SEEKING SANTA
ITV, 9pm
A VIEWER warning – once you’ve seen Italian chef Gino d’Acampo wearing a tropical- themed mankini and a Santa hat, you’re unlikely to be able to ever unsee it.
He and roadtrip pals Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix are deep into another mis-adventure, this time cracker.
Of course, there is a foodie theme, but fans will mainly be watching for the idiotic boyish banter and bickering.
Last time these three amigos went on a road trip, there was goat yoga, much singing to The Village People and Gino ended up stoned after a hippy high tea – so who knows what could happen.
They are off to the ultimate winter a
Christmas- themed wonderland and the official home of Santa, heading to Lapland in their trusty RV.
They are hoping to have some snowy fun and meet the big man himself.
Gino has a letter he wants to hand deliver to Santa from his daughter Mia, Fred is keen to witness the wonder of the Northern Lights and Gordon wants them all to enjoy the culinary delights of the country.
They will chow down on some

reindeer meat with Finland’s indigenous Sami people and in a more traditional offering, Gino will also offer some advice for everyone who will be trying to make the perfect Christmas turkey.
But there will also be plenty of offmenu experiences, from a Finnish sauna, to snowmobiles, huskies and ice swimming.
Expect a chilly, hilarious, bonkers journey with occasional nudity thrown in.
