TV CHEF Gino D'Acampo is a well known face on the box, thanks to his long career as a celebrity chef.
As he returns to TV with his new show Gino & Fred: Emission Impossible, we take a closer look at Gino's wife, Jessica, and the role she's played in his life.
Jessica Stellina Morrison is TV chef Gino D'Acampo's wife.
The pair met when he was 18 working at Sylvester Stallone’s Mambo King restaurant in Marbella.
Jessica is Gino's first love, and is of half-Italian, half-English descent.
The TV star has described Jessica as a "lady of leisure" and said: "My wife is a clever woman, she knows when to say something and when to bite her tongue."
Married with kids
The teenage sweethearts tied the knot in 2002.
This was after Gino's brief two-year stint in prison for burgling singer Paul Young's London home.
While he was locked up he decided he wanted to start a new page when he was released and has previously stated: "I was a boy, so I decided to get married and then I will be a man."
But it hasn't always been a bed of roses for the pair who broke up for a year in their younger days.
But the time they spent apart made their bond stronger and after reconciling, they moved to the UK together in 1995.
Gino and Jessica have had three children together, Luciano, Rocci and Mia.

Home life
Gino describes their relationship as a "traditional marriage".
In in an interview he said: "I clean her car every week.
"I charge her toothbrush every time the battery is low, and I always bring her a bottle of cold water just in case she's thirsty at night."
