The celebrity chef, 45, got emotional as he recounted to his son stories about his dad, Ciro.

In episode two, Gino took his 16-year-old son Rocco to his hometown of Naples.

Talk of his dad begin when the two visited the Napoli football stadium and he whipped up some yummy-looking meatball subs.

And then he took Rocco to the cemetery to visit his family grave – where his grandfather, grandmother, father and uncle were buried.

He explained to his son that dad Ciro – who died in 2010 – didn’t want a picture on the tomb but was “loved by the people”.

Gino became emotional talking about him, and Rocco asked he thought he would be proud of everything he had achieved.

“Oh yes,” Gino smiled through his tears.
