TV chef Gino D'Acampo's restaurant chain has reportedly been saved by Iceland founder, Sir Malcolm Walker, according to The Sun.
The group reported serious losses of almost £3m even before lockdown, and now Walker has stepped in with a major loan - believed to be several million - to keep it afloat.
D'Acampo's My Restaurant portfolio is part of the Individual Restaurant Group. The sites can be found across England: Camden, Euston Station, Harrogate, Hull, Leeds, The Springs Leeds, Liverpool, Corn Exchange Manchester, My Pizza & Prosecco Bar, and My Coffee & Deli Bar, Arndale Manchester.
The Individual Restaurant Group is operated by Iceland bosses and a friend of D'Acampo's, Stephen Walker.
Despite these setbacks, D'Acampo is apparently still looking to expand his chain beyond the UK.
