Other campaign models donned Santa hats and were adorned with silver tinsel.
It’s unclear whether the shoot was for footwear brand Footasylum. MailOnline has reached out to representatives for Gino and Footasylum for comment.

The star last ate with his beloved parent in August 2017 and she sadly passed away the following day. It’s not known why she died.

Elsewhere, Gino has returned for a third series of his television show Gordon, Gino and Fred’s Road Trip which sees Gino and his chef pals Gordon Ramsay, 54, and Fred Sirieix, 49, discover the spectacular food of Greece.

‘I think it has to be the most significant meal I had,’ he explained. ’13th of August 2017.
‘I went to see my mum, and she cooked an amazing spaghetti alle vongole. Such a simple thing with garlic and a bit of cherry tomato and clams. The day after, she died.’
He added: ‘I think… it feels that she knew that she was going to die. So she put everything into that meal, you know what I mean?’
