He rashly promised to carry out one of his cookery segments in the nude if This Morning won a National Television Award - and Gino D'Acampo fulfilled his promise today by cooking without his clothes on the show.
To whooping and cheering from the crew and much hilarity from hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, the 34-year-old saucy Italian came onto the set wearing just an apron following the show's victory last night.
However, as he started cooking his gammon dish, he whipped his apron off - and revealed that some This Morning fans had sent in handmade knitted 'willy warmers' which he was wearing to protect his 'meat and two veg'.

Giggles: Holly and Phillip spent most of the segment, where Gino cooked a gammon dish, either laughing or not knowing where to look
But the celebrity chef got bothered with the wool, and soon whipped them off too - included one knitted in the colours of the Italian flag - to the mock horror of Holly, 29, and Phillip, 48.
Phillip kept shaking his head in disbelief, saying: 'Never in my life would I have believed we would do this.'
Holly however managed to keep her mind on the job at hand, and asked Gino whether or not the meat used in the dish should be smoked or plain.

In ad breaks, Phillip first Tweeted a picture of Gino still fully clothed behind his cookery counter ready to cook up a storm, having revealed earlier on the show that the work surface had been raised by a few inches to reach Gino's waist - and save more sensitive viewers from being offended.
Unabashed, the finally fully naked Gino - who won I'm A Celebrity in 2009 - then tackled cooking the meat dish.
The recipe involved him rather bravely fry the gammon steak in butter with chilli and chopped parsley, despite the dangers of splashing.
Phillip quipped: 'I still think you should have barbecued.'

Holly didn't know where to look when she joined Gino behind the counter to mash up some peas with mascarpone, and even Phillip had to go behind and avert his eyes when he took some savoury potatoes out of the oven.
With the meal finally finished, Holly and Phillip tucked in as the crew applauded Gino - but Phillip warned the still nude chef: 'For heaven's sake, don't bow!'
He concluded: 'Well, I think that was all really rather dignified, don't you? I think we got away with that.'
