Gino D’Acampo might be a big personality when he’s on the telly, whether he’s showing us how to whip up a perfect Italian dish or having the mick taken out of him on Celebrity Juice.
But the TV chef, 42, is normally something of a closed book when it comes to his private life.
Earlier this week, he offered fans a glimpse at his home life with an adorable snap of his daughter.

Gino took to Twitter to share a photo of himself tucking into a big plate of pasta with his little girl, Mia.
The pic shows him apparently giving her a lesson on the best way to gobble up a plate of spaghetti with courgettes and peppers.
He captioned the photo: “Teaching my little girl Mia how to eat spaghetti with courgettes and roasted peppers…”
Gino’s fans rushed to comment on the tweet and let him know how cute Mia is.
One said: “Cute beyond words! I also had courgettes and peppers for tea but in a ratatouille with rice! Keep up the good work, Gino!”
Someone else wrote: “Ah that’s lovely, Mia is gorgeous.”
A third commented: “What a precious photo.”
Others took the opportunity to question his eating methodology.
One replied: “Easier with a fork and spoon, surely?”
Someone else tweeted back: “That’s not how to eat spaghetti and you know it!”
Another asked: “Why didn’t you just use a fork?”
Earlier this year, Gino had to drop out of his regular cooking segment on This Morning because he was ill.
Presenters Holly and Phil found themselves having to run the studio kitchen in his absence and their cooking skills were put to the test.
They tried to dish up a crab linguine by following instructions written on a piece of paper, but the situation quickly descended into chaos and they eventually had Gino directing them over the phone.

When he returned to the show, he jokingly took a swipe at their admittedly poor attempt to fill in for him.
Holly said: “And look who’s turned up to work! Well, wonders never cease.”
But Gino clapped back, pointing at the duo: “Let’s not make a fuss about me coming back, one day off I took in 13 years, one day off.”
Gino has three children with his wife of 17 years, Jessica – daughter Mia and sons Rocco and Luciano.
