Gino D'Acampo has weighed in on a debate that has been causing arguments for years - does pineapple go on pizza?

The Italian chef was horrified on today's This Morning when a child in the studio revealed their favourite pizza topping.

It came in the middle of Gino's pizza masterclass, where the TV chef showed a group of schoolkids how to make pizza from scratch.

But one girl's answer horrified Gino, who knows a thing or two about Italian cuisine.

"My one's ham and pineapple," said Poppy, unaware of the drama her answer would cause.

"Pineapple? " questioned Gino. "Pineapple, a fruit, on a pizza?"

Presenter Ruth Langsford , who didn't see what all the fuss was about, asked: "What's wrong with that?"

Furious Gino replied: "Pineapple should never be on a pizza. It's like putting an apple on a pizza."

American professional ice skater, Matt Evers, informed Gino that it was actually a Hawaiian pizza.

But Gino stayed firm and claimed they "don't exist" in his home country of italy.

A lot of This Morning viewers agreed with Gino and claimed he had settled the debate.

One viewer said: "Gino the King himself just confirmed...PINEAPPLE DOESN'T GO ON PIZZA"

Another added: "Gino said pineapple doesn’t belong on pizzas. He’s a chef and he’s Italian soooo that’s final"

A third said: "That’s right Gino. PINEAPPLE SHOULD NEVER BE ON A PIZZA!"
