The fifth series later next month and Gino has announced that it will be his last for a range of reasons but assured his followers that he and others were still great friends.
Announcing the news via his Instagram, Gino said regretfully: “Last week I decided not to film any more Gordon, Gino and Fred Road Trips. The reason is very simple – nothing to do with Gordon or Fred, the friendship is very strong.
“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 contracts.
“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.

Fred Sirieix discussed how the relationship between the three of them plays out when they are on and off camera whilst speaking to the Daily Star.
Speaking to the Daily Star, he said: “Well the problem is Gordon is always right and Gino is never wrong, and that includes everything…
“So, when they get at loggerheads, I’m just right in the middle. I’m definitely the peacemaker, both on camera and off camera, and in the group chat it’s just insane.”
Fred assured that the trio aren’t just arguing all the time and that the show was a joy to make.

But while Fred was seemingly in the middle of the arguments, The First Dates star said that the trio have had a lot of fun making the show.
He continued: “Look, we have a lot of fun, that’s for sure. And that’s why it’s great to do it,” he continued. And I think that’s what shows on camera, because we have genuine fun.
“Even if Gordon is just going crazy because we’re having too much fun, that in itself is funny, because you’re like, ‘why are you such a killjoy? Just enjoy life for God’s sake’.”
