value the friendship with Gordon and Fred so much that I would rather the friendship than arguments with the contract.

"So I have decided not to do it anymore because I want to be friends with the boys for many, many years ahead."

Fred would love to reunite with the pair for another trip but admits it's unlikely.

He told The Mirror: "Well, you never know ... if we can get the dates together perhaps ['Road Trip' will return] but we don't seem to be able to get the dates together.

"So there we go. C'est La Vie, as they say. It was good while it lasted, but it's finished and we move on. There were so many wonderful memories, it was a lot of fun."
