Gino D’Acampo is planning his television comeback with a new travel series called “An Italian In Malta” set to air in September, alongside his first acting role in an unnamed Irish series.<\/p>\n

The celebrity chef revealed his return to screens comes after he was removed from ITV programming in February following allegations of inappropriate behaviour, which he has denied.<\/p>\n

D’Acampo will play an Italian-American mechanic in the scripted drama, marking his acting debut.<\/p>\n

“I am playing a part in a series, my part is this Italian-American mechanic that is always in trouble with the police or always in trouble with the law,” he told The Mirror.<\/p>\n

The travel programme will see D’Acampo exploring Malta to showcase the Mediterranean island to international audiences.<\/p>\n

“The idea is to show everyone all over the world a bit about the country – I want to find the perfect restaurant, the perfect recipe, the perfect spot,” he explained.<\/p>\n

The presenter plans to delve into Malta’s culinary heritage during filming. “I will speak to the local people, what they cook and how they cooked 200 years ago,” he said.<\/p>\n

D’Acampo recently opened his first international restaurant, Luciano, in Malta earlier this month to positive reviews.<\/p>\n
