Fresh from a hugely successful fourth series of Gino's Italian Escape on ITV, Gino D'Acampo is taking his passion and flair for Italian cookery to live audiences next spring.

The TV chef will embark on an 18-date national tour in April and May, 2017, with tickets now on sale.

His live stage show promises signature recipes from all corners of his beloved Italy, blended with Gino's irrepressible humour, audience participation and plenty of surprises along the way.

Alongside regular appearances on This Morning, Gino presents the hugely successful Gino's Italian Escape and has released several best-selling books including Fantastico!, The Italian Diet and A Taste of the Sun.

His live show will see him demonstrate how to cook some of his favourite dishes from his popular Italian Escape series - and he's sure to be inviting some lucky audience members to join him on stage for a memorable, up-close experience.

Commenting on the tour, Gino said: "I am very excited and can't wait to get out there and share some fantastic food and cooking tips from my home country. It's going to be Gino - Live and unleashed."
