The election campaigns so far have given us some pretty wild moments, from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak revealing he made plenty of sacrifices as a child – most importantly, Sky – to Ed Davey splashing into sewage-filled water.

But in a long list of bizarre moments, David Cameron may have just topped the list.

During an interview on Sky News on Thursday, the Foreign Secretary channelled his inner Gino D’Acampo.

Well, almost.

Cameron quoted one of the TV chef’s most iconic lines ever: ‘If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike.’

Speaking to Sky News’ Kay Burley, when asked for his plans if the Conservative Party lose, he replied: ‘If my mother had wheels, she’d be a bicycle.’

He went on: ‘I don’t answer questions beginning with the word if!’

The first time this clip went viral was back in 2010, when Gino had been teaching then-This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield his Italian macaroni cheese recipe.

During the ITV segment, Holly made a small comparison about his food, remarking that if the pasta dish had ham in it (with Gino already dismayed), his authentic Italian meal would be ‘closer to a British carbonara.’

Gino stopped in his tracks, before he delivered the line of the century: ‘If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike.’

The moment from 2010 has since become a cultural icon, and was only one of a series of Gino’s wildest This Morning quotes, like when he advised a caller to spice up her marriage by having a threesome or called a pregnant Holly ‘up the fluff’.

Sharing Cameron’s quote followed by the iconic This Morning moment, TV critic Scott Bryan wrote on X: ‘Just another surreal day before the election.’

Fellow TV critic @jackseale replied: ‘Only one pro there though, “grandmother” is much funnier.’

‘Man of culture,’ @findiglay added, while @BillieAdora_ said: ‘This country isn’t real sometimes I swear….’

‘As if he just quoted what gino decampo said on this morning years ago. What a whopper, apart from gino said grandmother rather than mother!’ @buntiman laughed.

@joshclaytes simply said: ‘Gino D’Cameron.’

This comes after the former Prime Minister said he didn’t feel sorry for Sunak, who had to apologise after missing the latter part of the D-Day 80th anniversary on July 6, saying on Radio 4’s Today programme: ‘What I feel about Rishi Sunak is that he’s a very capable Prime Minister.

‘I don’t feel sorry for him because he’s a very effective Prime Minister who wants to go on doing his job.’

While he admitted the polls don’t ‘look good’ for his party, he added: ‘they didn’t look very good in 2015 when I won the election’.
