Gino D'Acampo marks lookalike son Rocco's 18th birthday with cute throwback shot
Gino D'Acampo celebrated a big family moment as son Rocco turned 18 by playing the embarrassing dad.
He offered a tribute to the teenager on Instagram with a sweet selection of throwback snaps.
The 46-year-old chef uploaded a photo planting a kiss on the baby's cheek taken back in 2005 when he was just a few months old.
They smiled for a selfie on a boat in another, with the third image taken as they filmed Gino's Italian Family Adventure in Napoli, Italy, last year.
Gino and wife Jessica also have son Luciano, 20, and daughter Mia, nine.

Last year, Gino made headlines after confessing how disinterested he is in being a dad.
"I don’t want to say I don’t like children, because it’s not true - I don’t like the children when they’re children," he said on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast.
"I don’t want to do children things – colouring, all that c**p, glittering, not interested, never been interested, never, ever, ever.

"I’m more present now for my boys than I was before."
Gino met wife Jessica when he was a 17-year-old chef and she was a waitress in a restaurant Sylvester Stallone's Mambo King in Marbella.
He explained on Good Morning Britain: "I used to be the chef in the restaurant and my wife was the waiter. We used to meet in the meat fridge.

The couple got married in 2002 and have three children together, but somewhat surprisingly for a passionate Italian chef, Gino has confessed he is not a big fans of romance.
"I don’t care about flowers or chocolates or anything like that, that’s not me," Gino told The Mirror in 2014.
"I tell you what I do. I charge her electric toothbrush, because if I don’t she’ll never do it. I make sure I always do the petrol in her car because I know she hates that, and I clean her car every week."
