Together they will also work towards sourcing sustainable produce and embracing an environmentally-friendly lifestyle.

In a statement about the new show, the duo said: "We’re thrilled to be upcycled by ITV for another action-packed adventure and can’t wait to cook up some fantastic sustainable dishes whilst hopefully stirring up debate around these important issues.

"We might not come up with the recipe to save the planet but we hope to entertain, inform and inspire the audience to think about making changes in their own lives."

Nicola Lloyd, ITV's Factual Commissioning Editor and Sue Murphy, Head of Factual Entertainment, said of the show: "Gino and Fred have embraced their fair share of adventure over the years, but none more important than doing their tiny bit to save our planet … one organic vegetable at a time. Prepare for epic locations, mouth-watering food and a friendship that’s as durable as a reusable keepy cup."

The chef said: "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.

"So I have decided not to do it anymore because I want to be friends with the boys for many, many years ahead."

D'Acampo later insisted that they had not fallen out, adding: "I love the boys, we have a great friendship, that is not the problem. As I said in the video it's the contracts.

"Sometimes they get very overcomplicated and the main one was about the dates, trying to get the dates together. We tried and got the dates and then the dates got cancelled, then we started with other dates but they got cancelled again.

"Then I thought you know what? I can't do this anymore this has become too stressful I don't wanna do this."
