Gino D'Acampo admits 'I'm a lover not a fighter' as Family Fortunes contestant wants to wrestle him

Gino D'Acampo was forced to turn down a peculiar offer during an instalment of Family Fortunes, when a professional wrestler decided to shoot his shot on national television.

The Italian host welcomed two new families to the ITV2 show on Monday, April 29, in the Mohammed family from Fife, and the Hayes from Northumberland - each with hopes of taking home a pretty cash prize of £30,000.

And after making his way down the Mohammed family, getting to know them, an interesting fact was revealed about youngest son Umar.

Asking the Mohammed family how they would spend their winnings should they be successful on Family Fortunes, Gino questioned: "So what are you going to do if you win the £30,000?" to which, head of the family Imran, responded: "My youngest son is a wrestling fan, so we're going to take him to America to a wrestling show."

Bearing a smile, Gino said: "That's cool," before asking: "Why are you into wrestling Umar?" To which, the contestant responded: "I don't know, it's just the confidence you can have in yourself and show everyone and say 'I am the Asian Sensation'."

The studio audience burst into laughter, before Umar playfully fired his shot at Gino, saying: "I thought there was going to be a wrestling ring here and I thought I was going to face the Italian Stallion."

Taking a step back, Gino replied: "No, no I'm sorry. Sorry Asian Sensation. I'm a lover, not a fighter - I don't do the fighting thing, okay?"
