EMILY PRESCOTT: Is Phillip Schofield quietly relieved that Gino D’Acampo is taking a break from This Morning after the star’s investment in the chef’s pasta bar was lost following the company’s collapse?
When Gino D’Acampo announced he was taking a break from the TV show This Morning in March, host Phillip Schofield he heard jokes under his breath: ‘Thank God for that!’ Could it have something to do with Phil losing thousands when Gino’s fast food pasta bar chain collapsed in January with £5million in debt?
Phil owned 2,200 of the 119,000 shares in My Pasta Bars Ltd, which served pasta ‘on the go’. The collapse left 49 creditors overboard and the staff owed more than £37,000 in unpaid wages.
I think the couple should be congratulated for hiding some awkwardness when they appeared together on ITVflagship show!

Smoking hot Highclere
The heat wave may have been unbearable for some, but the owner of Highclere Castle, aka Downton Abbey, tells me he had one of his best business ever. The 8th Earl of Carnarvon, George Herbert (that’s Lady Carnarvon, above, enjoying the shade) says the castle raked in record sales of gin cocktails and ice creams, and one group from America even splashed out on 40 cigars.

My lips are sealed, but…
Which senior parliamentarians have caught the attention of colleagues by getting close? The pair have enjoyed long nighttime conversations and a few sleepovers. Sounds sweet… although I’m not sure her husband would agree!
