Gino will be putting on a show to visitors to the Yorkshire Dales Food and Drink Festival next month.

The event will take place in Skipton from 21st-23rd July at Funkirk Farm.

Gino is not the only famous face who will be showing up at the event.

Other TV favourites including James Martin and The Hairy Bikers will also put on demonstrations and share their food secrets.

Gino will be facing the masses after a series of career setbacks over the past few month and so the star is likely looking forward to getting back on track by participating at the popular family run festival - which is the largest of its kind in the UK.

The Sun exclusively revealed that Gino's restaurant chain has gone bust with over £5million debt.

Liquidators have launched an in-depth investigation, costing a mammoth £150,000, which will look into the conduct of major stakeholders and why company books have gone missing.

It comes after Gino quit his show with Gordon Ramsay and Fred Sirieix after he was caught with cannabis by Border Force sniffer dogs.

The Sun previously revealed that just weeks before Gino quit the telly road show he was caught with the Class B drug as he flew into Britain on Gordon's private jet following filming in Spain.

A resurfaced clip from 2020 also showed the star taking drugs on camera while filming Gordon, Gino and Fred's American Road Trip.

Mystery surrounds why IRG - formerly known as Gino D’Acampo Worldwide Restaurants Ltd - ended up owing millions after being declared solvent last year.

Investigations are ongoing to figure out why a creditor for Gino D’Acampo Ltd has suddenly appeared and is owed nearly £5.4m from the company.

Last April, the company, owned by the This Morning TV chef, 46, and his wife Jessica declared itself solvent and two directors signed a declaration stating that it had no creditors.

The liquidators have now launched an expensive and painstaking investigation, which will look at areas such as why this debt has only come to light now, the conduct of major stakeholders, and the “whereabouts of the company books and records”.

The company's major shareholders are Gino, who owns 10 per cent, and Individual Restaurants Group Ltd, which acquired a 75 per cent stake in 2019 for an undisclosed sum.
